When you combine the UK Jazz scene with downtempo deep house, you get berlioz. berlioz is the new alias of producer Ted Jasper, and while he has only released 8 songs under his new alter-ego, it's opened a doorway for his dream-like, soulful electronica genre to flourish.

That special sound has earned him shout outs from Erykah Badu, support from BBCR1, Rinse, NTS, Reprezent and FIP, 4000+ vinyl copies sold, 6 million+ streams per month and a huge following on social media with 394k IG followers and 286k on Tiktok, all whist independent, self-signed and managed.

“if Matisse made house music” When you combine the UK Jazz scene with downtempo deep house, you get berlioz. berlioz is the new alias of producer Ted Jasper, and while he has only released 4 songs under his new alter-ego, it’s opened a doorway for his dream-like, soulful electronica genre to flourish. His clever one-liners make listeners unlock core memories they never knew had, and live in fantasy worlds of past lives. These 10 second snippets of escapism and day-dreaming quotes perfectly describe the feeling his music gives you, and work as a marketing strategy that has helped his music go viral; and even when you listen to the full track, it still leaves us wanting more. Stay tuned for berlioz’s next single “jazz is for ordinary people”

With 8 songs, hundreds of thousands of streams per day, and several hundred thousand followers online, Jasper now has his head down in the studio, preparing to surpass expectations with a full length berlioz album in early 2024.
