i need ted currier mixes ? mike

P.S. True Disc Jockeys know that Ted was doing it to perfection back when spinning records was an ART! Now a days all you need is a computer and certain software am I right? I know technology has to progress but don't it sometimes make you wonder what the hell ever happen to the good old days. Listening to those clean mixes gotta bring back memories!

Mr. Ted Currier. Yes all you fans out there he is the best. All these other Dee Jays out there don't even know what mixing really is. He was doing it FLAWLESSLY before CD turntables, beat counters, and all these tools that allow anybody to be a Dee Jay these days.I used to play music as well with a couple of partners and we used to stay up and check out all of his programs. We used some of his mixes as well. It sure made the crowd move that a--! All do respect but dam Larry Levan. He couldn't mix like that on any night. NOOOBODY did it like Ted. All the old heads who were listening, or dee jaying back then, know I'm telling the truth. He was way before his time. Not to knock any other guys that came along during that era, but I got to call it as I saw it. If there is a dee jay hall of fame Ted is in hands down.

Ted is alive and well..look him up on faceBook..he's on my buddylist..

Buongiorno a tutti e' possibile sapere il titolo del brano mixato con Gingo nel pezzo Disco 92 WKTU Original Studio 92 mix by Ted Currier pt1-1979 grazie mille.

TED CURRIER IS ALIVE AND WELL. HE WAS ON HOUSEMASONS.COM LAST NIGHT TALKING WITH THE DJS. TED STATED HE IS RETIRED FROM DJING BUT STILL ENJOYS LISTENING TO GOOD DJS.

Ted Currier was a major influence in my life. I was about 12 and I learned how to dj by listening to his incredible mix shows. I always give him and my brother Dj Raul Soto credit for making me the music lover and dj that I am today. Please add any updates on Ted. He is definitely a pioneer in music and Dj Style.

Hello, I'am James Johnson from Brooklyn NY I reside in North Carolina,Fayetteville.Ted was the man of Mastermix,When I play music I try blend Ted,This DJ so alsome.Nobody I mean Nobody put it down like Ted Currier.Those dawn blends wgere always perfect. I like to know where can I get his mix tapes from.

My comments should have said Ted's classmate from 1957-1967.

Thanx.

LEE

I was Ted's very close friend, neighbor and classmate 1967-1967 (in 2 schools).

I knew Ted's beautiful Mother and we spent many years hanging as small kids.

Later I was in the music industry (managed Top 40 Jazz group on Polydor, etc.), and was Ted's buddy / professional fotog (and in-studio, 'feed-back', recording / beat tester) in 1978-1980 (the Paco KTU / Frankie BLS, Billboard Disco Forum IV, Funhouse, Tunnel & Paradise Garage days).

When Ted became a VP of EMI, I also went other ways with my career and into Television.

Frankly, I have been looking for Ted for 10 years now and am very shocked and saddened to hear from this thread that Ted may have just passed away and I may have missed seeing him again, before he passed away.

In an often crooked and wild '70s industry, Ted was a SUPER hardworker and brilliant, great, kind, and for real, human being, who as a 'mixed-race' person, often overcame racism from all sides to work with everyone and make everyone feel comfortable in many, many, win-win situations.

If anyone can e-mail me the details of Ted's passing to me via this Forum, please be so kind as to do so.

I am a Television network executive and am always travelling, so please understand, as it might take me a few days to return your message.


With Great Appreciation,

Thanx.

Ted Currier was the best! Nobody blended songs like he did, I have a tape from a WBLS late night mix from 1980, it still brings chills! I always imagined Ted was in an airplane fighter's cockpit pulling the big lever when he was doing his mixes. My brother Steven and I even named our dj company after his mixing style: The Perfect Mix. Ted was(is) the best!!!!!!

I heard some bad news about Ted, He passed away two months ago, I was really sad to find this out. Really a great fan of his in the earily 80's. he will be greatly missed!!

Ted was more than a great DJ, he was a terrific producer. I worked with with him on a bunch of Sweet Sensation and Tony Terry sessions at Unique Recording and went out to his place in Kew Gardens. What a great guy. The music he produced still sounds awesome. Where the hell is he today?

WOW!!!! I was browsing the Internet and Ted's name pop into my head, I did a Google search and was surprised to see how many people remember him. He was a master!!! at mixing, I used to listen to his mixes on WBLS,I would also go to the FUN HOUSE to hear him play and he was even better live.I was always amazed by his skills. It is also true I have never in my 35 years of DJing heard a DJ who can even come close to matching his skills. if anyone has any of his mixes I would be willing to compensate for a copy, any format tape CD etc....

I remember in 1978 i tuned into ktu .& when i herd tedd mix it was like he was reading my mind beat after beat. Rite thier & then i knew that this cat was the master. he was my inspiration for mixing music.I wish could of record all of the saterdaynight master mix on ktu.When they had other djays mixing i did'nt bother recording it. Because it was just not the same. send me a mix tape if u can peace.hoolihoo/djdeyo from east newyork brooklyn!!!!!!!!!!

Boy, I have to chime in on the Ted Currier praise. The man truly was an artist with a great imagination. When'BLS had the "Special Musical Mix" during the week at Midnight in the early 80s, it was really the special treat. I echo the thoughts of many, he was 1 of my biggest inspirations to Dee-Jaying (is there such a word?).
Thanks Benny

ted currier
wow the man of the hour & time. he should be in the hall & fame for dj's.
he is a true pioneer. I also stay up late with friend just to listen to the tunes he play, and how he blended it.
I am a dj for the last 35yrs. and still going. I hang out with other dj's that still play disco in new york.
my name is dj chilly willy. and yes I would like to know where's (waldo), I mean ted currier. did he disappaer, or he don't want nobody to know where he's at. for the record I recorded alot of his mix show from radio. most tape got ruin but I still got some of his stuff with "wbls" and his name on it.
classics.

I MENTIOND ABOVE THAT TED USED TO MIX HIS TAPES IN MY OFFICE AT 920 BWAY.
I HAVE LOST WITH HIM AND WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE KNOWS OF HIS WHEREABOUTS.

Ted Currier was a master of disco blendig.It was his gift for fading a song into the next with impeccable timing and control,keeping the records on beat to a point where they would cancel each other-Truly a lost art in mixing!!!

Ted Currier was the best mix-DJ I have ever heard. He was, and still is, my idol. I went on to start a production company (BSG Productions LLC (bsidegourmet.com) and a "world dance" group called Samann (soundclick.com/Samann). Would love to meet him someday and thank him.

I used to listen to Ted on the WBLS Sat. Nite Dance Party. He was my inspriation for becoming a DJ.

My name is Andres from Williamsburg, Brooklyn in New York. If memory serves me right Ted Currier was my inspiration for listening to Disco music back in the late 70's. The WBLS Saturday Night Dance Party was my biggets reason for staying up late. I would write to the radio station, requesting a list of the songs Ted played. I had amassed a collection, any DJ would be proud to own.

My name is Barry and I am an old friend of Ted's. When he used to do the disco radio show, he used my office (Graebar Productions), the company who did the sound for 12 West, Troc. Saint, etc.
The previous comment about Ted and his razor cutting slices is all so true. He obviously did it to make his music perfect which it was. He was a character but a great guy.If anyone knows where to reach him, please let me know.
thanks

He would keep that razor with him at all times. He called me from Detroit when he and George were doing Atomic Dog. Glad he's doing fine. Ted was a major influence on club music with the fly boys and of course he produced Atomic Dog, a true legend of the era.

I used to call him "The Pause King" back during his Mix Show days on Radio!

Excellent!
