A producer and DJ from Nice with deep Congolese roots, TellaX has spent nearly a decade crafting a sound that fuses hip-hop battle culture with electronic music. His beats command movement, reverberating through break battles, underground clubs, and sound systems from France to Switzerland to the U.S. On Thursday, March 27, you can add Bucharest to the list when TellaX joins Control Club x ICHIGO presents: Roger Rabbit, the series dedicated to the local dance community.
Growing up in a city of contrasts, where sunlit luxury meets street gospel, TellaX absorbed these dual influences. His music carries the dexterity of Congolese rhythms, the grit of boom-bap, and the unpredictability of experimentation. Since 2015, he has steadily built on this reputation, one release at a time. His breakout projects, 14:14 Hours, Madness, and For 6ix Diff 2 (Squidrage Edition), reshaped the hip-hop battle scene, setting new standards for intensity and complexity.
With FOR 6IX DIFF (2024), he delivered a 15-track manifesto. Tracks like Garibaldi and Surff Smurff (Massena) showcased his innate talent for tension and release. In July 2024, he followed up with For 6ix Diff 2 (Squidrage Edition), a high-energy sequel. By early 2025, he released Last Rage, an evolving series with editions like The Squidilicious and Whole Lotta Rage & Za Warudo, pushing his sound into aggressive, club-focused dimensions.
But TellaX isn’t just about the studio. His live performances are like shockwaves. Heavy, immersive, and relentless, whether in a battle arena or a nightclub, he sets the pace with unpredictability.
Major brands like Red Bull and Nike have also tapped into TellaX's vision for sponsorships and creative collaborations. In addition to sound, he also understands cultural movement, bridging music, street culture, and global trends.
As TellaX's reputation grows, so does his ability to push boundaries. His beats lead the charge, demanding physical response and rewiring the expectations. With a relentless work ethic and a vision that refuses to settle, TellaX is setting its future in motion.
