Release Date - 09.30.2022
Stream & Buy - https://xyzlabel.lnk.to/TalVezSonarRemixes

As the summer drifts in the vibrant months of autumn, we’re thrilled to revisit Eduardo McGregor’s second EP on the imprint - Tal Vez Soñar. The Mexican maestro has showcased a distinct knack for global grooves, percussive rhythms, and rich melodies. He’s a unique talent within dance music - a multi instrumentalist, composer, and educator. McGregor’s true musicianship brings distinct quality to his productions, and we continue explorations into original organic territories with a set of sensational remixes.

Hole Box & Vite follow up a terrific EP on Tale & Tone with their remix on the project’s namesake - Tal Vez Soñar. Driven percussion and rotating rhythms provide a deep ambiance, shifting effortlessly through melodic moods. The groove is ever-present, ensuring listeners are entrenched in the foundation of dance as Tal Vez Soñar’s signature vocal performance arrives in full.

Anjunadeep’s JFR makes his debut on TOR, also taking the reins on Eduardo’s Tal Vez Soñar. He decompresses the arrangement with a blissed-out tone and sets the spotlight on elongated vocal touches. A smooth and dreamy roller from the Argentinian!

Massio & Josta take on Nothing In The Dark, harnessing psychedelic tones and swirling soundscapes, playing with the mind while providing crisp percussion to please the senses. They touch upon global influences with dips and dives into diverse crevices of organic house flavor.

Closing us out is Ilias Katelanos & Plecta, who provide an immensely vibey remix of the B-side. Rich synthetics ebb & flow over a groove-laden bassline, as a break in energy offers devious dancefloor moments. An ominously opulent production from the pair, and one sure to find the bag of global selectors for late summer shows.
