London based Terry Church is a sorely underrated DJ talent. His unique mixing technique, passion and quirky style has earned him sets all over the UK warming up for the best of them. He's still only 21-years-old.

Terry's best known in Eastern Europe despite living in London, and has become one of the region's most sought after UK DJs. He runs Bosnia's biggest night - London Underground, he hosts one of the most popular dance music radio shows in Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia, and has built up a large following in the area. There are very few international DJs that could lay claim to have developed the Bosnian electronic music scene more than Terry, and he plays in the country every month.

Where did it all begin? Terry's major early influences were Sasha and John Digweed. Aged 14 he purchased his first set of decks, and within a year he secured his first residency at Bar Coast in Guildford, Surrey. He built up a solid reputation for rocking dance floors with his progressive house sound, and in 2001 was awarded the title of 'Best Young DJ' in the south of England, after a gruelling competition. His award culminated in warming up for breakbeat legend Krafty Kuts at the Rox festival. With a remarkably mature musical taste for such a young age, Terry won the competition by mixing up breaks, tech house, electro and tribal in just 15 minutes in a very original manner. The 6000 people who watched his set were blown away.

This award proved to be a launchpad for Terry as more and more gigs began to come his way. A few years later and the list of successful gigs and top DJs he's spun with has grown. He's played alongside many big name DJs including James Holden, Sister Bliss, Nick Warren, Tomcraft, and Jonathan Lisle; for nights that include the main room of The Gallery, Sancho Panza, Stripped, Alt*Ctrl, Become One, and Dtour; and at clubs such as Turnmills, Heaven, 333, Ember, and The Pool Bar.

Terry runs his own weekly night at the Meze Lounge in Chelsea, London giving him an opportunity to experiment with different styles in a way that he is unable to do when playing one-off gigs at clubs. This has enabled Terry to build up a varied record collection comprising of progressive house, tech-house, breakbeat, electro, and minimal techno. He is also involved in organising one-off secret after-parties on a Sunday morning for the post-Fabric crowd allowing him to play to a devoted following.

It is his mash up of different styles that define his London and Bosnian residencies, and his radio show. "Eclecticism rules," he says. "I always think it's important as a DJ to keep things exciting and fresh, but playing the same genre all night is not interesting or exciting for me. That's why I think Eastern Europeans have especially warmed to me, because musically, they haven't become too genre-specific. They're more concerned with having a damn good party."

The future is full of promise for Terry who has recently been asked to tour Croatia and has a tour of Asia also in pipeline. With this busy schedule it's amazing that Terry still finds time to cram in his job as a music journo and website editor for DJ Magazine.
