TATE SEDAR stands at the vanguard of post-EDM, a genre he himself has been pivotal in shaping. As a groundbreaking producer, his work transcends the conventional boundaries of electronic dance music, fusing analog and digital elements to create a sound that is both nostalgic and innovative. We have featured a slew of his previous releases, and there is no doubt that TATE SEDAR‘s ability to craft emotionally resonant tracks while maintaining the high-energy pulse of EDM has set him apart as a visionary in the music industry.
Drawing us in with an atmospheric riser, expanding with dimensionality and a stunning acoustic guitar performance, the TATE SEDAR remix of Cutting Loose opens with ethereal vocals from Anabel Englund with timeless lyrical themes touching upon hedonism and independence.
The opus evolves with glitched vocals, into a dark and moody universe rooted in a subversive, EDM bassline with percussive textured, tripping into a meditative sense of clarity before the return of the acoustic guitar reminds us of the emotional, overarching core of the song.
We are obsessed with the vocal design and cerebral synths, the evocative ebbs and flows and the serene, yet dynamic energy that manifests. The finale reminds us of Berghain in Berlin with a pulsating and fierce energy, concluding with an anthemic build and leaving us yearning for so much more! An iconic overall adventure!
The genesis of the TATE SEDAR Remix takes us back to 2021, where a soundcheck at one of Academy LA’s first post-pandemic shows led to TATE meeting Disco Lines in the booth. Unfortunately, TATE had to ‘cut loose’ and temporarily leave the venue – having previously organized a meetup with friends before his own closing set – and miss Disco Lines‘s opening set. However, this moment would plant a seed for both of their futures.
Fast forward to EDC Las Vegas 2023, where TATE ran into Disco Lines in the Artist Lounge. This festival marked a major milestone in TATE’s career, as he encountered familiar faces and artists he looked up to, igniting a new level of inspiration. Later in 2024, TATE became enamored by the silky vocals and vivacious rhythms of Cutting Loose by Disco Lines, J. Worra, and Anabel Englund upon its release. We learn that before even touching his DAW, he envisioned a techno-formatted remix with guitar accompaniment under Anabel Englund’s voice.
The dichotomy of bittersweet acoustic-pop and relevant techno sounds breeds a satisfying array of auditory experiences, easily absorbed in or outside of the club. Although the consciously astute TATE missed Disco Lines’s set at Academy, he sees this remix as a remedial act and a form of reverence—not just for Disco Lines‘s hustle from TikTok to main stages, but for all the talented acts involved.
We love the remix, and are streaming it on loop via SoundCloud, anticipating its release on all streaming platforms, whilst we continue to immerse ourselves in Disco Lines‘s original version of the song, and TATE SEDAR‘s exquisite, growing discography!
