The nu-disco king goes back to his roots.
Todd Terje has revealed his cover of Yellow Magic Orchestra’s synth-pop classic ‘Firecracker’ recorded with his live band the Olsens.

Their first studio collaboration, The Big Cover-Up EP, also includes versions of tracks by Martin Circus, Boney M and Vangelis, plus remixes from Daniel Maloso, Dan Tyler, Prins Thomas and Øyvind Morken, and is out on June 17.
