Inspired by italo, electro and the 80s new wave movement, Teeel aka Jim Smith credits his sound to marathon movie watching and being an obsessive gear head. Creating music in a 10×10 teal painted room, stacked with vintage synthesizers and guitars, TEEEL creates music that ranges from hypnotic synthpop to dreamy disco and dark electronica. Although TEEEL is a fairly new solo project, Jim Smith is no rookie in the music industry. He’s been producing a wide range of music, performing with bands and DJing in clubs since the late 90s. His debut album, AMULET (Moodgadget Records) has generated quite the buzz in the blog world as well as being featured on KEXP radio. “Dark Passenger” was featured as “Song of the Day”.

Press:
“There’s no way to listen to Secret School (aka Andrew Sutherland) without thinking of the word ‘lush’. Like a lot of producers these days, he puts forth a kind of dreamy, emotionally earnest maximalism. It’s a pleasant place to be, filled with warm, floating tones, easy-going drums and vocal tracks mixed halfway down into the instrumentals to make it sound like Sutherland’s treading water in a backyard pool filled with liquid electro.”
-Ben Gray, The Weekly Dig

“Many electronic artists often fall into the trap of sounding like their primary descriptor; electronic. Cold, mechanic, sterile. But Secret School keeps it organic, bathing listeners in perfectly humanized beeps, blips and beats.”
–Steven Miller, Supertonic Media

“…Sutherland fills the room with sounds, then sets them bouncing off each other to echo in the rafters. The result sounds more personal and far less sterile than most forays into the dance pop genre.”
-Boston Band Crush

Reflex.Ion is the abstract, soulful, downtempo output of Chicagoland based Robert Holub, who began work on music at the very end of the 90s, and has been working on everything from the outlandish to the serene since the early 2000s. A Computer Engineer by day, striking, deep, contemplative musician by night, Holub has an extensive knowledge of hardware, software, sounds and samples, and has no fear of manipulating anything in between. The ultimate goal: to achieve a sound that’s as much a joy to listen to as it is to make. Creating soundscapes that take the listener to another place, even if only in their mind. A place of solitude, comfort, and reflection. A place where dreams and thoughts can play out like cinema, with Reflex.Ion’s music simply placing the backdrop, the emotional tug that belongs in the movie that you didn’t think was there, until it was gone. Perfect for fans of Flying Lotus, Teebs, and Boards of Canada.
