Momentum Music

Calyx & TeeBee’s first collaborations emerged in 2004, but their history and friendship dates back to 1998 when they were introduced as label-mates of the legendary Moving Shadow imprint. In the following years the two artists accumulated an astounding back-catalogue of releases on a glittering array of DnB’s most respected labels.



In 1999 TeeBee founded what was to become one of the scene’s most reputable labels: ‘Subtitles’. The imprint grew from being a home for his own productions to a multi-artist label that is now highly revered by producers and DJs alike as a flag-bearer for the cutting-edge of forward-thinking Drum and Bass.



When Calyx and TeeBee finally decided it was time to work together in the studio, the first two tracks they produced (‘Follow The Leader’ and ‘Cyclone’) were highly acclaimed by the music press and witnessed huge DJ support across the scene. With both tracks featuring on Calyx’s debut album ‘No Turning Back’, they went on to gain enormous exposure for the duo as Rockstar games used their music as the soundtracks for a global advertising campaign for the latest installment of the colossal ‘Midnight Club’ series; with ‘Follow The Leader’ featuring on a lengthy TV commercial that gained huge publicity by being given blanket prime-time coverage for several months in every world territory.



In 2006 Calyx & TeeBee produced one of their landmark releases of the year: ‘The Quest’ which featured on the historic 50th release for Subtitles. Having also written ‘The Shape Of Things To Come’ for Renegade Hardware’s 10 year anniversary album ‘Above The Game’, the duo then decided it was time to embark on the long journey to produce their debut collaborative album ‘ANATOMY’.



2007 proved to be a phenomenal year for the duo with the launch of their new label ‘Momentum Music’, marking its first release with an entire album of Calyx & Teebee collaborations released on 4-piece Vinyl and CD. The Anatomy LP proved to be one of the most highly anticipated albums in DnB for many years. With every track gaining massive DJ support from all the scene’s top players, the album topped sales charts for weeks on end and was followed by a massive album World Tour of back-to-back Calyx & TeeBee sets.



Calyx & TeeBee are now working towards completing their second collaborative album – an LP which will see them branch into new genres with one half of the LP being DnB and the other half comprising a wide range of styles. Expect a Vinyl triple pack of 6 DnB cuts, and all 20 tracks released on double-CD and mp3. Two mouth-watering remixes of tracks from the Anatomy LP are currently in progress by 2 highly-acclaimed artists and will feature on a Momentum 12” prior to the new LP’s release.



In addition to their ventures into new styles of music, Calyx & TeeBee have been pushing for more of their joint sets to feature 6 decks and 2 mixers, with both DJs in action simultaneously. They first performed with this setup at a legendary event in Moscow, October 2007. Since then have made over 30 performances on 6 to 8 decks and 2 mixers. With each gig they have discovered more permutations, possibilities and ideas whilst developing an understanding that generates both spontaneous and choreographed moments. Calyx and TeeBee find it by far the most exciting, enjoyable and expressive way they have ever performed and are now looking to make every joint booking feature this setup. Rest assured, you will never have heard or seen a DnB performance like it!
