Australian firebrand Gumm returns to TAU with his first full EP. Gumm arrived on Planet TAU with ‘Heroes Call’ on Spektrum 4 in 2023, and it’s great to have him back. The Melbourne-based artist has been building a solid rep with releases on Buttress, Bordello A Parigi, Midnight Operators and Ombra International in recent years. His sound is perfectly aligned with TAU’s ethos,
blending house influences with future-retro funk and melodic elements. On Don’t DJ, he delivers two original cuts, accompanied by a remix from Sam Shure.

‘Don’t DJ’ sets things off with cantankerous drums ushering in a swirl of spinetingling sounds, increasing with intensity as the intro progresses. When the track hits its stride, we get a Brazilian-sounding vocal which provides the main motif, as the low end pumps and Gumm builds the energy. A breakdown takes us into the main body of the track with a funked up bassline and high
energy, laser-esque FX. The main breakdown warps and stutters the vocal to great effect, leading into a frenetic final chapter full of vigour.

Next up is ‘Shuffer’, a dark brooding cut with a menacing b-line. The percussion is tight with a hint of groove permeating throughout. Gumm pumps up the low end when the track gets rolling, a jaunty melody complements the bass and a repeated vocal clip enters the fray, adding a hypnotic element. Gumm skillfully shifts the arrangement, playing with the energy until we hit a
breakdown, which unleashes the track’s full force. Epic.

Finally, Sam Shure steps in to remix ‘Don’t DJ’, adding his sonic fingerprint to the release. His interpretation utilises a groovy bassline with razor sharp beats, interspersed with the catchy vocal throughout. Sam employs the vocal for key energetic bursts, and transitions, leading us into a powerful breakdown. In the second part of the track we enter full on party mode, with the bass, beats and vocals coalescing to give us a large dose of high-energy vibes.

TAU proudly welcomes a couple of highly talented artists to the label - Fel C & Cafius. The duo have combined their respective musical skills to create the double-header Don’t Stop EP. Cafius is an experienced drummer, so you know the beats are going to be on point, while Fel C has firm grounding in music theory and history. Together they merge formal training, multi-instrumental experience and, most importantly, a deep love for the dance floor, as demonstrated on releases for Diynamic and Sincopat. Now they join TAU with two fresh cuts that showcase their innate talents…

The title track comes in punchy and uptempo with the beats full of propulsive energy. A melodic low end flows neatly under the beats, while a male vocal spits a rhyme in the lead breakdown before the track really gets pumping. When it’s unleashed, the energy is infectious with the drums, bass and melodic elements combining explosively. The progression is masterful, as a variety of layers are added to keep the cut lively and vibrant, without overcooking it. As the main vocal says, “You cannot f*** with this energy!”.

On the flip, Cafius & Fel C take us a little deeper with the aptly-named ‘Digital Satisfaction’. Again, their use of layering and arrangement is essential to this track’s intricate and impactful nature. Wonderfully uplifting melodies work in harmony, while the funky bassline and crisp beats keep you moving. The main vocal evokes a feeling of familiarity, and the breakdown provides a perfect moment of euphoria and energetic release. Time to gather up your friends and dance like there’s no tomorrow!

Time to welcome the return of Echonomist to TAU, as the prolific Greek producer comes through with a four track selection from his audio lab. Echonomist exudes versatility, with a discography that includes a wide range of styles, demonstrating his ability to explore different genres with confidence and flair. His last appearance on TAU was a collab with the label heads Adana Twins which hit No.1 in the Beatport Indie Dance chart. He’s also recently been releasing with Innervisions, as well as Kompakt. Echonomist has honed his sound, striking a delicate balance between emotion and rhythm, injecting authentic feeling into unadulterated dance floor moments...

The EP kicks off with the title track, ‘Get Closer’, a cut that features a heavy-hitting drum arrangement which sounds organic - like a live drum kit. A minute into the track and a heartwarming melody floats in, Echonomist adding layers of synth to increase the deep feeling. With the hefty beats, it’s a highly effective combination that is sure to rouse dance floors into wild abandon when the clubs open up...

Next up is ‘Pothos’ (featuring Mr. Lookman on the guitar), another cut that merges a live band feel with electronic influences. The extended intro feels like a live on stage jam with guitarists and drummers hyping up the crowd. At just over 2 minutes 30, Echonomist introduces vintage synths, which take us back in time a few decades. As the track progresses, his playful approach produces electrifying moments of tension and release that make this one a special cut indeed.

Then we have two versions of ‘Death Goes To Disco’ (featuring Phunkadelica) to close the EP. The first mix works off a classic disco rhythm, hypnotic, almost narcotic in its spellbinding effect. A gentle build up guides us into the main body of the cut, with a retro style robotic vocal and subtle flourishes of sound to embellish the disco foundation. Giorgio Moroder would be proud.

Lastly, the second version of ‘Death Goes To Disco’ brings us to the end. The ‘Phunkadelica Acid I Love You Mix’ adds a squelchy acid lick to the cut, with high energy drops, booming drums and retaining the dramatic atmosphere of the original. An awesome accompaniment to the original, for those who love a slice of TR-303 (who doesn’t?!).

Time for a family collaboration as Adana Twins link up with TAU mainstay Darlyn Vlys for a three-track excursion into a Distant Dream. Label heads Benjamin and Friso combine their creative talent with Darlyn’s similarly fertile mind, creating three tracks that embody the label’s diverse output. There are elements of techno, disco, electro and house present throughout this release, with an overall sonic aesthetic that is utterly captivating and fully representative of the TAU sound.

‘Distant Dream’ sets the tone with Krakow Loves Adana on vocals. Disco-esque beats and bass provide the backbone to this mesmerising cut, with Krakow’s voice peppering the intro. Once the track gets going, we’re treated to emotive songwriting alongside equally stirring arrange- ment. In particular, the main motif is sure to provoke an emotional charge on the dance floor. Beautifully composed.

Up next is ‘Phase One’, which kicks off with a minimal intro, building into pulsating rhythm and punchy beats. This driving cut engulfs you in its layers of alluring synth, as Adana Twins and Darlyn utilize the power of tension, along with a trusty modulated acid line. As the track progresses, it’s all encompassing energy will whisk you away into another dimension. Hold on to your hats for the huge breakdown...

Lastly, ‘Starwave’ features an oscillating b-line that will lock you into its grip straight away. Here, the progression is steady, with soothing pads washing over the low end and a heartrending melody providing the centerpiece of this moving composition. The Twins and Darlyn switch things up midway through, introducing an ominous synth line, before the breakdown guides us into the wondrous second half. A spellbinding end to this superb EP...

Here’s a mega collaboration for the latest TAU release - Label heads Adana Twins team up with one of TAU’s core family members, Upercent for the Falling EP.

A formidable producer with a unique sonic identity, his link up with Adana Twins marks a big step for the label and Upercent himself.
This two-track release is full of future-retro flavor, epitomizing TAU’s highly influential sound and demonstrating the power of collaboration…

Lastly, ‘Dentata’ closes out the EP in darkside fashion. A morose low end lures us into the main body of the track, with its twisted percussive layers and a laser beam-sounding melody that will have the dance floor transfixed.

TAU label heads Adana Twins are accomplished German tastemakers. Their cultured sounds often delve into deep,
dark, emotionally-charged territory whether rooted in house, tech or nuanced retrofuturism. Their music has come on the likes of Afterlife, Diynamic and Watergate while they are long-time favourites on the global underground club and festival circuit who play everywhere from Ibiza to Tokyo via New York and Brazil. For this one, they collaborate with TAU label artist Upercent, an unorthodox talent known for experimentation and avant-garde soundtracks on top imprints like Innervisions and Kompakt.

Their brilliantly moody 'Darkness' has infectious broken beats and kicks with a smoky and soulful vocal whisper next to silky synth loops. The bassline is raw and menacing down low as the track unfolds, and emotion builds to an explosive peak that will get hands in the air.

Vital veteran, Applied Magic label founder and Berlin-based talent Aera has more than two decades' worth of experience crafting inspired tracks for some of the scene's finest labels. Here, he flips 'Darkness' into an eerie and stripped-back minimal cut with a rumbling low end and haunting synth patterns that bring a twisted edge to rousing vocals.

The EP gets up and running with ‘Feel’. A hypnotically oscillating low end is propelled by crisp beats and the repeated “Feel” female vocal clip.
Energy builds steadily as that track progresses, with a nineties sounding breakdown - as the bassline comes back in, the stab-driven melody
continues, followed by a siren-esque alert. This serves to elevate the energy and create a track that is already lifting the roof off dance floors
worldwide.

01 Adana Twins, Hardt Antoine - Feel

‘Forget’ follows up next, with a more lowdown tone. A darker vibe brings with it a morose bassline, sorrowful layers and a melancholy melody.
The warped vocal, while harmonious, also complements the grey hues of this cut. Percussion-wise, the beats are pumping and are bound to get the dancing crew moving. The breakdown adds some brightness to this composition, before we head back into the gloomier atmospherics.

@adanatwins @hardtantoine

02 Adana Twins, Hardt Antoine - Forget

Finally, ‘Crazy’ also utilises a moodier low end than the opening track. Pitched up vocals evoke a feeling of the past, while the overall production quality and atmosphere is very much of the future. Melodic elements add a strange allure, and the whole thing emits a feeling of mystery and suspense. Brace yourself for an almighty breakdown that will send you into a frenzy. Crazy indeed…

@adanatwins @hardtantoine

03 Adana Twins, Hardt Antoine - Crazy

‘Release’ epitomises the combined experience of these two talents, with crisp sound design throughout. An undulating bassline lures us into the mesmerising atmosphere, with hushed female vocals speaking in French and a repeated ‘Release’ mantra. The tension builds steadily, as all the elements coalesce and complement each other, guiding us into a breakdown. After this point, the track continues in a similar vein, the low end maintaining its hypnotic grip as the seductive vocals drift in and out of the background.

@hunter-game @oostil

01 TAU060 | Hunter Game & Oostil - Release

Denis Horvat steps up to remix ‘Release’, adding a harder edge, and more pump, to the energetic imprint. Horvat’s signature sound gives this its distinct vibe, utilising an array of unusual effects to send your brain into another dimension. The warped composition makes this a headtrip in itself. Denis’ considered approach creates moments where the energy plateaus a little, allowing the tension to build… Steel yourself for an extended breakdown, which explodes into a high-energy finale, where the push and pull culminates in a powerful climax.

This is followed up by ‘I Run’. A pulsating analogue-esque rhythm sets off the low end, joined by a classic sounding piano riff and vintage claps. A swathe of synth sweeps across the top end adding a dramatic element to this catchy and immersive cut. Kadosh manages to strike that delicate balance between nodding to the past while upholding the sound of today. A short breakdown halfway through pumps the track with increased energy while those sweeping synth lines transport you to another dimension. Emotive, captivating and dance inducing vibes from start to end.

@kadoshofficial @joplynberlin

02 TAU061- Kadosh - I Run

First up is the title track, featuring vocalist Joplyn. A sultry groove sets things off, with Joplyn’s equally sensual voice uttering “I wanna be felt, not touched”. The lyrics are all about having deeper intentions when it comes to connecting. Kadosh builds the atmosphere steadily, increasing the energy until we reach a breakdown. His sound design incorporates a range of unusual percussive elements and effects. After the break, Joplyn’s full vocal comes into play, accompanied by a naughty acid line. Mesmerisingly sexy…

HAMBURG HEAVYWEIGHTS, ADANA TWINS ANNOUNCE THE LAUNCH OF THEIR NEW LABEL, TAU. WITH A FREE ORIGINAL ADANA TWINS TRACK TO CELEBRATE THE START OF A NEW ERA FOR THE PAIR. 

As longstanding purveyors of their unique brand of house and techno, prime Hamburg exports, Adana Twins announce the launch of their own label, TAU. Having risen through the ranks since the pairs inception back in 2006, Adana Twins have seen soaring success. Working up heat on the DJ circuit before hitting the big time in 2012, with hits ‘Everyday’ and ‘Strange’, they have since worked with the most notable brands, labels and bodies in the industry. Last year, the duo achieved an all-time high, signing to notorious Berlin institution-come-label, Watergate. 2018 has already proven to be a fruitful one with the release of their ‘Jupiter’ EP on Watergate. Despite this, it seems the well-known unwavering tenacity of Adana Twins is undying, establishing themselves as true connoisseurs of their craft, heading up their very own imprint, TAU.

To celebrate their new venture, Adana Twins have produced an original track to be released as a free download via the TAU Soundcloud. New track, ‘Frozen’, features Brazilian experimental-dance music duo, Digitaria. Much alike the Adana Twins, Digitaria have spent their own fair amount of time crafting their sound, playing as part of a four-piece band since 2004. They now create music without rules, pushing the boundaries of what dance music can be. This teaming up of restless musical minds, clearly manifests in the track itself. The signature elements of the Adana Twins sound are presented in powerful kicks and pulsing hi-hats. Eerie vocals serenade amid swirling melodic bells and roaring sirens, building to a spin-tingling crescendo that sees all elements break loose in a pulsating frenzy. Whilst also receiving major support from Techno Heavyweights Tale Of Us throughout the last few months. 
 
The collaboration with Digitaria on ‘Frozen’ paves the way for the overall ethos of new label, TAU; seeking to bring up-and-coming talent to the fore. Having been instrumental in securing their home city of Hamburg’s position on the electronic music landscape, Adana Twins stay very humble in their hopes for TAU; seeking to create a platform for new talent alongside other music they believe in. In true Adana Twins style, they already have two releases in the pipeline, TAU001 and TAU002.

Inaugural release, TAU001, comes from a rising German duo by the name of Innellea is set to drop 31st August. Delivering a unique style of tribal infused techno, Innellea are believed to be one of the up-and-coming talents in the scene at present. TAU002, comes from yet another exciting new talent, BOg. Hailing from Romania, currently based in Paris, BOg first broke onto the scene after being signed to John Digweed’s ‘Bedrock Records’. Over the past 12-years, he has become affiliated with the likes of Solomun and Dixon, releasing on both respective artists own imprints Diynamic and Innervisions; speaking volumes for what can be expected from BOg’s debut EP on TAU.

TAU001 will be released on 31st August 2018 !
