By the year of 2021 Takkra has evolved into a 7 piece live band as the core team joined by 3 vocalist: Molek Keri, Julcsi Szomr&aacute;ky and Donna Terra.

Consequently vocals have become more prominent and the live shows turned into real ecstatic medicinal therapy seances.

During our jams the songs have naturally reshaped in terms of arrangements, structures and melodies, the overall vibe has drifted towards a more organic, live sound.

Reactivated was recorded during several live sessions and gigs between 2012 and 2023. 
We felt it is important to share these tunes in their raw, unpolished form that perhaps capture some of the magic of the live Takkra shows.

Recorded and mixed by Mr Dure and David Vigh.

Takkra - Ancient Tongues (Reactivated) - SNIPPET

In 2004, legendary and genre-defining Danish label Iboga Records donned their slippers and smoking jackets, reclined, and cozily launched a new sub-label: Sofa Beats. The idea was to broadcast their previously unprofessed love for the myriad of shades and styles that make up mid-tempo and downtempo electronic music. 

Sofa Beats is run from Copenhagen by the laidback yet discerning A&R Alexander Descroix. The chill out legion of Sofa Beats aficionado is secretly among you in every corner of the world, rhythmically nodding to his headphones, quietly content and in-the-know. 

Sofa Beats abides by their motto: 
A COMFORTABLE MULTIVERSE OF SOUND

Going slow since 2004
