Berlin based composer/producer Nils Frahm declared today, March 29th (the 88th day of the year on non-leap years draws an allusion to the 88 keys on a piano), the first Piano Day. In celebration of this holiday, many artists broke out their pianos and composed pieces – Tale of Us did just that.
For those who aren’t familiar with Tale of Us, they are a Berlin-based DJ/Producer duo composed of Matteo Milleri and Carmine Conte. In their words, they are “re-writing the rulebook for deeply moving, emotional electronic music.” They recently released a remix of Plastikman – EXpand (Plastikman is one of Richie Hawtin’s monikers). Listen to their remix of EXpand below:

The track Tale of Us produced for Piano Day, “Distante,†is centered around the piano and synthesizer. In “Distante,†you will hear Tale of Us’ distinctive style: meandering melodies, seemingly random at times, but each note has a purpose. In previous releases, Tale of Us have demonstrated their superior sound design skills, but they raise the bar with the exquisite timbres heard in “Distante.†Listen to and download “Distante†for free here:
