01 The Artist

Spryk is the electronic music and media art practice of Mumbai-based Tejas Nair, recognised as one of India's leading electronic musicians and emerging media artists. Working across immersive performance, digital art, and cultural production, his practice brings together electronic music, cinematic storytelling, speculative visuals, and technology-driven forms of live experience.

Over the past decade, Spryk has developed a body of work spanning large-scale audio-visual performances, immersive installations, experimental club music, and interdisciplinary collaborations.

Alongside his artistic practice, he has played a significant role in shaping India's independent media arts ecosystem as curator and producer of EyeMyth Media Arts Festival, while also curating and leading major initiatives such as Absolut Creative Commune and Red Bull Premiers, which have spotlighted emerging and independent voices across the country.

02 Milestone — 2019

APEX

MAGNETIC FIELDS FESTIVAL — BOILER ROOM X WILD CITY — RESIDENT ADVISOR — ROLLING STONE

A major early milestone in his career was APEX, an audio-visual performance commissioned by Magnetic Fields Festival in 2019. The project explored the complex relationship between humanity and technology, premiered online through Boiler Room x Wild City in 2020, and was recognised among the festival's key performances by Resident Advisor and Rolling Stone before continuing its journey through club and live showcases in the region.

03 Live — 2025

Lollapalooza India

MAHALAXMI RACE COURSE, MUMBAI — 7 INDIAN LANGUAGES

In 2025, Spryk delivered a landmark live audio-visual set at Lollapalooza India, unveiling an expanded performance language that fused electronic music with Bollywood-inspired drama and cinematic scale.

As a producer on the festival, he collaborated with some of India's leading independent voices to deploy a multilingual performance across 7 Indian languages, creating a large-scale, inclusive sonic experience that brought together diverse regional traditions within a contemporary electronic framework.

04 Speculative Performance

Neural Natak

BRITISH COUNCIL, BENGALURU 2025 — CHENNAI 2026 — G5A, MUMBAI 2026

That evolution continued with Neural Natak, a speculative audio-visual performance that imagines neural networks as practitioners of "technomagic." Built through electronic music, generative AI visuals, remixed archives, and references to Indian street magic and ritual theatre, the work premiered at the British Council's Creative Convergence in Bengaluru in late 2025.

It expanded to Chennai in early 2026, and was later showcased in Mumbai in 2026 through Imaginative Intelligences with G5A.

05 International — 2026

WAVY RGB

FLOATING POINT STUDIO, SWITZERLAND — MAPPING FESTIVAL, GENEVA

In 2026, Spryk also expanded his international practice through WAVY RGB, a collaboration with Switzerland's Floating Point Studio presented at Mapping Festival in Geneva.

Conceived as an evolving interactive audio-visual experience, the project extended his work into spatial and cross-border collaboration, reinforcing his position within a growing international conversation around immersive and experimental media art.

06 The Label

Skip-a-Beat

His label, Skip-a-Beat, originally started as an online radio show covering the underground and emerging electronic music landscape across India. Over the years it has evolved into a platform for curating cutting-edge projects and music premieres, including collaborations with Red Bull Music.

The label has spearheaded impactful initiatives such as the Music Activism Protest with Goethe-Institut, and partnered with MuSo (Museum of Solutions) to curate the Long Night at the Museum — a series blending live music, electronic performances, and interactive experiences. Skip-a-Beat is committed to fostering creative communities and shaping new cultural narratives.

07 Curatorial Practice

Through EyeMyth and adjacent initiatives — including Absolut Creative Commune and Red Bull Premiers — he has helped build a wider ecosystem for emerging and independent voices in Indian media art, extending his impact beyond the stage into curation and cultural production.
