BIG UP TERROR FABULOUS - TOP-RANKING DEEJAY IN THE 90S
Versatile deejay Terror Fabulous blazed out of the Mad House and Shocking Vibes camps in 1991 alongside man like Daddy Screw, Buju, Louie Culture, Beenie and Capleton and had a string of hits throughout the early and mid 1990s. Similar in style to Buju (without the rockstone voice) but with his own trademark pronounced intonation, Terror hit first with bogle gal tunes like Gwaney Gwaney & Dorothy and tuff reality tunes like No Retreat, No Surrender and Order. His 1993 collaboration with Nadine Sutherland, Action, was a worldwide hit, winning him a major label deal for an album. The excellent Yaga Yaga, produced by Dave Kelly, was well received but a return to the grassroots soon followed. He went on to record many great tunes for Penthouse, Digital B, King Jammys/John John, Fat Eyes, Xterminator, Black Scorpio and others, coming with more and more killer reality sides after 1994. Sadly the hits dried up by the end of the decade as the sound began to change and new names emerged and Terror Fabulous, along with fellow deejays Louie Culture, Terry Ganzie and Determine, seemed to drop out of the race
Continuous mix. 79 minutes.
Year 2 Year 12'' Discomixes 1987.
This series came out as a curious collection of mainly back-releases in
'87 and precious little was fresh. No Jammys, no Music Works, no Techniques here... Its an eclectic mix of styles and
periods, mixing up roots from the late 1970s, pre-digital dancehall and
contemporary UK productions. Good listening, but hardly cutting edge at the
time. Productions from Augustus Pablo, Tommy Cowan, Augustus Clarke,
Willie Lindo and Kangal. 1987 contrasts sharply with the other
Year-2-Year volumes in that it dips into the archives (no Jammys, no
Tubbys here). Features the Winnie Mandela hit tune by Carlene Davis, interesting in retrospect...
