Taevalaotus & Joel Tammik inaugurate Estonian imprint Taevas Records this August with the ‘Sfäärid’ EP, comprised of four ethereal early 2000’s IDM inspired and hardware focused originals from the duo.
Close to twenty years ago the artist name 'Taevalaotus' was brought to existence by a guy in Estonia - Margus Sootla. There's no direct translation to English for the word, the closest would probably be to translate it as 'The Vastness of the Sky'. Margus released the album ‘Ajastud’ in 2003 and was part of the D&B duo Nemos but has always been making and creating. Following a motorcycle journey around the world across 70 countries Margus returned to Estonia and continued to make music, joining forces with fellow Estonian Joel Tammik, who’s also been releasing material for nearly two decades via his own Väli imprint amongst others, Whether dub techno, ambient or experimental, analogue synthesizers have always been at the core of his productions.
One day the guys decided to bring all the equipment together for a weekend jam, and the material for 'Sfäärid' EP came together.
The title track and our premiere for today, 'Sfäärid,' is a mesmerizing ethereal electronica trip with fluttering synth sequences, crunchy electro-tinged drums and airy chord swells.

'Sfäärid' EP is coming out on August 22 via Taevas Records.
