So What Is Reef Project Anyway?

by Thee-O on March 20, 2010

Hello there,

My name is Jacob Ofilas. I DJ under the name Thee-O. You can find out more about that on my other site Thee-O.com. This site is dedicated to my downtempo, ambient and chill out alter ego, Reef Project.

Reef Project came about before I even set up my first studio. It was about 10 years ago when I first started buying gear when I had this notion to merge two of my passions together, aquariums and chilled out music. I have been a fan of ambient and downtempo for a long time and I was also a avid aquarium owner. I had this beautiful reef tank set up in my living room and I could just stare at it for hours, relaxing while listening to some music. My first goal in the studio was to start writing music with that feeling and that is what I did. My first Reef Project release came out in 2001 and is called “Star”. The second release was called “Deep End” and came out a year later. Both of these were very limited and only 1000 of each release came out on CD. I started doing a few digital releases that led up to 2008’s “Hydro Dynamic” that came out on System Recordings.

I am currently in the studio working on a new album as I type this. The new album is called “Adrift” and is also going to be released on System this year. There will also be two EP’s of older Reef Project tracks being re-released on Looq Records this year as well.  There are also a few Reef Project remix projects I am working on as well.

Also as a way to give back, a percentage of any profits that I make from Reef Project go back to organizations that help to maintain the natural reefs in our oceans. The reefs are some of the oldest living organisms on the planet and need to be protected.

So sit back, chill out and let the music take over you.
