For the 22nd episode of our Herbarium mix series, we have the pleasure to feature our label head @polygonia. She put together a journey which leads us through organic breakbeats combined with funky yet trippy dubstep tunes leading over to Four on the Floor madness and back.

Polygonia chose the ancient Ginkgo tree for her musical journey:
Choosing the Ginkgo Biloba tree as the topic for my mix resonates deeply with its unique and ancient characteristics such as resilience and adaptability through millions of years. The tree's versatility gave me the perfect inspiration to explore various genre styles and put them together in a coherent way. Ginkgo Biloba's distinct, fan-shaped leaves evoke a sense of rhythm and movement, akin to the pulsating beats of this musical story. Additionally, the tree's symbolism of longevity and endurance aligns with the enduring appeal and transformative power of these tracks.

Setting the stage for a powerful statement, we announce Munich-based Tenzia's release of 'Tumble,' an eight track album that finds grace, humor, and pure dance energy in the inevitable moments of disorientation. The artist reframes every fall and stumble not as a failure, but as the most crucial opportunity for radical redirection and personal growth. Musically, the album is driven by complex, evolving arrangements and striking progression, designed to capture a wide emotional range. This depth never compromises the club's energy, as every piece is meticulously engineered to be a functional floor-tool. Stylistically, the tracks feature irresistible grooves, pulsating basslines, and precisely crafted synthesizers combined with organic textures and percussions. Signature pieces like the title track 'Tumble' and 'Skewed' stand out, where the synthesizer sound design creates a strong feeling of forward pushing tension interwoven with its relentless bass section. 'Running Slowly' forms a deliberate contrast to the album's faster-paced energy with its sub-heavy, bouncy rhythm and slight dub reference. Tenzia’s bold vision proves that profoundly honest introspection can be just as explosive as pure, captivating dance music.
