Our Ukrainian brother AIKON returns for a four-track excursion into the future of the past (or is it the past of the future?). Embodying the time- less ethos of TAU’s core sound, this EP is a surefire winner. AIKON has been a busy bee lately, with releases on Diynamic, Renaissance, Exploit- ed and Multinotes, among others. It’s great to have him back with us here at TAU, we’re sure you’re going to bop your head to this all through summer and beyond...

The EP gets grooving with its title track, ‘Energy Control’. At the low end there’s a gentle hum, nudged along by punchy beats. Acid flecks reverberate in the background, while a repetitive vocal clip gives the cut its enchanting character. Get ready for the extended breakdown, leading into a bombastic second half with a highly emotive riff designed to give you goosebumps.

Up next is ‘Come Together’, which utilizes organic sounding percussion alongside a muted b-line. The vocal tells us “It’s time to come together” repeatedly, as if urging us to embrace unity... Layers of urgent melody are added, giving the track a dramatic quality. AIKON allows us some time for a breather, before heading into the latter part of the track for more strutting on the dance floor.

‘Rattles’ follows up, opening with a deep bass rhythm. The atmosphere is tense and a little unsettling, with layers of percussion adding to the track’s dynamic nature. An emotionally-charged breakdown showcases AIKON’s musicality, before we dive back into the depths of the low end.

Lastly, ‘Space Adventure’ takes us on a cosmic head trip. After a pensive start, we encounter a funkafied bassline which is complemented by a bright sparkling melody, which evokes the feeling of a shuttle docking with a space station while orbiting a distant planet. The progression and sonic narrative on this cut are perfectly matched with the title, AIKON guiding us through space with his impeccable composition...

Come Together

After two years, another milestone has been reached with the third various artists release on the label. Again, we are very delighted that we were able to compile a pack which for us hit the right compilation of abstract elements, dark grooves, melancholy and beautiful tracks. We are celebrating this milestone together with a combination of artists who are new on the label and artists who are returning. We are very happy to announce that Several Definitions, Nick Jojo, Martín Dubiansky, Tonco and Remains Of Silence will debut and that Stoac, MUNSE, Paul Roux, Rowdy and Altman came back once again. 

The VA starts off with ‘Interlude’ by Several Definitions, which hits all the boxes with its overwhelming melody, abstract percussion and original arrangement. Stoac is the one who follows with his track ‘Subtle Art’. This one is a real builder. Everything comes together towards the end of the track, generating an unforgettable moment. Next up is MUNSE with ‘Memorial’, which has his signature theatral sound. Firm kicks and basslines are combined with impressive classical symphonies and unexpected twists. 

‘Horizon’ by Nick Jojo is the fourth track of the collection. With its trancy atmosphere and driving low-end, it is a real pacesetter and euphoric dancefloor track. After this the vibe gets switched a bit with ‘Himalaya’ by Paul Roux. Again, Paul shows what he can do best, creating compelling and dreamy arrangements accompanied by more fast-pace kicks and percussion. Martín Dubiansky managed to create the most abstract track of the VA, which is titled ‘Cello And Thoughts’. This one is the representation of an ordered chaos, which has performed perfectly by Martín. 

Tonco’s ‘Solid Ground’ is another one for the dancefloor. It has a unique focus on its background elements, through which the main lead comes to the forefront, generating an uplifting energy. ‘Voices In My Head’ is the conceptual track of the VA. The full arrangement is built around a narrative voice with underlaying rhythmic percussion and hypnotic synthwork. 

Rowdy sets the dark tone through with ‘Precedent’. The complex use of synths is what makes this track special. Combined with its authentic percussion, another signature Rowdy track has been emerged. The ideal closing of the VA is ‘Eternity’ by Altman. Using a lot of home recorded and organic samples, he managed to create an intriguing and emotional composition, which will definitely makes you forget time.
