Teebs, the moniker of Mtendere Mandowa, is a producer and visual artist widely recognized in the realms of the Los Angeles beat scene and electronic music. With a sound that embodies a rich tapestry of ambient textures and lush melodic landscapes, Teebs' music is a testament to his unique artistry and personal experiences. He emerged from the same vibrant ecosystem of musicians that spawned influential acts like Flying Lotus and The Gaslamp Killer, carving out his own niche within the Brainfeeder label and the wider Low End Theory community that thrived in LA during the late 2000s and early 2010s.

Teebs' debut album, "Ardour," released in 2010, was a seminal work that introduced his distinctive approach to beat-making, fusing ethereal atmospheres with delicate percussion. The album was celebrated upon its release and has since been recognized as a milestone in the genre. Celebrating a decade of influential soundscapes, Teebs released "Ardour (10th Anniversary Edition)" in 2020, offering both a remastered version of the original work and a fresh look at its enduring legacy. Subsequent projects like "Collections 01," "E s t a r a," and "Anicca" have further defined his artistry, showcasing his growth and exploration into intricate sonic realms. His works, including singles like "Did It Again" and contributions to compilates like "LA Series 6," have solidified Teebs as a staple figure in the avant-garde music scene, revered for his ability to intertwine the visual with the audible, creating an immersive experience that transcends traditional musical boundaries.
