Texas Downtemple

Texas Downtemple is the project of bassist, producer and DJ Daniel Byrd. His musical path runs from marching-band tuba and playing in bands to hip-hop DJing, then trip-hop and dub. A formative encounter with a chill room in 1992 helped shape his interest in downtempo, and he began producing original tracks in 2000. Byrd has also released music as djbigbyrd, callehs and Marzipan Tiger, bringing instrumental experience and audio-engineering skills to his electronic work.
