The girl wandered further into the story, and, like any tale, it twisted what the girl knew to be one way, and turned it to be quite another. Dark became darker. Waters rose higher. Too high. Too fast.

Then through it, she heard a stranger’s voice say “You know you can walk on this water, right?”

“I can walk on water?” she said.

The stranger replied, “It’s your story, make it up. Make it so.“

“Well, let’s walk then,’ said the girl. “Let’s get our feet wet.” And she beckoned the Mist to follow her so they could blaze a trail to the place where anything happens if you make it so.

As Hoj and Lee Burridge began to write the first page of the story that would become Tale and Tone, they heard a song from Daso and Lutz that only redefine their need to create the new platform. They knew instantly that they had to sign the tune, even before the imprint officially came to the realization, as it stood as a perfect embodiment of their diverse tastes.

Daso and Lutz’s title track “De Libbe”, which features the delicate, worldly vocals of Arooj Aftab, is exemplary of Tale and Tone’s focus on using storytelling to showcase a wide range of sounds. De Libbe’s warm groovy and stirring vocals infuse together with tasteful intimacy as Daso and Lutz’s mastery of sonics and soundscapes are perfectly complimented by Arooj’s seductive melodies.

Daso completes the rest of the EP with “Northmorph” and “Ly,” a pairing of tunes that are equally as deft as they are sultry. While “Northmorph” builds, “Ly” conveys patience. By weaving through subtle melodies, expertly crafted percussion, and passionate atmospheres, Daso artfully crafts an EP aimed to keep dance-floors moving. Once you press play you will descend into a tranquil state-on-mind. An inspired and inspiring package from Daso - well fit for the third installment of Tale and Tone’s illustrative release calendar

One might say that the title track off the Daso EP is the one that brought Tale and Tone into existence. Hoj and Lee Burridge had been talking about a label to showcase their wide range of sound, but it was when they heard Daso and Lutz - De Libbe featuring Arooj Aftab that they swung into action. It was a track that they had to sign, and the record label would have to follow. Daso and Lutz - De Libbe featuring Arooj Aftab is unique in it’s beauty and mood. What the song does to a dance-floor is difficult to describe - somehow it brings everybody together. The reflective groove warms and washes over everyone, creating an intimate setting. And just as people have locked into it, the haunting vocal comes in like a wave. As Arooj’s vocal takes people away, the groove evolves and surprises, twisting and turning with perfectly engineered sonics and soundscapes that all complement each other in a way that is rare. Daso follows up De Libbe with Northmorph and Ly. The infectious grooves of each sweep through with trademark Daso sounds. Subtle melodies, expertly crafted percussion, atmospheres and soundscapes weave throughout. While Northmorph builds, Ly is patient. Both serve to keep dance-floors engaged and moving. All in all, an inspired and inspiring package from Daso.
