“Deep house idol, queer theorist, media manipulator, seasoned contrarian – Terre Thaemlitz (alias DJ Sprinkles) operates in a field of one.” – FACT

“Transgendered performer, legendary House DJ, artistic intellectual and creator of a number of celebrated classic releases, Thaemlitz is easily amongst the most interesting and bravest of contemporary musicians and for that reason an asset to any artistic movement.” – Halcyonline - Albert Freeman, on Terre Thaemlitz's performance of "Soulnessless" at Issue Project Room in June 2011.
