Todd Terry, the Brooklyn producer behind Royal House’s “Can You Party” and the 1995 Everything But the Girl “Missing” remix, has no single 2026 Ibiza residency. Instead he is booked as a guest across the island: Amnesia’s Glitterbox on 21 August and 2 October, and Amnesia’s one-off Haçienda revival on 19 September.

Royal House, Black Riot and the Todd Terry Project: three names, one 1988
Todd Norton Terry, born 18 April 1967 in Brooklyn, broke through under aliases rather than his own name. As Royal House, “Can You Party” reached number 14 on the UK Singles Chart in June 1988 and spent 18 weeks in the top 75. It was his first UK hit. That same year, as Black Riot, the double A-side “Warlock” / “A Day in the Life” reached number 68 in December on Fourth Floor Records, and as the Todd Terry Project, “Weekend” peaked at number 56 in November.
“Weekend” had a second life. Re-released in 1995, it climbed to number 28 on the UK Singles Chart and topped the UK Dance Singles Chart for seven weeks, outperforming its 1988 original. The Official Charts Company files the same single under two separate artist credits, “Todd Terry” and “Todd Terry Project”, seven years apart, a filing quirk rather than two different records.
The remix that wouldn’t leave the chart: “Missing”, 1995–96
Terry’s club mix of Everything But the Girl’s “Missing” turned an album track into the duo’s biggest hit. The reworked single reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart in November 1995. In the US it did something no single had done before: it entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 94 in August 1995, eventually peaked at number 2 in 1996, and logged 55 weeks on the chart. It was the first single to spend an uninterrupted year on the Hot 100.
The remix helped earn Terry a nomination for the Grammy Award for Remixer of the Year, Non-Classical at the 1998 ceremony, alongside Frankie Knuckles (who won), David Morales, Mousse T. and Armand Van Helden. The category was retired in 2001 and replaced by Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical, which credits a specific work each year. The 1998 award did not, so no single title is attached to Terry’s nomination in Grammy’s own records. He remixed Michael Jackson’s “Stranger in Moscow” the following year.
Freeze Project: a first solo Ibiza residency, one season only
In 2025 Terry held his first-ever solo residency on the island: Freeze Project, Wednesdays at Eden in San Antonio, running from 25 June to 17 September across 13 weeks. Eden’s own announcement called it “an absolute honor to join forces with Todd Terry for his first-ever solo residency in Ibiza.”
That residency does not appear on Ibiza Spotlight’s dated list of his 2026 Ibiza bookings, which instead runs from a one-off at Chinois in April to Glitterbox’s Amnesia dates in October. No source consulted confirms whether Freeze Project is continuing at Eden later in the 2026 season, so it is treated as unresolved below rather than assumed either way.
Freeze Records to Defected: the catalogue behind the name
Terry founded Freeze Records in 1991 and In House Records in the early 2000s, labels his own site lists him as still running alongside SoundDesign and Terminator. Defected compiled his catalogue as “Defected presents House Masters — Todd Terry”, an 18-track release issued 24 June 2016 drawing on Black Riot, Masters at Work-era club mixes and his own vocal hits.
“Something Goin’ On”, credited to Todd Terry featuring Martha Wash and Jocelyn Brown, reached number 5 on the UK Singles Chart in July 1997 and spent 26 weeks on the chart, his highest UK placing under his own name. The pairing with Wash and Brown, two of house music’s most sampled vocalists, had already produced a number 8 hit the year before with “Keep On Jumpin'”.

What the night is actually like
Terry’s 2026 Ibiza work splits by time of day and audience rather than by a single night. At O Beach in San Antonio he is booked as a daytime poolside act (from 13:00) alongside vocal-house DJ Janika Tenn; at Amnesia’s Glitterbox he plays superclub main-room slots from 23:30 to 06:00 on bills built around disco-inflected house, with Groove Armada, Mousse T. and Salomé Le Chat among them. Resident Advisor describes him as “a go-to for the vocal House party brand”, and the description fits both settings: “Keep On Jumpin'” and “Something Goin’ On” are both vocal, disco-adjacent records, three decades old and still exactly what a Glitterbox crowd wants at 4am.
The 19 September date is a different proposition. FAC51: The Haçienda is a one-off nostalgia bill built around the Haçienda Classical Orchestra, with Manchester-scene names Graeme Park, Mike Pickering and DJ Paulette and vocalist Alison Limerick, rather than a contemporary house lineup. Terry’s booking on it reads as a legacy slot, a founding-era New York producer added to a Manchester 1988–92 revival night, rather than a continuation of his regular Ibiza guest-DJ run.
