Time to announce our next release - it’s the “Taiko” EP, produced by 🥁
We love the tribal rhythms and the energy of this one! ✨
Berlin-based Mexican artist Viiaan unveils her new EP “Taiko”, a bold four-track exploration of rhythm, ritual, and futuristic bass.
The title, “Taiko,” is drawn from the Japanese word for “drum,” symbolizing both the instrument itself and the communal force of ancient drumming ceremonies.
Across the EP, Viiaan fuses primal percussion with razor-sharp digital textures, shaping rhythm into pure motion.
The opening track, “Taiko,” sets the tone with glitchy micro-sounds that feel alive, mechanical yet organic. Massive drum strikes collide with synthetic fragments, evoking a futuristic tribal ritual.
“Amaterasu” continues with breakbeat ferocity, drenched in juicy percussion while a vocal slides in with raw confidence, charging the track with direct, physical energy.
“Elohalo” shifts gears into rolling trap-inspired rolls, sub-heavy grooves and driving percussion. Its vocal accents keeping the intensity taut and immediate.
Finally, “Azkhar” digs deeper — heavy, spacious, and alive with rhythmical chopped reese drones and flowing tribal grooves.

About Viiaan
Viiaan, the sonic alchemist from Mexico City, has transplanted her musical vision to the streets of Berlin, where she continues to shape a world of sound that defies categorization. Active as a producer, DJ, and curator since 2017, she stands at the crossroads of experimental electronics and club culture.
As the visionary force behind Voragine, a label that serves as a meeting point for artists working across experimental sound, and visual art, Viiaan’s work blurs the lines between the introspection and the physical.
Her sound is a living organism: breaks, intricate percussions, ambient atmospheres, left field bass, and techno intertwine to form a sonic language that refuses containment.
