Morocco’s most respected ambassador for electronic music, Amine K, cues up a release that’s been some time in the making. ‘Taran’ comes in two versions, offering up pure vibes for both the day and the night, and the seasoned artist, who has previously released for Sol Selectas, Get Physical and Akbal Music, dishes up his debut for BLOND:ISH’s ABRACADABRA label in fine style. Amine K gives us an insight into these wonderful brace of tracks…
“I started the track some seven or eight years ago. Back then, I really wanted to make something different, sexy and original and that would be appealing to a larger audience than what I was producing for back then. I ended up digging into different genres to see if I could crossover into them with my electronic music, and that’s how I found this dancehall reggaeton kind of vocal. And I loved it! However, I tried many times to get something out of it, but it just wasn’t the right. Fast forward two years, and I finally had something that I thought was pretty cool, so I sent it to Viv and she started playing it, but we both knew the track could be better. So, when the lockdown hit, I went back to my old tracks, but now having the knowledge and mastery of those past 10 years. I ended up having a good idea of what I wanted to do, and I've finally achieved it, and I got two versions. One is the Dr. Gonzo mix, which is more like day, uplifting and housey vibes, and the El Loko Mix which is more by night, and after-hours house vibes. Viv ended up liking both versions and here we are now :).”
