What the critics are saying:

Dylan Tauber has emblazoned his name in the independent EDM scene for some time now. It is evident from his music that he can give life back to machines, when he composes. On his 19th album, he returns to his love for water and waves in this incredible collection of sounds. This one is called Dolphin Waves 2. If you haven't listened to music by Dylan Tauber, I suggest you do so. This is just the best of the best, the finesse and polished material. From his early days, he has ensured what he composes is from a figment of love and care. He is an aficionado of nature, and this album proves it time and time again.
Careful execution shows Dylan Tauber constantly stretching the boundaries of EDM, adding more power and feel to his songs. It is exciting to hear an artist still be in love with exploring these wormholes of sound for making such interesting, all encompassing music. Dylan has truly given the genre multiple dimensions, and the indie music scene globally would always be indebted to him for that. Read More

Now, Dylan is taking us on another brilliant adventure, taking an exploratory view of the universe through twelve original songs that are as visceral as they are cathartic. With every release Dylan is able to create something new and exciting for us to enjoy, and ‘I Am Alive’, his sixteenth record is no different.

Dylan Tauber has been a master of his craft for the better part of two-and-a-half decades. Renowned as an award winning electronic musician, cyber artist, photographer, and author, Dylan graduated from Columbia University in 1996, and has been based, in NYC, Jerusalem, Miami, a remote island in the southwestern Pacific, and currently a kibbutz in northern Israel where he is Artist-in-Residence. Through the years, Dylan has both refined and expanded his modes of production. His latest and 15th album, "The Lagoon", is a true masterpiece. Throughout twelve dynamic, yet hyper-reflexive and cleanly mastered tracks, Dylan Tauber takes listeners on a journey into sound dimensions that are awash with throbbing percussion, pulsating basslines, sweeping synths and infectious melodies, dripping with infectiously mellifluous female vocals.

It feels odd to say that "He Loves Carmen" might be Dylan Tauber’s best work to-date, mostly because one could say that about each of his 14 albums and it would always be true. Tauber’s a master of sound science and creates a new world of sound for each album he releases. For the EDM, set, however, this one will hit different. Expertly produced and full of beautiful composition to keep the tech nerds happy but effortlessly emotive and covering a wide range of eras at the same time, He Loves Carmen also happens to fit in perfectly with what’s hot right now in electronica. It’s sort of a Hudson Mohawke effect, driven once again by Derkach’s vocals: the emotion, the tech, the skill and the cool all just come together here, and it’s even more poignant that it’s inspired by love. read more

Dylan Tauber is a very prolific musician. I just reviewed his album "Sounds from Space 2," what seems like merely weeks ago, although it was actually last year...and I loved it. This new album is a bit more romantic, as you can tell from the title, but it's just as enigmatic and emotional.
The idea that electronica can be soulful, human, or moving might seem antithetical to some, but Dylan Tauber's music is profoundly organic. Each sound made comes from somewhere deep within his mind, he creates waves of rhythm and delicate spiraling emotive soundscapes. It's easy to become transported by him, even as you listen to what is clearly manufactured. But isn't everything we hear just our minds' interpretation of what is real...I loved this album. read more

If you’ve read as much about Dylan Tauber as I have, you’d know you’re on safe ground when it comes to the music he’s making long before even pushing play. This man right here…is incredibly well-traveled, has all kinds of worldly experience, and is a justifiable artist by many definitions – not only does he create a stellar brand of his own Electro, but he’s actually quite the accomplished photographer as well.

"Artist and visionary Dylan Tauber has been making music for well over two decades, his most recent release being the aptly named ‘Sounds From Space’.
His 12th album to date, the album features 15 new tracks, some featuring the vocal talent of Enlia and Francessca Belisario. The opening track, ’11:18:16’, sets an eerie yet elegant vibe, with an almost oceanic quality. Incredibly cinematic by nature, it perfectly sets the stage for what is to come from the rest of the album.
‘Carmen Song’ is one of the tracks that stands out most from the album, which was written for Dylan’s girlfriend, Carmen. Dylan says that the entire album was inspired by her, but this track especially exudes a certain passion that is reminiscent of the feelings surrounding any budding romance."

“Having a record like this in your lineup is a necessity. It’s nice to get away from the world and relaxing material like this really helps to escape and find piece of mind. Composed and produced by Dylan Tauber, “Sounds from Space” seems like prime score material. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear some of these in a video game or film down the line. Top tracks for me have to be “Clouds (feat. Enila)” and I’m digging the more rhythmic cuts as well like “12-16-16” and “Space groove.””
