The Pro-Teens are Melbourne's enigmatic anonymous instrumental group, coming from the College Of Knowledge's roster of low-slung cinematic soul grous.

The Pro-Teens pay tribute to the late great MF DOOM, reimagining two iconic cuts from the deep catalogue of the infamous Metal Fingered Villain, ahead of a full-length LP of MF DOOM covers (forthcoming 2022).

Peachfuzz, an early triumph from the days before Daniel Dumile donned the mask and called himself MF DOOM, comes from KMD's first album Mr Hood. The Pro-Teens take on the uptempo marimba-laced funk of the original beat that DOOM produced under his original moniker MC Zev Love X, paying respect to the early years of DOOM's career.

One Beer, a standout track from MF DOOM's MM..FOOD album, finds the Teens diving deep into the tracks sample, French group Cortex's Huit Octobre 1971. Constructed around the beat's iconic chorus, voiced by drummer / bandleader Libby Clique-baité, One Beer subversively transforms the original track's main groove into an eerie landscape of fuzzed out guitar and harsh synthesizer tones.
