From Denver, to London, Den-Lon marks the start of a new chapter for Tantok, created between tour dates and shaped by transatlantic ambition
Released on April 18th via the newly founded Tok About It Records, “Den-Lon” is the first official release from Tantok’s imprint. Available now on digital platforms
Written in transit and completed between international dates, the track blends elements of tech house, acid house, and melodic techno, shaped by the artist’s evolving experiences on the road and his longstanding goal to launch a label focused on creative freedom and collaborative spirit.
“Den-Lon” was originally sketched on a laptop during a flight layover in London, en route to Tantok’s attendance to IMS Ibiza. Composed without access to external instruments, the core arrangement was drawn using only MIDI tools. It was later developed using a hybrid setup of Moog Minitaur, Prophet Rev 2, Serum, and SynX. The result is a club-driven cut with a direct connection to the moment it was conceived: an artist between cities, channeling anticipation and momentum.
The title Den-Lon nods to both the flight route and the aspirations it carried. “I wanted people to feel like they’re accomplishing something huge—like playing their debut show in London at Ministry of Sound,” Tantok said. Less than a year after writing the first sketch, that vision materialized in January 2025, when he performed at the iconic London venue. From Denver, to London.
Tok About It was launched by Tantok as a space to express himself freely and to bring together like-minded producers. The label’s name references its intention to prioritize artistic dialogue and independent direction. “This label has always been a goal,” Tantok explained. “It’s about setting the tone for releases that come from a personal place.”
“Den-Lon” opens that catalog, reflecting the kind of energy and mindset the label seeks to amplify: a sense of movement, post-show adrenaline, and the creative potential found in travel.
The release follows a string of international tour dates that have helped define Tantok’s current trajectory. The All That I Need tour included performances in Italy at I Due Merli (Bardonecchia) and Head Studios (Turin), followed by his London debut at Ministry of Sound.
After returning from Europe, Tantok joined Miami Music Week with a run of 12 shows, performing at more than 10 venues across the city. Most recently, he played in Austin, Texas—often cited as the cultural capital of the U.S.—adding another milestone to a year marked by growth and visibility.
Tantok is a producer and live performer working at the intersection of tech house and melodic techno. His performances are informed by a combination of hardware-based experimentation and in-the-moment arrangement, often drawing on the emotional atmosphere of the cities he plays in. With Tok About It Records now live, his focus turns to developing the label’s identity while continuing to expand his touring and studio work.
The next release, Space Is Boundless, is expected soon via Like That Underground. “Den-Lon” is now available across streaming platforms. Tantok’s tour visuals, photos, and upcoming news are available on his official channels and via Tok About It Records on Instagram. The track can also be accessed here via direct link.
