Classically trained at a young age, Terence Tso (aka DJ Soo or DJ Something Or Other) has been involved in music the majority of his life. DJ Soo encountered the art of DJing almost by accident when stumbling upon a performance by the legendary DJ Q-bert at his college many years ago. Mesmerized by the (then) burgeoning scene of turntablism, Soo began seeking out turntable-related artists. It was only a matter of time before he discovered the art of the mix DJ and electronic music. After years of being a listener, appreciator, and partier that DJ Soo decided to take the next step and actively pursue the craft of DJing.
Beginning with his first loves of hiphop beats and drum n bass, DJ Soo eventually decided to eschew traditional genre lines and follow in the footsteps of some of his personal heroes such Z-Trip and Dj P, by mixing anything and everything together in a cohesive style. Fast rising in popularity as one of Vancouver's best eclectic DJs, Soo has taken to bringing the funk - regardless of which genre the funk belongs - to the dancefloor. Although he has garnered the dubious distinction of being known as a "mash-up" dj, Soo prefers to consider himself as a dj of great music communicated via the art of mixing.
DJ Soo had long collaborated with DJ Wood on various club nights and performances especially in the Vancouver drum n bass scene. As both Wood and Soo began veering towards more eclectic beats, it became a natural progression to collaborate and perform together on 4 turntables. It wasn't until January of 2005 that Wood n Soo exploded onto the scene with their now-legendary mixtape Mangladeshin' (right click to download): a 4-turntable, 80-minute odyssey mixed live with 79 individual records. Comprised of diverse beats from numerous genres, exclusive and unlikely blends, Mangladeshin' maintains a cohesive flow that would keep even the most jaded of partiers firmly entrenched on the dancefloor. With fans of the mixtape spanning the farthest reaches of the globe, Soo alongside DJ Wood is poised to take their borderless musical vision to the next level.
