A Baltimore native, Teddy recalls listening to lots of Motown, Stax and Philadelphia International records at an early age. An avid record collector, he has collected everything from 60’s classic rock to 90’s house. In the late 70’s he began his DJ career performing for high school dances and neighborhood parties.
A key figure in the development of Baltimore’s club scene, Teddy Douglas began his professional DJ career in 1983, with a residency at Odell’s night-club and the Club House(Washington,DC).

In the mid-80s he began working at the city’s most influential DJ shops, helping establish dance music in a city that was virtually void of underground club culture. It was through one store, Music Liberated, that Teddy met both Thommy Davis (DJ and fellow record salesman) and Jay Steinhour (DJ and record buyer), whom would later form the Basement Boys.
With a fifteen year production resume that has elevated him to legendary status, Douglas still maintains an active DJ schedule.

He stays true to his Baltimore roots by hosting a monthly party in the city the first Saturday of the month is “The Garage Work Party” at The Paradox. In addition, Teddy plays regularly throughout the US, Europe and Asia. His travels have led him to DJ booths in the UK, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, and Italy, at some of the hottest clubs in the world. Teddy is head of A&R for Basement Boys Records, as well as the associated labels. Teddy is also the major creative force behind Basement Boys Productions.
