Sweetest Taboo (tango. edit)

Oh U Went Baile

real love.

hot in these white crocs

back again with my brother @loveave.
samples "seduction" by usher and "sensual seduction" by snoop dogg

this track has been 3 months in the making. we started this on a random discord call back in october, and fiiiiiiinally finished mixing this thing like 3 days ago lol. this dude avenue is a fiend lmao. 

this is a lil break from the slower, more hip hop focused sound i've been into lately. this track just needed to see the light of day. this needs to be in every real stepper's serato yesterday. 

we tryna spread love all over the planet. make more children. help yall be fruitful and multiply ya dig? 

+.

SEDUCTIONNN. w/ love ave.

contains samples from "too deep" by dvsn, "saturday love" by cherelle and alexander o'neal, and "kiss of life" by sade. 

today the ask is simple. look at the sky sometime today. maybe tonight. gaze at the moon. observe what echos inside when you do. i hope that whatever it is that surfaces, you love it enough to let it do what it needs in order to serve you. whatever that may be.
let your mind be like the tides of the ocean, bowing before the moon. and let nature take its course.

look at the sky.

this here is a flip of "soweto blues" by juls, busiswa, and jaz karis. samples "they don't know" by jon b. 

i believe that everything happens for a reason. i also believe that when life gets a little crazy, that means there's some kind of blessing at the end of all the turbulence. and right now... life is hitting a little bit 😂 im confident that all will work out in the end. just gotta stay ahead and keep moving. 

also want to shoutout @deleonpro .. i've been rinsing "Valentina Babyy" and this definitely inspired this. bro got the neptunes sound on lock. please check him out if you haven't done so already.

peace + love

soweto blues 2002.

edit of SATIN, originally by the one and only Destin Conrad and Chi-town's finest Jean Deaux. 

once again, shoutout to my brother @loveave. continue checking out that man's profile please. 
this is the first track of 8 that'll be coming from my new edit pack, dotWAV edits vol. 1. it'll be free to download (of course, you can definitely donate to me if you feel so inclined) but feel free to download and spin or whatever.

im really excited about the music i've been putting together lately. i've recently gotten my hands on an assortment of new tools that im trying out and sharpening my sword with everyday. in addition to that, i'm rediscovering reading fiction and video games again - things that in my childhood used to bring me great joy. to find inspiration from alternatives worlds to this one is a pure joy, and it increases my optimism in establishing new paradigms in my own world. shoutout octavia butler.

thanks for making it this far. with love, always.

adorn. w/ JayDottCee

we must do our best to remember that love is the revolution we're looking for. more than romantic love. love for our passions, our friendships, our desire to learn and be learned, our love for education, this planet. we should approach our daily ministries with the same intention as the softest kisses on our lovers neck. love is sacred, but the only way to protect it is to show it. 

peace to the Queen Patrice Rushen.

+.

the reminder.

kwn has been on a generational run this year. for myself, as a production centered artist, to witness her output, creative process, and elevation has been very inspiring, even if that witnessing has been only thru these lit screens. i greatly enjoyed putting together this track. it's fun, in my opinion it's a fresh take and interpretation of what's absolutely a smash. looking forward to more pushing limits when it comes to fresh takes on old formulas

shoutout to Carmen Lundy for the sample. for the particular track i used, Patrice Rushen played they keys. unfortunately, as a lover of good music, i can't give you the name of the song. you'll have to find it yourself, but Miss Lundy's discography is so robust, you'll probably find another song to fall in love with. 

keep driving.

WORST BEHAVIOR.

i made this track just fooling around with serato sample's stems feature. sometimes i'll just be posted up in ableton putting records into serato sample and just listen (in my mind, i imagine myself into a listening room). sometimes in that listening room, inspiration strikes. after a while i’d laid down the skeleton of the track which is “read your mind” by Avant over a random break. while imagining what record would pair well with this, i just listened to “say yes” by floetry’s acapella to catch Ms. Marsha Ambrosius’s vibe and i’d noticed something that had never stood out to me before, and it was so fucking genius to me haha. when she says “all you gotta do is say YES”, the “YES” is whispered!!!!!! i’d always imagined the note she sang there to be the same as the note she sang on “say”, but whole time, she WHISPERED IT. it was mind-blowing to me as someone who’s lived (and i mean lived) with this song for decades and never noticed it, but also as a musician and the way the music AROUND her voice supported my belief in that note existing. this just speaks to Marsha Ambrosius’s abilities in vocal performance in displaying control and energy. the arrangement of the song, the choice of tones and timbres, the way it was mixed. thank you Floetry. and thank you Beyoncé. thank you Avant.

tango. (@tango.wav) for episode 019 is now live 💜

It has been an absolute pleasure having Sean on the rotation for Apply Pressure Radio. This past month, we had the opportunity to meet irl with other great producers we’ve been following throughout the years. Chicago is lucky to have him, and we hope to have him back on the west coast sooner than later. Here’s a few words from the man himself: 

“Sean Whitaker, musically known as tango., is a producer and DJ from Raleigh, NC. For the past 5 years, he’s called Chicago home, which is where he began to develop and hone his soulful sound which pulls from influences all over genres and culture. Boasting semi-viral success with his remixes and edits on Soundcloud, tango. brings that same energy to his mixes, playing with songs as if they were samples in to flip.”


His episode is now live on Apply Pressure Radio’s YouTube channel. Show him some love in the comments because this set was 🔥.
