hello all, 

I just wanted to post a little information on a party my friends and I will 
be throwing next month. 

Absurd is very excited to be bringing Fabric (UK) resident DJ, Terry 
Francis, to Los Angeles. This is the second time Absurd has brought out 
Terry, and this time we are pleased to announce that he will be playing an 
extended 5 hour + set. 

Mr. Annand (Tropical House / Moontribe LA & Absurd Resident) will be setting 
Terry up with a 4+ hour set of his own. (yea) So, for those of you who have 
never really heard Ben put it down tech-house style, this is your night to 
catch it. 

I personally have been working really hard to find a location particularly 
special and fitting for this night of amazing music. Hard work does pay off 
and I think I may have succeeded! Hopefully many of you will come and join 
us as we dance the night away in one of the most mind-blowing (and virgin) 
warehouse locations Los Angeles has ever seen. I cannot say anything more 
about this, except that you will not want miss this.

So, I thought that maybe we should provide some BIO information on Mr. 
Francis. Here is a little information about him from Resident Advisor’s 
site: 

“Since winning Muzik magazines "Best New DJ" award in 1997, Terry Francis 
has had what can only be described as a meteoric rise to fame. To those 
previously unfamiliar with his flawless mixing skills and instinctive 
ability to work a crowd it probably seemed as if he'd arrived out of 
nowhere. Fact is though, he had been blazing a trail through the underground 
for no less than ten years before the world at large sat up and took notice. 
And perhaps more than anything else it was unanimously praised 
"Architecture" mix album that really put him on the map. 

A seamless mix of deep, dubby house, celestial breaks and ethereal vocals - 
it was shot through with the kind of shimmering techno sensibility that 
really marked it out as something special. Some called it "tech house", 
whilst Terry himself jokingly described to it as "house no". 

Any labeling of Terry's style is fairly pointless because what he does is 
what all the very best DJ's do. He blurs the lines between the past and the 
present to create the future and always plays from the heart. Crucially 
though, he does fit just that little bit better than almost anybody else. 

Aside from the continued success of Wiggle and the release of his 
"Architecture 2" mix album on Pagan, the last few years have seen Terry's 
career continue to bosom. He's constantly toured all over America, 
Australia, New Zealand and the far East, made weekly trips to just about 
every country in Europe and still found the time to record for labels like 
Hooj Choons, Yoshitoshi, Alien and Primal US. 

In October 1999 he started a residency at London's Fabric, where he 
continues to delight both old hands and new comers alike each and every 
Saturday night.” 

oh wait, let me stop the hype
. cuz this is for real. Terry will put some 
shit down and mix it like no one you have ever heard.
