On 11 October 2010, Brainfeeder released the debut album by a 23 year old ex-skater, painter and music producer from Chino Hills called Teebs (real name Mtendere Mandowa). The title 'Ardour' means great enthusiasm, love or passion and was a fitting descriptor for his inherently warm, lushly textured beats. It’s an undisputed classic in the Brainfeeder canon and more widely considered an essential chapter in the ever-evolving puzzle of the global “beat scene”.

Brainfeeder and Teebs are celebrating the 10th anniversary with a limited special edition reissue of this landmark record. Pressed on deep pink 2LP and housed in a beautiful gatefold sleeve with artwork by Teebs himself, the new edition features six previously unreleased bonus tracks.

With roots at the ‘My Hollow Drum’ collective, Dublab and Low End Theory, Teebs has been a staple in Los Angeles music. “My creative family in LA is so important,” he explains. “It’s a part of who I am when I step outside and how others in LA view me. I love the feeling of community and trying to understand how I can be useful in it.”

Following 'Ardour' (2010), Teebs released 'Collections' (2011), 'Estara' (2014) and, after a 5 year hiatus, his most recent album 'Anicca' in 2019, with the help of a host of musical friends including Panda Bear (Animal Collective), Sudan Archives, Ringgo Ancheta aka MNDSGN, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson and Anna Wise. Universally acclaimed, Pitchfork gave 'Anicca' a glowing 7.8 review hailing Mandowa’s “effortless, shape-shifting tracks that make time stand still.” Meanwhile, FADER described the record as “deeply atmospheric... cool-headed and uncanny.”

Brainfeeder is a L.A.-based record label, founded by Steven Ellison (Flying Lotus) and specialized in hip hop and electronica. Named after one of his tracks, Brainfeeder has always been more than a record label. Brainfeeder is an artist collective, a club event and a creative melting pot for electronic music as well. It celebrates a highly specialized music that goes beyond any borders – musically, culturally and nationally. It is an openness that Flying Lotus (who is the nephew of Alice Coltrane) might have adapted from the jazz world and that openness is reflected in the label’s roster: Samiyam, Daedelus, Gaslamp Killer, Tokimonsta, Teebs, Ras G, Mono/Poly, Lorn. »I think the most important thing to mention is the fact that nobody give a shit about the LA beat community and we just did our own thing for many, many years, and didn’t even think about what the world is going to think«, explains Gaslamp Killer the free development of the beat scene at the West Coast. That way Brainfeeder managed to become an institution for intelligent beats in a very short time.
