[Dynagroove] AFTERHOURS TONIGHT 07.13.01

[Love -n- Happiness]

*** Special Guest DJ TERRENCE TOY *** 

Began buying "45" records at the age of eight. Later on, his first album 
purchase (Earth, Wind & Fire¼s  "Open Our Eyes") would prime him for a 
future of playing records--a future that would open the eyes and ears of 
those who were lucky enough to be on his dancefloor. 

This dancefloor could at times, be as far away as Japan; where he was flown 
out to play a series of dates, that soon after, turned into a six month stay

because of so many offers to play in the country¼s best clubs. All of the 
major cities in the U.S. have hosted nights featuring his sound, as well as 
Montreal, Vancouver and other parts of Canada, plus countless trips up and 
down the West Coast. 

Based in Los Angeles since the beginning, his DJ career began after a friend

suggested that he enter a major DJ competition at a popular nightclub. After

easily winning the competition (by using two copies of Michael Jackson¼s 
Billie Jean), Terence went on to hold extremely popular residencies at such 
clubs as 24k, (held at The Probe nightclub) and later on Paradise 24, held 
at a venue called Circus (which now is known internationally as Giant). 
Paradise 24 was a Thursday night event that was always filled to its 
capacity of 2000 people, for the entire seven years that Terence Toy was the

resident. It was also the place where Terence made the transition from 
playing "freestyle"--a sound popularized by artists such as Debbie Deb, Lisa

Lisa and Expose--to the newer sounds that were known as "New York Dance." 

His friend and mentor David Bryant conducted a weekly ritual of hearing the 
sounds played by Larry Levan at the Paradise Garage on Saturday, purchasing 
them during his weekly trip to the record store on Monday, and sending them 
to Terence in Los Angeles by Tuesday. After some time these records became 
known in the underground as House Music, a sound for which Terence Toy has 
been well known throughout his extensive career. 

He began to expose thousands of people to this unique sound of dance music 
by hosting his own radio show "The Underground Beat" on 92.3FM The Beat in 
Los Angeles. At the same time he was heavily involved in exposing House 
Music to the people of San Francisco as resident of the city¼s largest and 
longest running club, Release. Produced by well-respected promoters Martel 
and Nabiel, Release was the logical place for Terence Toy to hold a 
residency in San Francisco. Terence Toy¼s working relationship with the 
successful promotion duo began when they heard one of his storming sets at 
the Winter Music Conference in Miami; soon after, they booked him to play 
their night at The Sound Factory, along with legendary vocalist Michael 
Watford. This in turn, lead to his residency at Release where he would play 
his version of House Music for four years.
