Team9
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Team9 is the work of English-Australian producer Neil Mason.
team9 formed in 1997 as a five piece band and released two albums, 'Gas and Air' in 1999 and 'My Tape Machine' in 2002. Originally playing guitar based pop, by 2002 team9 were incorporating samples, loops and synths into their production. Having slowly devolved over three years into a one man outfit, team9 played in the web based bootleg scene for a number of years before getting more involved in late 2004. Throughout 2005 team9 featured on Live 105 and Indie 103 in the US, Qui FM and NRJ in France, Radio 1 and the Remix and Rinse shows on XFM in the UK . They have also had tracks featured in magazines such as Blender, Spin, NME, Zoo and GQ.
[edit] American Edit
2005 finished with team9 collaborating on a Green Day mash up album titled 'American Edit by Dean Gray', with San Francisco's Party Ben. Within 10 days Warner Music sent Party Ben and team9 a cease and desist order, whereupon the album was removed from the American Edit site. The resulting media coverage from MTV, NME, NBC and the blogosphere spawned a protest day dubbed 'Dean Gray Tuesday'.
