Terry Farley is a Londoner whose formative years were spent as a fervent Chelsea supporter. By the 80's, the London club scene had gripped him and his day job as a gas fitter granted him his first tentative steps into Djing at black soul soul clubs playing electro and go-go.

Before long he was warming up with rare grooves for Paul Oakenfold at the Raid parties and started the now notorious Boy's Own fanzine with Andy Weatherall.

Remixes came first. Terry remixed 'Wrote For Luck' with Paul Oakenfold and then went onto mix the Happy Monday's and Primal Scream in the height of balaerica. This led onto Terry's first productions with Andy Weatherall, Hugo Nicholson and Pete Heller under the name Bocca Juniors, the result of which was 'Raise' 'Substance'. From here Terry teamed up with Pete Heller and has gone onto remix many of the worlds leading artists and singers, everyone from U2 to New Order, to Simply Red.

They have also gone onto produce other artists such as Kylie Minogue, The Farm and M People. Additional production work includes Kylie Minogue, U2, Jamiroquai, Michael Watford and Michael Jackson. Recent remixes for NRK Sound Division and Low Pressings and releases on Junior such as 'Sun too high in the sky' and 'Rainbow seeker'.

His own productions include his hits with the Farley & Heller project ­ 'Ultra Flava' and 'Shout To The Top' plus recent collaborations with hit artist Rui Da Silva and many club hits as 'The Path', 'Fire Island' and 'Roach Motel' as well as mix CD's for Pacha nightclub. 'Late Night Sessions' (Ministry), 'Journeys By DJ' and most recently for his own 'Faith' Compilation.

When he's not showing off his extensive trainer collection, or informing anyone who will listen about being a gay Puerto Rican trapped in a white man's body, you're most likely to find Terry Farley in a dj booth. Or on the dancefloor at Space, pulling faces while Danny Tenaglia drops 'Elements.' Or organising bank holiday beanos called Faith. Or scrawling opinionated scandal in the same-name fanzine he runs with 'Last Night A DJ Saved My Life' author Bill Brewster and Soulsonic's Leo Elstob. Forget '88 and all that: Terry Farley is no dewy eyed nostalgic, despite the fact that he and his Boys Own gang practically invented London club culture with their parties, fanzine label and fuck-off attitude.

He's just a house freak. A dyed-in-the-wool lover of basslines that could blow the stripes off your sneakers, deep, tribal grooves and good, old fashioned bass-bathing, head-twisting club music. A career that started with the Boys Own parties, setting up the revered Junior Boys Own label, Djing and producing with long time associate Pete Heller, Terry has handed his production midas touch to a variety of acts including Primal Scream, Happy Mondays, New Order, Pet Shop Boys and Funky Green Dogs.
