dj for hire>

You may have heard me as a resident DJ on air at 99.7, vibefm.vegas. I first DJ'd professionally in the 80s and was active DJing around Las Vegas the past few years. I've played outdoor festivals, art openings, night clubs, weddings, political events, underground venues and more. You can learn more about booking me here. Check out a 2024 LEGENDS mix here.

I hold the remarkable distinction of being the very first DJ ever to perform at the legendary Burning Man festival, way back in 1992

In 1992 Terbo Ted was the first DJ to play on the playa
at the Burning Man Festival. He was the only
person ever to be "Mayor of the Techno Ghetto"

Burning Man has been ruined. But it was
doomed from the beginning.

I wrote a song about going to the playa in 2024. Recorded back in Las Vegas on Labor Day, September 2nd. I have files you can download and play with, including here: a .wav, .mp3 and stems here: www.terboted.com/songs/

custom t-shirts>

I have been working with a state of the art Direct to Film or DTF printer in Las Vegas, it's used to make decals to go onto fabric. It's amazing technology, and far higher quality than silkscreening. Let me know if you need shirts or hats or hoodies or anything like that. I have my own heat press and can make one of a kind short run items. I have been designing a great number of shirts in the past year including for First Friday in the Arts District, various local businesses and our band DJ Dad Shirt. Here's some of the sites I'm working with, featuring my original designs:

Dumpster Flats
Skateboarding Penguin
Nanographic
TRASH ROBOT Shirts
TIKI TED Shirts
