James Teej

Evening Harvest


Listen/ Buy at Beatport


Although he's only really made a name for himself in Europe over the past couple of years, Teej has been active in the Canadian scene since the mid-'90s, setting up his own short-lived Reflection Records label and DJing across the country. In the middle of the last decade, Teej made the move to Toronto and continued to DJ and work on tracks, before finally launching his production career properly with tracks on labels like Connect Four and Rebirth.  Matt Edwards and James Masters were impressed by his quirky tech-house style, and invited him to remix Toby Tobias' "In Your Eyes" before offering him an album deal. The resulting work goes by the name of Evening Harvest, and showcases various facets of Teej's sound, including jazzy piano house and moodier low-slung tracks. All ten tracks have been previously unreleased, and the album even includes a collaboration with French multi-instrumentalists dOP.
