Artist of the Month: Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs


With gigs coming up all around the world this summer, a mainstay of festivals the country and world over, it has become clear that TEED has become one of the leading figures in dance music, beloved by indie kids and EDM-heads alike. Blurring genres more successfully than most other electronic music artists can dream of, TEED’s infectious mix of house, garage, techno and indie is sure to be the sound of summer 2013.

The producer and DJ’s real name is Orlando Higginbottom, a name which probably had some influence on the eccentricity which now guides the artist’s eclectic, highly individual production and onstage persona – the immaculately made dinosaur-themed wardrobe he flaunts in performances alone  is worth the admission price. With dancers dressed as dinos and unfalteringly brilliant visuals and live shows, TEED has earned our stamp of approval.

As well as producing a hugely successful 2012 album, Trouble, TEED has remixed tracks by the likes of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Professor Green. He also features regularly on both Annie Mac's and Nick Grimshaw's Radio 1 shows.

‘Household Goods’, ‘Garden’ and ‘Your Love’ are amongst the most overplayed and remixed tracks of indie-dance anthems, soundtracking more hip club nights and TV and radio shows and commercials than we can keep count of. I can’t wait for the next TEED release to undergo the now-customary leak into every corner of pop culture and infect our lives with TEED’s unique and euphoric dino-dance sound.

Remember this track? Of course you do.
