Sahara from Sahara by Task Horizon
Welcome to the Sahara…
The third largest desert in the world, after Antarctica and the Arctic, it covers an epic 9 million km² which is the same size as Canada or America. By day it can reach over 50° in heat. By night it can as cold as -6°.
It’s vast, it’s foreboding, its geological history dates back over 4 million years, it’s one of the hottest places on planet earth… And it’s currently the inspiration of the latest sonic adventure from the formidable D&B quartet Task Horizon.
Following the seismic ‘Like This’ with the legendary MC Killa P, ‘Sahara’ is the next record from Task Horizon in a whole slew of dispatches following their short break in releases following their almighty ‘Raised By Robots’ EP in September 2020. That was a time when the club and festival landscape was an actual desert due to Covid, now with dancefloors back and livelier than ever, they return to fire up the raves with all the heat of the iconic north African landscape itself.
‘Sahara’ is everything we need for this essential rave reboot: Powerful strings and yearning human textures create a filmic sense of theatre and tension in the intro before we drop into a turbine groove. Electrifying, high voltage bass tones. Funky, rattling percussion. Vigorous orchestral sweeps. Musical yet mighty, heavy yet uplifting, rooted to the dancefloor but with its mind in faraway lands, this is the sound of Task Horizon in 2022. Fully loaded and ready for adventure. Care to join them?
