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!

Sputnik One Invites Talik - 24 October 2023

Her thoughts were bubbling, they ran wild and recklessly from subject to subject taking up brainspace. She looked through glass eyes, glazed and distant by what sat behind.

Wandering between the cars, the people, the noise. She was simply lost in her own little world, delighted and happy to be at a disconnect from it all. It was magic up here.

The rain was falling heavily, puddles were forming by the corners of the road. It would only get colder and wetter from here but meanwhile she felt warm.

Talik appears on a new compilation celebrating five years of Pressure Dome. Her track is excellent, deep and weaving. The label invites friends and family to contribute as they mark a special milestone.
