Torgeir Byrknes, better known by his stage name Teebee, is a Norway DJ and producer of drum and bass.
Musicology
Teebee's music is characterised by a strong dark and futuristic
science fiction influence. TeeBee material could be classed as
neurofunk or
techstep, although possessing a deeper
ambient music and atmospheric quality than much of this subgenre. His early work in particular owes an acknowledged stylistic debt to
Photek, and he was initially mostly associated with the Certificate 18 record label, alongside Photek, Klute and fellow Norwegian Polar. Following the folding of Cert 18 to enable the owner to release other genres of music, he, along with Polar, created the label Subtitles.
Teebee moved on to incorporate eclectic/experimental sounds into his music, mixing diverse samples into his tunes, such as China's Wong Fei Hung theme, "On the General's Orders".
In 2007, with long-time collaborator Calyx, Teebee released his first album "Anatomy" on the label "Momentum Music". Tracks from this album include "Telepathy" and "Warrior".
