Debut album and success

Tigersushi:

Luckily Tigersushi staff members Charlotte and Matthias discovered for themselves the work of Joakim's bass player and advised the label to sign his work. The first release was the 12-inch 'Imperator,' but again, no word from DyE. In reflection he comments that during this period his music was "a total mystery to me. I was more attracted by blogging as an art of fact then speaking of my music." So when the second single came 'Cristal d'Acier' DyE assimilates that his mood was much more "wonky" and as such the release communicated itself with its 'Remix from DJ Mehdi and a sleeve made of Gold and Cylco Glasses.' Later DyE contributed the track 'Nike' for the Tigersushi 10 Year Anniversary release which saw him in a "smells like teen spirit kind of mood" completing the blue print for 'Taki 183.' This arrived around the same time of a small sabbatical from the "Night Excess" giving DyE the clarity to realise much of the album was complete; 'Vader,' ‘Taki 183' and 'Star Vac' were all born during One Week, One Track,' whilst 'Nike,' ‘Cristal d'Acier' and 'Dark White' all featured as catalogue releases on Tigersushi. But this is not a compilation of tracks, this is collection of tracks "to create my sci-fi universe: each track is the colour of a mood, made of a time, experience and loss." The sentiment couldn’t be more true, with ‘Immortals Only’ mapping a period of loss to DyE and ‘Matthias & Charlotte’ suggesting a milestone on a great journey to a happier place. Between these two key tracks is ‘Hole In Ocean,’ which is a nightmare that DyE enjoys relishing in, possibly suggesting the inevitability that one day this body of work will be released, which brings us to date.

Taki 183 was recorded using analogue equipment such as a Roland TR-606, Moog Source and a Korg Poly Six into Pro-Tools. [2]

"Fantasy" was released together with an animated body horror themed music video to promote the single. This video became popular, attracting over 65 million views, [3] 49 million of those within two years. [4]
