 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 album’s 10th Anniversary with a special edition reissue of this landmark record. Pressed on ‘deep pink’ 2LP in artworked inners 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’, 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.”
