His productions can be described as a varied smorgasbord of samples blending the sounds of classic disco, the more introspective Chicago sound pioneered earlier in the decade, plus plenty of hip-hop attitude and sampling piracy.

Among his fans Todd Terry is known as "Todd the God" (or occasionally, simply "God"). This even though he has often been accused of recycling his own beats and effects (in his production work as well as a DJ) a bit too often.
