Pendulum was formed in 2002 by three musicians from Western Australia with similar visions and musical backgrounds. Pendulum’s mission has always been to pull together their production resources, ideas and influences from various styles of music, to create a new sound that they felt was missing from dance… music! The individual members behind Pendulum had been active in Perth’s live music scene for several years: producer / vocalist / keyboardist Rob Swire and producer / bassist Gareth McGrillen played together in the acclaimed Perth band Xygen, while Paul ‘El Hornet’ Harding was a veteran of the Perth DJ scene.
For two decades, Calyx & TeeBee have forged an unprecedented path at the forefront of Drum and Bass. They had already amassed an astounding back-catalogue spanning all of the genre’s seminal labels, before they came together to form a duo 15 years ago.
In the years that followed, Calyx & TeeBee reached new heights with chart-topping singles, prestigious awards, a revered BBC Essential Mix and their acclaimed LPs: ‘Anatomy’, ‘All Or Nothing’ and ‘1X1’.
By 2020, Calyx & TeeBee had built up yet another incredible body of work and once again they returned with new beats – and a brand new concept.
The concept? ‘Plates.’ Taking it back to the days of acetate, ‘Plates’ is a series of releases themed around original dub-plate culture, both musically and aesthetically – culminating in an album of the same name.
This has proved to be yet another welcome return from one of the most revered double acts in drum & bass. Having released a spectacular run of individual ‘Plates’ tracks which have garnered huge support across the entire spectrum of DnB’s biggest names, the duo are about to drop the full LP. Enthusing the concept, Calyx & TeeBee say: “Having released 2 albums and countless singles since we joined RAM Records, we’re excited to be nearing the full release of our third LP and we’ve loved switching things up with our ‘Plates’ series. It takes us back to our DnB roots – both musically, and in terms of how the music disseminates to our peers, fans and ravers”.
