Terry Hobbs – What The House
Founder
Terry has been helping to drive parties together for
over 15 years between Spain and London for various
celebrated club nights (as well as several of his own). This
led to him launching the What the House Music brand in
2019 (as well as the sister brand What The Funk the
previous year).
Whilst the first 4 years were not always plain sailing
for What The House (2 years of a Pandemic didn’t help!), but
the line-ups have always been strong (The first year alone
featured Scott Diaz, The Journey Men, Sy Sez, Sara Garvey
and Dave Doyle) and the support for the project has
continually grown and they are now one of the major players
on the Costa Del Sol.Terry has been involved in music most
of his life, playing a variety of instruments from an early age
and DJing for nearly 30 years, but he left the scene for a
number of years whilst he decided to “take the sensible
route” to bring up a young family.
After a chance meeting with Tito Pulpo in the late
00’s though, he rediscovered a passion for DJing and
occasionally featured on Titos weekly “The Gospel” show on
a Thursday evening, before slowly starting to play out again
for brands such as SOS (Spain), Known for Soul and Fresh,
Sweet and Sexy (London) His eclectic style and ability to
turn his set in practically any direction depending on the
room, separate him from many of his contemporaries. He
continues to put on some of the finest parties on the Costa
Del Sol, as well as playing at most of the Major nightspots in
Andalucia. He is also the Resident DJ and event programmer
for Florida Beach, La Cala De Mijas.
The What The House Music brand continues to
thrive, having line-ups which have included heavyweights
such Terry Farley, David Penn, Danny Rampling, Neil Pierce,
Sebb Junior, Jac Project, Sy Sez, Sol Brown, Pat Bedeau,
Precious, Damian Charles and many many more just in the
last year.
2023 is looking like being even bigger with events
planned with Dr Packer, Jimpster and obviously the May
event with Stuart Patterson and London House Music.
