"Where Blondie was gettin' fresh with 'Rapture' in
1981, tantriXX is gettin' fresh with 'Daddy'. Smooth
vocals over chilled raps and electro-now sounds take
you gliding through what might be your fucked up days daze. Beats placate.
Plaintive cries and whispers of desire might mess with
your head but they'll also keep you moving so they
can't take over. If Peter Raufhofer or Jacques Lu Cont
were to get they're hands on these trax there'd be
cracks on the dancefloor from the earthquake of
stompers.
tantriXX is for the post-modern set. This krafty
beatmaker hasn't heard about the 80s revival - she's
recreating it for herself with 21st century
technology. Annie Lennox would be rasing her arms in the air for the cover of 'Here comes the rain'.
tantriXX tears me apart like a new emotion.
Its dark like Portishead at their best, its free like
Kate Bush stoned off her tits, its Eurythmics as they
led the new romantics and its moody like punks coming down. But ultimately its none of the above because tantriXX & co is the new wave."

Where Blondie was gettin' fresh with 'Rapture' in '81, TANTRiXX is gettin' fresh with 'Daddy'. Vehement vocals over rubenesque raps and electro-now sounds take you gliding through what might be the soundtrack to your fucked up days daze. Beats placate. Plaintive cries and whispers of desire might mess with your head but they'll also keep you moving so they can't take over. TANTRiXX are for the post-modern set; dark like Portishead, rough'n'ready like Peaches, in your face like The Prodigy, free like Kate Bush stoned off her tits; rolling like the Eurythmics as they led the new romantics & moody like punks coming down. Ultimately, it's none of the above because TANTRiXX have straddled the new wave & are riding it like there's no tomorrow.
Emerging from Perth, TANTRiXX is the brainchild of singer/songwriter/producer Tan Ti'en (ex La Chambre & The Lipz). Her vocal and song writing style have attracted few comparisons. Outside of the studio, TANTRiXX combines the forces of Tan on vocals, Nunz Vacca (Drums), Joey Bruford (Bass), Nathan Sinclair (Guitars), and newest addition Grant Ryan (Keys, FX and Vocals) resulting in an up-close-and-personal live apocalypse of high-energy electro-hip-pop that is dark, light, & nowhere in between.
