Intercept Mix Series 07 is by @Talik1.

This Spring, Intercept proudly welcomes debutant Talik for a first EP that makes an immediate impression. Cold Silver features four tracks of rhythmically inventive electronic music with a wide sphere of reference.

In this mix series, she introduces us to the music that influences her sound.

Her EP "Cold Silver" will be out on April 9th.

Intercept Mix Series 07 - Talik

Metallic structures towered high above the rest of the city, their appearance ominous and menacing. Who resided in these buildings, nobody knew. No signage emblazoned the entrances, and only on rare occasions were people seen arriving or leaving. They weren't offices or homes, they weren't schools or charities, their purpose was unknown, their story untold — an unsettling mystery that remained unsolved.

Next up on Coloray's Intercept Records comes the debut outing from UK producer Charlotte Denham AKA Talik. Influenced by her time spent living in Berlin, Hackney and Brighton, the four tracks across 'Cold Silver' showcase her ability to play with texture, rhythm and tension — crafting music for the body and the mind and finding comfort in the spaces between light and dark.

MARTHA W/ TALIK 081021

Emerging London-based producer Talik delivers a mediative mix for podcast 93, giving us an insight into some of her key influences. 

Talik’s first step into music production was only last year, seizing the opportunity of being mentored by Martyn via his 3024 Patreon programme when it was first launched. From the get-go, it has seemed like a natural step for Talik who has taken it in her stride and already been clocking up releases for Pressure Dome, Intercept Records and 3024 as well as being supported by DJ Mag, Mary Anne Hobbs, Martha, Crack Mag, NME and more. Her debut EP for Intercept, ‘Cold Silver’, was released around a year ago to this date and today comes full circle with Martyn stepping up for, an aptly named, time freeze remix of the title track. 

The mix is reflective of Talik’s production output so far which is often centred around natural textures. From the floaty, dreamlike melodies on the ‘Let It Break’ EP to the beautiful tension between light and dark on ‘Cold Silver’ and the introspective, percussive driven single ‘Sound Of Your Shadow’, Talik has quickly become an artist to watch out for. 

‘Cold Silver (Martyn's Time Freeze Mix)’ by Talik is out now via Intercept Records - buy here: https://intercept.bandcamp.com/album/cold-silver-martyns-time-freeze-mix

Untitled 909 Podcast 093: Talik

Tapes #46 comes from Talik, a London-based producer and DJ quickly gaining prominence for her intricate, impassioned productions and equally expressive mixes. Treading the febrile ground between IDM, broken techno, and post-dubstep, her Tapes mix reflects a carefully considered approach to narrative construction and an astute ear for conjuring space through rhythm.

INTERVIEW

Origins Tapes 046 - Talik

Picking up on the launch of Marie Montexier’s Paryìa label with a trippy EP by a.b.u.3.0.3., the second release comes from the Dublin based shooting star Small Crab.

The Skin & Blister founding member delivers three percussive breaky tracks that highlight a wide range of her musical influences. Combining smooth textures with tribal rhythms the ’Flowing with Honey’ EP perfectly rounds off with a bass heavy remix by London based producer Talik, who recently gained attention through highly acclaimed releases on 3024 and Intercept.

Pre-order: https://controlfreakrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/wood-water-inc-french-ii-remix

As a longstanding member of the @controlfreakrecordings family, @talik1’s debut on the label feels long overdue - her next EP 'Wood & Water' featuring an expert remix from @french_ii lands on the label this Friday.

'Gripping Dust' lays emphasis on the low-end, a snarling and percussive mutation of UK bass.

Premiere: Talik 'Gripping Dust'

After debuting on 3024 in July 2021 with "I See Faces in the Trees" on the label's first Artist Mentorship Compilation, we are very proud to present Talik's Firefly EP. 

On this record, the London-based producer explores and experiments with the twitchy, flickering movements of animals of the night, their behaviors perhaps analogous to our own in dark and loud rooms surrounded by strangers- alone but together.  Through four beautiful tracks we are shown a more energetic side of Talik's music, layered with the moods of her earlier work for Intercept, Pressure Dome and Control Freak.

Enjoy!
