Also Tonight in Music: Teebee @ Trinity

Posted by on Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 4:26 PM

The great Norwegian drum & bass DJ/producer Teebee is playing Trinity tonight with DJ Dan.

Here's what I said about Teebee last year in The Stranger:

Norway DJ/producer TeeBee (Torgeir Byrknes) made one of the last drum 'n' bass albums I really loved: 1999's Black Science (with K). The disc's hard, malevolent aura stayed on the right side of chilling without tipping into the hackneyed Hollywood horror-flick or shoot-'em-up video-game shtick that infected much of the genre's '00s output. TeeBee combines No U-Turn's merciless power with Metalheads' lethal rhythmic complexity and fetish for sci-fi themes. I lost touch with him earlier this decade, but a crash course in his more recent work—including that with Calyx—shows that TeeBee is still a potent force, keeping his tracks hard and lean while infusing more soul and melody into the equation.
