One of house music’s true originators, Todd Terry was first discovered by pioneering New York house imprint Fourth Floor Records.

This pair of tracks created under his Black Riot alias in 1988 both feature his trademark raw, jacking drums.

The unmistakable rave stabs on ‘A Day In The Life’ were to reappear on countless hardcore records – testament to the track’s influence – whilst the cut-and-paste sample patchwork of ‘Warlock’ defines the house sound of that era.

This release also includes Full Intention brand new update of the title track.
