PREMIERE: Tantum - Scatter (Original Mix) [MEANWHILE] by Music Treasures published on 2024-03-27T12:01:23Z FOLLOW: @musictreasures @tantum-music @meanwhilerec āŗ Release Info: First appearing on Meanwhile in mid-2023 with a 3-track extravaganza of epic proportions, Tantum now returns to the label with another musical triptych in the shape of "Contact High / This is Real / Scatter". A production career that began with a high-profile debut on EIN2, German producer, Tantum, has made a name for himself blurring the boundaries between progressive house and melodic techno. Subsequent releases for Juicebox Music, Mango Alley and Guy J's Lost & Found have put Tantum firmly on the underground dance map. May 2023's "Secondary / Suan Pan / Narko" was a notable highlight on GMJ & Matter's imprint, while a remix of the duo's "Time to Space" a few months later showcased another side to his production credentials. Opening the EP, "Contact High" is a chunky rhythmic jewel that glistens with iridescent light as reversed melodies and rippling arpeggio build powerfully against a driving dancefloor beat and body-swaying percussive groove. Hypnotic and vibrant, a rasping bassline and pitched oscillator motif create a mesmerising intensity that builds through the breakdown before dropping back into the club-ready groove in the second half. The aptly titled "Scatter" impresses with its angular beats and liberally placed fragmented effects. Muted arpeggios and mid-range motifs infuse the middle sections as a searing glissando lead line rises and falls with analogue-filtered intensity. The combination of melody at the breakdown then heralds the arrival of the dominant kick to regain rhythmic vitality in the third movement. The final track sees "This is Real" delight with hits wood-block percussive cadence and syncopated bass sequence. Revelling in an array of complementary synth lines, pitched oscillators create an easy free-flowing character that is both innovative and dynamic. Weaving gently throughout in coruscating patterns, it builds intensity as the rhythmic gravitas hits its heights post-breakdown to inspiring and striking effect.
