"Tensnake excels at a midpoint between unapologetic populist hedonism and a sense of deep house restraint. "Coma Cat", the newest single from one of dance music's best rising producers, fronts ambiguity from its opening seconds, with a Balearic howl and a bassline that channels 1980s R&B and 1980s house music equally. But then bells impart a simple evocation of nostalgic wistfulness and the track moves into an earnest emotional space that worms its way into your consciousness."
— David Drake, Pitchfork
"Tensnake's meteoric rise after a few years among Teutonic house music's fringes is attributable to one single moment: The gloriously melodic and ridiculously tuneful "Coma Cat." The year began in January with its release on the Permanent Vacation, and its renown has kept growing throughout to a point where it's now ubiquitous. But somehow not overplayed. It's this unique quality that makes it seem like Marco Niemerski has his tasteful finger on the proverbial pulse—something that is also apparent on his first commercially available mix CD."
— Stephane Gerard, Resident Advisor
ABOUT TENSNAKE
Tensnake is an electro producer from Hamburg, Germany, who emerged in the mid-2000s with a disco-influenced style and rose to critical acclaim at the end of the decade. Born Marco Niemerski, he made his commercial recording debut with the Restless EP on the label Mirau in 2006. He released the follow-up I Say Mista EP on the label in 2007.
In addition, he released EPs on the labels Players Paradise (Dust, 2007), Radius Records (Fried Egg, 2007), and Endless Flight (Keep Believin', 2008). Critical acclaim came with the release of the In the End (I Want You to Cry) EP on the label Running Back in 2009.
The EP was voted number one on DJhistory.com's end-of the-year list, among other accolades, and spawned a couple different club hits with "In the End (I Want You to Cry)" and "Holding Back (My Love)."
In the midst of this breakthrough success in 2009, Tensnake was chosen to compile a DJ mix for Resident Advisor. In 2010 he released the Coma Cat EP on the label Permanent Vacation. The EP's title track was licensed for release by Defected in the United Kingdom. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
