Based between London and Athens, TEO.x3 is a producer, artist and digital shapeshifter who’s rapidly become a name buzzing across Europe’s underground scenes. His sound flickers between between hyperpop and emotional context, resulting in a catchy and fiercely original sound that struck a chord with listeners around the world. Long before his debut EP turned into a viral hyperpop moment, TEO.x3 had already built an impressive cross-disciplinary catalogue.
His fingerprints are on projects across music, fashion and performance, having collaborated with Tamta, Marina Satti, RuPaul’s Drag Race icon Charity Kase and Eurovision Ireland 2024 contestant Bobbi Arlo, while composing for global fashion houses like Prada, Dsquared2 and Camper. His sound has travelled as far as his passport, from late-night raves at EGG LDN and Dalston Superstore to stages across both sides of the Atlantic where his shows have earned a reputation for being as unpredictable as they are magnetic.
TEO.x3’s debut EP, iDidntMeanToGhostYouButMyWifiCrashedAgain, feels like an artist broadcasting live from the glitch between heartbreak and bandwidth failure. Built on vintage synths, fractured beats and shimmering vocal layers, it captures what it means to feel everything and nothing at once; a generation raised online, pixelating through love, anxiety and nostalgia. “The whole EP comes from noise and the strange ideas that show up when I’m alone with my gear for too long. I wanted people to hear what’s in my DNA,” he shares.
The project’s breakout single titled “sprite” is a hypercharged collaboration with Tamta, one of Europe’s most adventurous pop innovators and fashion icons. The track serves up a glossy pop anthem about emotional self-sabotage which has already exploded online, connecting with tens of thousands of listeners within days of release. Written alongside Christian Cherry and co-produced with JEONNE, “sprite” sounds like heartbreak refracted through a kaleidoscope, it’s shimmering and infectiously catchy from start to finish.
Tamta’s vocal presence supercharges the track’s already intoxicating energy, adding bright melodic leads above the bubble of colourful synths to form an alluring soundscape. Propelled by the intricate shuffle of percussion and dashed with the airy tones of chiming instrumentation, it’s a dazzling outing that’s mesmeric, energising and memorable in equal measure. Wrapped up in exquisite sound design, “sprite” sees TEO.x3 and Tamta serve up a playful and truly enjoyable sound that’s sure to charm new and existing fans alike.
As they continue to impress on their ongoing musical partnership, they’re sure to deliver countless magical musical moments and we can’t wait to see what they’ve got in store for 2026 and beyond. Following the success of “sprite,” TEO.x3 delivered his first full-scale live show at ZED and is now preparing a remixed version of the EP featuring new vocalists and bonus tracks, set to drop early next year.
We caught up with TEO.x3 to find out more about his musical journey so far, his new single “sprite” featuring Tamta and what he’s got lined up for the future. Check out our interview with TEO.x3 and Tamta below.
Hey TEO.x3, how’s things?
TEO.x3: Things are good. I’m in that in-between phase where something just came out into the world and I’m already deep into what’s next. It’s a nice mix of gratitude and restlessness.
What’s your earliest memory of making music?
TEO.x3: I remember sitting with a guitar as a kid, trying to figure out melodies by ear before I knew what I was doing. Even then, it wasn’t about perfection. It was about chasing a feeling.
Which artists do you draw most inspiration from?
TEO.x3: Artists who build worlds, not just songs. People like Björk, BANKS, Charli, Arca and also classic pop that understands drama and melody. I’m drawn to contrast more than genre.
What’s been your highlight of 2025?
TEO.x3: Releasing my debut EP and seeing people actually connect with it. That moment when something personal stops being yours and starts living with other people has been the highlight for sure.
What do you love about the London and Athens music scenes?
TEO.x3: London pushes experimentation and reinvention it’s fast, diverse, and fearless. Athens is more spontaneous, emotional and instinctive. There’s intensity and honesty there. Moving between the two keeps my perspective balanced.
What would you say is the perfect setting for listeners to enjoy your sound?
TEO.x3: Ideally any time of the day with some good headphones.
How did you guys first start collaborating together?
TEO.x3: We’ve known each other for over ten years, and I’ve been producing for Tamta across different moments in her career. The collaboration on “sprite” grew very naturally out of that long-term trust and also after her latest record THE HEROINE where we delved deep into the hyperpop space. We already understood each other creatively, so it wasn’t about figuring things out, it was about pushing further.
Tamta: We’ve known each other for a long time, so there’s a deep sense of trust. Working with Teo has always felt intuitive, and over the years that understanding has only grown. “sprite” came from that shared history and the freedom we have when we create together.
How do you feel the ongoing partnership with TEO.x3 has influenced your sound?
Tamta: Working with Teo has pushed me to be more playful and experimental. His approach encourages freedom, trusting instinct, texture, and emotion without overthinking.
What does “sprite” mean to you personally?
Tamta: To me, “sprite” represents that sweet, shiny surface we sometimes hide behind. It’s playful and energetic, but there’s awareness underneath…
How did you find making your debut EP?
TEO.x3: It was intense but liberating. Working with Christian Cherry, my co-writer, was extremely creative and fun. We worked on this record without a “plan” just enjoying making music, honestly. I stopped trying to explain myself and just let the project exist as it wanted to. That freedom was scary, but it made the EP feel honest.
What’s the main thing you want people to get out of listening to your music?
TEO.x3: Permission to feel too much, to be dramatic, to be contradictory. If someone feels seen or less alone, that’s enough for me.
What’s been your favourite live performance so far?
TEO.x3: London shows always stand out. There’s a curiosity and openness from the crowd that makes taking risks feel safe. Also playing in SMUT in Athens for Tamta’s shows will always hold a soft spot in me.
Who would be 3 artists to headline your dream festival? And where would it be?
TEO.x3: Bjork, Arca and Gessafelstein — somewhere between a club and an art space, ideally not too far from the sea.
Tamta: I’m thinking rather of an iconic concert rather than a festival: Raye-at the odeon of herodes atticus
Do you have any advice for a new artist wanting to follow your footsteps?
TEO.x3: Don’t wait for permission. Trust your taste, even when it feels confusing. And allow yourself time to evolve.
Finally, what do you have lined up next?
TEO.x3: More music, more collaborations, and pushing this project further live. This is just the beginning.
