Born and based in Antwerp, Belgium, Taska Black is the artistic vision of songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Joachim Gorrebeeck, who's quickly established himself as one of the most exciting new artists in the dance music ranks on the strength of his forward-thinking, genre-defying sound. While fresh on the scene, producing and releasing music as Taska Black for only four years, the newcomer has already evolved his project outside of dance with exciting new forays into the pop music sphere. Hailed as a "visionary producer" by Live Nation's Ones to Watch channel and certified by Billboard Dance in their Ones to Watch series, who called him a fierce talent, Taska Black today stands as one of the fastest-rising artists in the worldwide electronic scene and a growing international talent thanks to his patented sound—an electrifying blend of warm melodies, sweeping harmonies, cinematic sounds, romantic synths, pop sensibilities, and anthemic vocals.
Breaking into the scene fresh with poignant electronic sound is 22-year-old Antwerp based producer Taska Black. His rare style utilizes an organic warmth in cohesion with raw heart-pumping melodies. By meshing his background in classical music with pulsating modern day bass music styles, Taska Black continuously challenges the formulaic trends of electronic music today with his forward-thinking approach.
Taska Black's first taste of music began at a very young age with the introduction of the violin and pianolessons at only 4 years old. Initially dreading these classes and the structure of a musical education, Taska Black soon found that improvisation was what kept his inspiration and drive alive. The producer continued to experiment with this improvisation and dropping the prioritization of rules and standards when it came to classical music. Eventually, Taska Black's renegade nature lead to him experimenting with the art of music production through dabbling in various genres.
Breaking rules while remaining true to his inner innovator, Taska Black took the project one step further and began to put his name on the map. Eventually the project took off and started garnering attention in the scene. Taska Black's track "Right Now" caught the interest of San Holo's imprint bitbird, marking a turning point for the young artist's blossoming journey.
That paved the way to a burgeoning partnership between label and artist culminating in his breakout single "Leave Me" which has accumulated over three million streams cross platform and topped the HypeMachine charts. Taska followed that up with two powerful remixes for his mentor. One for "Light" and one for "The Future," both of which have hit over a million streams in under a year.
With heavy anthemic elements, Taska Black is ultimately a conductor of emotions. With every track unveiled, the artist unravels a rawness through his intrinsic aptitude for melody and sound design which has seen him garner support from fellow heavyweights Zeds Dead, Alison Wonderland, Marshmello and more. From his own initial inspirations to the finalized product, Taska Black values the journey just as much as the destination. Regarding this process, Taska Black states "I want listeners to have the same feeling I get when I write my songs. I search for progressions, melodies, and harmonies that make me feel something that I can't describe. That exact feeling I want people to experience when listening to my music."
As Taska Black's recognition grows, it's best to keep your eye on the producer, as each coming singleunveils further experimentation with the marriage of contemporary electronic sounds in a classic demeanour.
"I'll always keep searching for that magic in music that touches me in a way. People have only seen 1% of what I want to show them with my music. My long term goal is to show them that other 99%. In the future I'd love to work towards a visually strong live show where I can perform more as a musician than as a DJ."
