Tedd Patterson
“Tedd Patterson is a real New York institution, he’s from the dance-floor. A product of the 90's heyday of Sound Factory and SF Bar, you can hear that heritage in his productions and when he plays... In my opinion a real torch bearer for all that is fabulous and legendary about NYC.” - Terry Farley
Upon his arrival in NYC via ATL in the 90’s, Tedd established himself as a rising star in the underground dance music scene. As the In-house record promoter at Emotive Records and then at Liquid Groove, Tedd helped both labels become established as the ones to watch and while doing so, Tedd began his own journey onto the main stage representing House Music worldwide.
After numerous guest spots at some of New York’s most famous clubs like Limelite, Club USA, Tunnel, Save The Robots, and others, Tedd was handpicked by Leslie Doyle for The Magic Sessions alongside all-stars Louie Vega and Tony Humphries. His specific sound made him a pivotal player at the party and exposed him to a worldwide audience. Legions of fans followed as well as the release of “Sessions Twelve (The Magic Sessions)" compilation on Defected Records.
His signature party “Vibal” earned him a 13 year residency at the award-winning club Cielo. Tedd served his loyal fans in New York while making time to headline at some of the worlds best clubs: Ministry Of Sound in London, Panorama Bar in Berlin, Pacha Ibiza, Stereo in Montreal, and he created a massive following in the South of Italy, where he still returns each year.
As a producer and remixer, Tedd has made equally impactful appearances on celebrated, taste making labels like Strictly Rhythm, Nervous, Stereo, Junior, Unquantize, and Rekids, to name a few. His collaborations with Pete Heller, Eric Kupper, and Iberian heavyweights Chus & Ceballos have become house classics. Stateside, Tedd is a reoccurring player at Ladyfags’ Battle Hymn party in NYC, often in rotation at Brooklyn's House Of Yes and a few other NY Underground hotspots. He’s a fan favorite when his Horse Meat Disco family comes to town. And he’s a featured player at Glitterbox - Pride edition.
His latest studio projects include collaborations with Joi Cardwell, Ultra Naté, Danism and The Illustrious Blacks. He is the “music consultant “on a documentary film of a legendary disco artist that will be announced for release soon and creates custom music experiences for venues, events, and hospitality Clients.
“Tedd Patterson is one of my personal heroes. His artistry and passion for music laid the foundation for how I present music to this day.” - DJ Honey Dijon “My sets are about fusion,” Tedd explains. “I’m not an old-school soul, classics, or gospel house DJ, I’m adventurous, and my musical repertoire is very diverse. I like the soul that exists in a variety of musical forms. What appeals to me most is the fusion and contrast, that’s most obvious in how I program my sets. I’m not afraid to take a chance and that has become my signature and that works for me.”
