Artist Bio / Album Info

Homegrown in Denver Colorado, Tatanka is a three piece specializing in the sounds of dub, progressive reggae, and electro soundscapes. Heavy Caribbean drum and bass grooves provide the pulse for the party as the music invites you to get down and dirty.

This trio of denver dub samurai’s just recently released they re first studio E.P. entitled Sounds in Technicolor. The release has been dubbed as drum and bass music for a new generation, a twist on new and old reggae riddim’s and an instant classic.

The pulsing basslines provided by Tatanka’s Malonestar seem to rock the mind into trance while Champian’s guitar work and The Mexico’s hi-hat, snare and kick drum 4/4 playing styles pepper over the top of the album’s four track’s almost flawlessly.

Tatanka has shared the stage with many major national and international acts that include but are not limited to: Easy Star All-Stars, The Black Seeds, John Brown’s Body, The Expendables, Groundation, Pretty Lights, Passafire and more. The Tatanka trio continues to push they’re sound to the next level. Dub rock Syndicate recently gave the boys the title “the up and coming kings of dubtronic. Tatanka has now been touring for over two years and will continue to do so.
