Timmy Regisford
Timmy Regisford is as much of a miracle as he is a marathon man. Born in Trinidad and raised in New York City, Regisford stems directly from Larry Levan’s Paradise Garage school of dance and house music with an emphasis on songs and tracks to lead you there. Being a DJ himself and working for WBLS and being schooled by celebrated radio jock Frankie Crocker, Timmy Regisford learned the ropes of the music business in one of its hit centres.
Together with partner Boyd Jarvis he recorded radio shows that are now the stuff of legend, created projects like Visual and Circuit, remixed Shannon, Colonel Abrams and Blaze as well as winning laurels as one of NYC’s most consistent and popular disc jockeys. Next to his day job as head of A&R for labels like Atlantic, MCA, Motown, and Dreamworks, he spent his nights at the helm of Manhattan’s Club Shelter – playing twelve hours and programming his impeccable sets with a broad range of music.
