Not really needing any introduction, this young Norwegian just goes from strength to strength. 2001 has already seen a Knowledge Award as `Best International Producer` as well as critically acclaimed releases on his own Subtitles label as well as Fabio`s Creative Source – you have to be confident to take a track back from Grooverider`s Prototype label. With mysterious white`s fusing R&B and D&B like never before – the man has been very busy. Playing all over the world, presently in the midst of a massive US tour, Teebee has concreted his position in the top ranks of the D&B scene – he is simply too good to be ignored "It's time to fuck up the rulebook."
TeeBee Presents Black Science labs
Since first surfacing on Hopa's Alevel imprint four years ago TeeBee has made quite an impression on the Drum&Bass movement.
Through based in Bergen on the West coast of Norway, Black Science Production, three identical studios owned by Torgeir Byrnes, Kjetil Dale Sagstad & Sturle Lisaeth (recording as TeeBee, K & Norcturne respectively) have enjoyed considerable success with such luminaries as Rugged Vinyl, R&S and Audio Couture.
Torgeir explains to the respected Certificate 18 label. "While Rob Playford has been really supportive of my tear out material, Paul is not afraid of experimenting so what I'm doing as Black Science Labs is the sound of me expressing myself not as a DJ but as a band - a whole concept."
Through his music is severe, the tracks refuse to stoop to standard two step clichés - the driving force crystal clear production... WWhen myself and K started making music we wanted to push ourselves that little bit further. Though people want those hard beats and bass lines, we try to do it with a twist, every little hi-hat and snare is in there for a reason rather than just for the punch of it."
Rather than feeling handicapped by his distance from the UK Drum&Bass circuit, Torgei sees it as an advantage. "What I've found when DJ'ing in Norway is that people are much more critical, perhaps because they haven't grown up with Drum&Bass, and want to hear finished concept as opposed to a regular dancefloor tearer."
Ninety Nine sees continues: "If I'm not DJ'ing, I'm behind my sampler in the studio, and have been really focusing on the production as I need it to be tight and crisp and I feel that the more you do something the better you get at it."
