TATE SEDAR has made a notable return to the complextro genre with his latest track ‘Take It All Back’. This release represents a culmination of his musical journey, heavily influenced by the electro house movement that initially captivated him during the early 2010s.
Musical Evolution and Influences
During his formative years, TATE was drawn to the electro house sound, which laid the groundwork for his musical style. His performances alongside renowned artists like Wolfgang Gartner and Cash Cash have further solidified his place within this vibrant genre.
Long-Standing Development of the Track
‘Take It All Back’ has been a project years in the making. In preparation for his upcoming 2024 debut EP, TATE experimented with a blend of house and drum & bass. The early demo featured a stuttered melody paired with nostalgic chords and a vocal sample, leading into a bass-heavy drop. After a period of contemplation, feedback from Laidback Luke on Tomorrowland’s One World Radio encouraged TATE to see the project through to completion.
Collaboration and Production Challenges
Despite not receiving a response from the original collaborator, the positive reinforcement from Luke motivated TATE to refine his work. He incorporated elements such as pop guitars and hyperpop glitches, all while learning the intricacies of producing drum & bass, which proved to be one of his most significant challenges.
Signing with Big Fish Recordings
The finished track ultimately found a home on Big Fish Recordings, a label synonymous with electro house and known for launching artists like Zedd and Porter Robinson. TATE cites discovering these influential figures through platforms like YouTube and SoundCloud during his high school days.
Originally from San Francisco, TATE SEDAR’s career took off following his performance at the 2020 EDC Virtual Rave-A-Thon. He has since gained recognition, accumulating over 15 million plays and joining the Insomniac Events artist roster, alongside a prior release on Dim Mak.
