Born out of a psychedelic experience, Rotterdam-based artist Talee takes you on a trip into the depths of his imagination. Utilizing his voice, vintage synthesizers, and guitar licks blended with electronic beats, Talee blurs the lines between genres, and forms a repertoire reminiscent of acts like LCD Soundsystem, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, and James Blake.
Making his debut on Berlin-based record label Disco Halal, Talee presented two-track EPs ‘Romantic New Wave Vol 1’ and Vol. 2, under the mentorship of label-head Moscoman, touring the projects at 25+ live shows across the Netherlands. The same genre-bending attitude also shows in his DJ sets. During an his ‘Romantic New Wave’ show on Rotterdam’s infamous Operator Radio you might hear him mix the latest Tame Impala into an old R&S record and mix back to an ecstatic club vibe within minutes. Under the same banner he hosts his own club nights in the most beloved indie club in town; Rotown – kicking off on April 19th as part of MOMO Festival.
The artist shows a more delicate side in 2023 releasing his ambient EP ‘My Mother Was A Synthesizer’ on GRAMMY-nominated trio Above & Beyond’s third imprint Reflections and sister label to Anjunadeep, exploring themes within family relationships.
Talee returns to Disco Halal in March 2024 with his latest 4 track EP ‘Waiting For Tommorow’. This release marks his first physical EP and serves as a powerful statement of Talee’s artistic vision, showcasing his unique ‘neo-romantic wave’ songwriting and great capturing riffs. The visual identity of this release mirrors Talee’s artistic creativity with artwork conceptualized by the artist himself, complementing the music and offering a glimpse into Talee’s vibrant inner world.
