‘Terno’ is a word of Hispanic origin (In case you slept through history class, we’ve been a Spanish colony for 500 years). As a proper noun, it is the national attire for women. As an adjective, it means ‘to match’, an indication of a state of symmetry and proportion– something which definitely does not describe contemporary Philippine society. It sounds good, anyway.
Terno Recordings is the brainchild of Toti Dalmacion, a Manila-based DJ, vinyl collector, musician, and impresario who has evolved to be one of the most progressive figureheads of the scene. A preacher of the gospel of taste, he has exposed Metro Manilans to a wide range of musical styles ranging from both indiepop and rock to modern dance to bossa and everything in between. Among the acts he has brought in include Juan Atkins, Alec Empire, , Marques Wyatt, Derrick May, Jazzanova, DJ Q-Bert, Derrick Carter, Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier, Ken Ishii, Jason Bentley, Swayzak, Stacey Pullen, Doc Martin, Josh Wink, Fantastic Plastic Machine, The Lotus Eaters, D’ Sound, China Crisis, just to name a few. He definitely doesn’t live in a hut. And he has e-mail.
Terno Records is determined to bring to the world some of the finest new music with a Filipino twist: indiepop/rock, jazz,, house, techno, and everything in between. Yes, some of us actually know these things.
