Spryk is the electronic music & art exploration of Mumbai based Tejas Nair. Whether its immersive art installations, awe-inspiring Audio Visual Live performances, ambisonic sound for VR & video games, or
club-ready releases, Spryk’s work is a classic case of electronic exploration that makes use of available technology while referencing that which came before it and does so in a sincerely human way.
His latest offering, a 7 track studio album titled APEX is the result of a commission from the coveted Magnetic Fields Festival, asking Spryk to explore the relationship between Music, Technology & Humanity.
The results of which debuted as a magnificent live Audio Visual performance at the festival in December of 2019 & went on to premiere as part of the Boiler Room ‘Streaming from Isolation’ series. The show was rated as one of the top 5 key performances at the festival by Resident Advisor & Rolling Stone & is slated to tour India in March 2021.
At the core, Spryk as a project and Tejas as a musician, DJ, curator and an interdisciplinary artist focuses on provoking a greater understanding of thought, action & interaction. This idea is pushed to new depths on his forthcoming second studio album. Over the past few years, his work has been endorsed and supported by the likes of Red Bull Music as a key artist in the region and Sennheiser Audio as a partner for their immersive audio line of products titled AMBEO.
‘APEX’ is due for release in the latter half of 2020 via his own imprint Skip-A-Beat, which was launched late 2018 to release his debut album ‘Strange Movements’. The label found its roots in his online radio show that unearths the lesser-known plethora of electronic music talent across the Indian Sub Continent. The label is currently co-producing the Selector Pro - Visual Music Residency in collaboration with the British Council.
Beyond this, Spryk’s interests remain varied. He runs Press Play Studio, a successful Audio Production house in his home city of Mumbai, works on building Eyemyth New Media Arts Festival in Mumbai & a grassroots music festival in Chennai called Madras Medai, both focusing on shaping new culture movements & building communities.
