Quickfire: Marshall Jefferson & Todd Terry

Marshall Jefferson. Todd Terry. If you're reading Ransom Note you probably don't need to know much more than that. Two titans who, between them, have reshaped pop culture around the globe, both have had immense impact in the UK ( we'd even suggest that they're more revered here in our House loving nation than they are back home), and both are still big in the game, smashing clubs week in week out, bringing out killer tunes, and tirelessly spreading the gospel of jack. We're pretty sure this is the first time Terry and Jefferson have interviewed each other, so finally we get to know the pressing answers to the big questions: Who owes Todd money, why does Marshall think Kanye married Kim K, and just why does Todd wear his cap backwards….?
