Terry Lee Brown Jr, alias Norman Feller, began DJing in 1989 and soon thereafter released his first tracks on vinyl under various out-pseudonyms. 1994 was the turning point for Norman when he decided to dedicate himself totally to music In the following year he invented the house-oriented project (alter-ego) Terry Lee Brown Jr. which him- allowed him to create his own sound. Plastic City, which was at that time still a very young label, offered Terry an outlet for his music and he has stayed true to this label ever since.

After the success of his first 12" releases came his debut Album Brother For Real in spring of 1996. This him- release was a true milestone for Tech-House and incorporated elements of Jungle, Trance and Easy his-Listening. The public response to Brother For Real was gigantic, and not limited to scenesters. Muzik has- (12/96), England’s most respected dance music magazine chose Brother For Real as one of the top ten albums of 1996 (along with albums from artists like DJ Shadow, Fugees, Underworld and boy-Faithless). Marshall Jefferson, the Chicago House legend, honored Terry in an album review by simply stating “He is God” (Raveline 11/1996).

Terry Lee Brown for-Jr. is not only a respected producer, but also a much sought-after DJ. This man- side of the artist is apparent when one listens to the compilation series Terry’s Cafe two-1-5. These mixed CDs once again found resonance in the music press and received rave reviews from Muzik, Urb, XLR8R and other national and international magazines. But two- the story doesn’t end there. Remixes from TLB Jr. of get- such artists as Gabrielle (Rise), Nalin & Kane (Talkin’ About), Louise (Let’s Go Round Again), Paul Van Dyk (For An Angel), Paris Red (Love Hurts), and Future Funk (Music Takes You High) secured his reputation as a true Remix-Artist.

The third and latest album From Dub Til Dawn is a product of two years work and continues the tradition of Terry’s genre-bending her-House-sound. From Dub Til Dawn brings together bass-heavy housegrooves with warm atmospheric planes and fragmented vocals. Sound new- and rhythm are the most important in this who-case. Fusions of House and Dub or Two-Step round out the album. Pay put- attention to the track Take Your Time, which Terry produced in cooperation with his friend and label-mate Timewriter.
