This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Biography

Early Life and Musical Beginnings

Benjamin Smith, known professionally as Templé is musician, DJ and producer from Adelaide, Australia. Smith began his musical journey at the age of 12, playing drums and percussion^[3]. His first band, a punk outfit named "Dead Set," recorded in a professional studio when he was just a pre-teen, sparking his lifelong passion for studio environments and recording technology.

Templé has been involved in various bands spanning multiple genres, including jazz, punk, psych rock, and techno. His last band fused a unique blend of techno sounds with traditional instruments. Over the years, Smith has not only honed his skills as a multi-instrumentalist but also as a DJ and record collector, amassing an impressive collection over 2 decades.

Career

Solo Projects and Releases In 2020, Templé released his breakthrough EP on Black Riot. This collection of tracks, written over a decade, showcased his ability to blend various musical influences and genres. The EP includes notable tracks such as "The Woman with the Pink Lips," a nod to Laurent Garnier’s "The Man with the Red Face"^[4]

Templé's subsequent releases, the "Love Machine EP," was issued by Prins Thomas's Internasjonal. This EP featured final engineering tweaks by Prins Thomas himself and combined deep house with nordic disco. The "Love Machine EP" is praised for its versatility, designed to be equally enjoyable for home listening, as it is functional for DJs.

May 2024 saw Templé's most recent releases called "Who You Are", which was self released through Smith's newly created imprint Templé Musiq. It features Quartz Pistol on vocals and a stunning remix by former label boss Prins Thomas^[5].

Influences Templé's musical influences are diverse, ranging from his childhood electronic inspirations like Enya's "Orinoco Flow" and Michael Jackson's "HISTORY" to later influences including Metro Area, Cobblestone Jazz, and Linkwood. His admiration for artists who blend genres seamlessly is evident in his own music.

Adelaide Electronic Scene Templé has been a part of the Adelaide electronic music scene for many years, drawing inspiration from local legends like HMC (Late Nite Tuff Guy) and artists such as The Carter Bros, SURAHN, Luke Million, and Sia. He also credits his time working at Sugar nightclub and his interactions with influential DJs that played there for shaping his musical tastes.

Studio and Creative Process Templé's studio setup is features a variety of drum machines, mono synths, polysynths, and outboard FX. He works primarily in Ableton for writing and Pro Tools for mixing. Smith emphasises the importance of listening critically and creatively in his production process, advocating for a balance between technical precision and artistic intuition.

Live Show In addition to his recorded work and DJ sets, Templé has built a live show that translates his studio productions into performances with a seven-piece band, complete with a string trio, horns section and keys.
