RIP Terror Danjah - an instrumental person in my journey in music. Some things you may not already know ↳ His instrumentals being released via Planet Mu and Hyperdub in 2009 and 2010 opened the doors for Grime to be documented as it should have always been as pioneering electronic music recognised and written about in the same places that House, Techno, Dubstep, Jungle etc were. This is obvious now, but at the time, he was one of the people leading the fight for this. ↳ The instrumental album as a format was a lot less common back then in Grime, and Gremlinz blew the door open for many of the producers in the scene to become acknowledged as artists in their own right, just like the MCs are. ↳ I was introduced to him at 20 years old by a mutual friend Loudmouth, with no real experience in the music scene and he believed in my ideas for Butterz the label, and agreed to be the first release. He made Bipolar / Air Bubble over the phone to me and this helped us start with a respected name in the scene. His enthusiasm for being open source at the time was really cool, and involved 100s of producers getting to remix him at a time where there was a lot less information, and access to stems online. ↳ I heard Swindle's remix of 'Zumpi Hunter' on BBK's Microphone Champion set, and Terror introduced us, which was the catalyst to working with Swindle long term. There are many examples like this he's likely done for maybe 100's of people. ↳ Across 2010-2012 he encouraged us to take risks, go on and do bigger nights and was central to the vision behind the nights we did at Cable. He embodied that dancehall spirit musically, and as a personality in person as a host on the mic. ↳ The 'producer/dj' wasn't as much of a thing in the early 10's in Grime, which again today is unthinkable - but Terror's music took him around the world as a DJ way before this was commonplace in Grime, even for MCs. Thank you for this, and everything else. RIP
