Riot of Colors designed and developed a new digital home for TEK of Smif-N-Wessun, built to reflect more than three decades of music, culture, and Brooklyn history.
The experience brings together his biography, full discography, news, events, and merchandise within a bold editorial system inspired by the culture.
Oversized typography, irregular grids, layered photography, parallax, and cinematic video give the site energy without overwhelming the content.
Built as a custom Gutenberg WordPress experience, the site includes a flexible content dashboard, dynamic release management, an expandable book feature, and a fixed multi-track audio player with drag-and-drop uploads, metadata parsing, album-art lookup, and playlist controls.
Using GSAP, Three.js, and the Web Audio API, the whole interface responds to the music in real time, shifting typography, particles, quotes, visual signals, and footer elements to the beat. It’s dope.
