Tantok’s 39th release, “Paradox,” a collaboration with Ukrainian producer Lucky Choice.
The dry beats start off somewhat muffled, and a layer of groove is added to the experience. The track progressively ascends, and just after a minute, its atmosphere fully reveals itself, transitioning into the second half with an epic vocal that kicks off a club-ready, immersive vibe that follows.
“Paradox” is a testament to the seamless collaboration driven by their mutual admiration for Miss Monique and her ability to enchant listeners with smooth melodic techno. Lucky Choice initiated the instrumental, which underwent a collaborative process of back-and-forth refinements with Tantok, culminating in a polished mix/master by Head Studios.
It’s the second official collaboration between Lucky Choice & Tantok. Lucky Choice lives in Ukraine, and Tantok lives in Denver. The two producers met through their mutual label, Digital Empire Records in 2020, and connected as producers and friends through the power of the internet.
Tantok’s live performances are as compelling as his recorded tracks. His recent appearance alongside Mat Zo at The Church in Denver showcased his skill in captivating live audiences, further solidifying his reputation in the electronic music scene. Notable past performances include his show with Golden Features at Club Vinyl, and international gigs at the Amsterdam Dance Event and the International Music Summit in Ibiza.
Tantok’s discography is diverse, with notable tracks like “Berlin” on Jendex Records, and Help Me Feel” on Blanco Y Nero Music. His ability to infuse his music with his background as a bassist and his appreciation for Latin culture sets him apart in the electronic music landscape. His upcoming Spanish track, “Quiero Bailar,” promises to add another dimension to his portfolio, blending Latin tech house with mariachi trumpet elements.
With “Paradox” already making waves, Tantok’s next release, “Quiero Bailar,” is set to drop on August 16th under Enormous Tunes’ sub-label No Definition. This track, featuring seductive vocals by Alejandra Guerra, promises to be a Latin tech house sensation, further showcasing Tantok’s versatility and innovative spirit below that helmet.
Released under the Barcelona-based label Clippers Sounds, “Paradox” is available on all digital platforms and for DJs on Beatport.
