RA.188 Terre Thaemlitz aka DJ Sprinkles

The producer behind RA's #1 album of 2009 starts off the year with an acoustic-electro ambient mix.

Terre Thaemlitz, AKA DJ Sprinkles, AKA G.R.R.L., AKA Kami-Sakunobe House Explosion K-S.H.E, AKA Social Material, AKA Teriko, AKA Terre's Neu Wuss Fusion, is something of a polymath. After moving to New York in the mid-'80s and getting bit by the house music bug, Thaemlitz adopted the aforementioned Sprinkles guise and quickly found a place via idiosyncratic DJing that combined the undeniable glamour of house music and "challenging, elaborated structures" as Thaemlitz bio puts it. 

It was a combination that didn't exactly make for populist sets, to say the least. But in listening to mixes since, you can tell that Sprinkles knows how to party.
