Tanith - TANITH

Review by Antemadas em Moda

Album Review: TANITH by Tanith – A 1999 Electronic Gem That Still Hits Hard Alright, let’s talk about TANITH by Tanith. This album came out in 1999, back when big beat and breakbeat were ruling the electronic scene, and Germany was pumping out some seriously banging tunes. Released on Timing Recordings and Motor Music, this record is all about high-energy beats, thumping basslines, and remixes that just don’t quit. Written and produced entirely by Tanith, it’s one of those albums that feels like a time capsule from the late '90s rave era—but with enough staying power to still slap today. The whole thing revolves around one core track, creatively titled T.A.N.I.T.H., which gets remixed into oblivion across nine versions. Yeah, nine. It’s basically an exercise in creativity, showing how far you can stretch a single idea without losing its soul. And honestly? Some of these mixes are unforgettable. Take T.A.N.I.T.H (Junkie XL Mix) for instance. If you’re not nodding your head within the first 30 seconds, check your pulse—you might be dead. Junkie XL brings his signature gritty, industrial edge here, layering crunchy synths over punchy drums. There’s something raw and almost rebellious about it, like he took the original track and gave it a shot of adrenaline. I remember hearing this mix for the first time at a friend's place, and we ended up playing it on repeat for hours. It’s the kind of track that makes you wanna grab life by the horns and go wild. Then there’s T.A.N.I.T.H (Thomas P. Heckmann Mix)—a total vibe shift but equally killer. Thomas dials things back a bit, focusing more on hypnotic rhythms and atmospheric textures. The build-ups feel cinematic, and the drops? Oh man, they hit different. It’s perfect for those moments when you need music to zone out to but still want to feel the energy pulsing through your veins. This version stood out because it felt like stepping into another world—a darker, moodier one where the party never stops but slows down juuuust enough to catch your breath. Now, I gotta admit, having so many remixes could’ve easily made this album feel repetitive or self-indulgent. But somehow, Tanith pulls it off. Each mix offers something fresh while staying true to the essence of the original. Whether you’re into techno-heavy bangers or chill breaks, there’s probably a version here that’ll speak to you. Reflecting on TANITH, it’s kinda wild how well it holds up after all these years. Sure, the production screams '90s, but isn’t that part of its charm? Listening to it now feels like revisiting an old club night where everyone danced like no one was watching. And hey, fun fact: if aliens ever invade Earth, I’d blast this album as humanity’s final “eff you.” Something tells me even extraterrestrials would appreciate the beats. So yeah, give TANITH a spin. You won’t regret it. Unless, ya know, you hate good music.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *TANITH* by Tanith isn’t just another electronic music release. It came out in 1999 in Germany and features a bunch of remixes by some big names in the scene. Junkie XL, who later became famous for remixing tracks like Elvis Presley’s “A Little Less Conversation,” is one of them. What’s wild is that Tanith not only wrote and produced the whole thing but also got Thomas P. Heckmann to remix the title track twice. Two versions of the same remix? That’s dedication. And with styles like Big Beat and Breaks, it’s no wonder this album still gets nods from electronic music fans.
