# RISING – TEAMS
Though still fairly new, LA's **Sean Bowie** has been generating massive
interest around blogs since he started dropping tracks as **TEAMS** in
early 2010. It's no wonder, as his sound is a distilled amalgamation of
everything blog-friendly in the last few years: catchy, beach-friendly,
lo-fi jams, music videos heavy with '90s web animations and skewed pop
culture, and an unswerving eye for perfect collaboration. Just listen to
the beautiful album he did with **Star Slinger**, or watch his
psychedelic video with **Ra Cailum**, the aptly-titled 'Seven Daze A
Weed'. Most startling, however, is a track entitled 'Feel', featuring
none other than **Rihanna**. Whether this is an actual collab or just a
sample is one of those sweet mysteries that make life so horny.
So what separates this dude from similar acts with a love for raw
production, instrumentals and getting split on green? It's not
necessarily easy to define, but listening to his tracks you can sense a
darker side lurking below the pop appeal, reminiscent of okkvlt-club
pioneers like **Pictureplane** and **Teengirl Fantasy**. Others seem to
think so as well, which may be why he's touring across the US with
dragged&drugged symbolist **Zombelle** and the infamous **DISARO**.
Fog doesn't stand a chance against Bowie's blissed-out beats.
With several releases under his belt as well as his debut LP *Dxys Xff*
set to drop on **Amdiscs** today, it's clear this kid knows what he's
doing. All he needs is a push and he could make 2011 his.
