To some, Terry Francis might seem like a producer who suddenly came out of nowhere. But truthfully, the British DJ and producer has been hard at work in the underground club scene for over three decades. With his sleek fusion of techno and house, he’s become one of the UK’s top DJs and has earned coveted residencies across the country.

He would eventually gain a few more fitting residencies, where he was able to spin alongside other tech house players like Colin Dale, Mr C and Eddie Richards. His longest standing residency would be with Fabric London, one of London’s premiere venues for electronic music.

It was instrumental in the rise of tech house and its spreading influence across the world. Wiggle was eventually spun into a record label, and in 2019 a compilation album of past performers was released to celebrate the club night’s 25th anniversary.
