JANIKA TENN DROPS 90S-INSPIRED HOUSE TRACK ‘GOING DOWN’ ON TENN TONIK

Janika Tenn continues to build her reputation as a forward-thinking House artist with the release of her latest track ‘Going Down’ on her own label, Tenn Tonik. Inspired by her love for 90s club culture, the track combines driving basslines, jacking drums, strings, and playful vocal touches to create a sound that feels both nostalgic and modern. With influences spanning Italian and UK House styles, ‘Going Down’ showcases Janika’s signature blend of groove and energy.

Incorporating funky and Disco elements into her productions, ‘Going Down’ features rolling bass, techy beats, and a classic sample that gives the track a distinct personality. A great club track through and through, it captures that “nothing else matters right now” feeling on the dancefloor.

Tenn Tonik embodies a feel-good, House-driven ethos, emphasising groove, personality, and vocal-led tracks. From jacking cuts to disco-infused grooves, the label focuses on timeless energy rather than fleeting trends. Artist-led and highly curated, Tenn Tonik is a home for music that represents Janika Tenn’s identity without compromise, offering both DJs and listeners tracks that are built for the dancefloor and designed to move people.

Janika Tenn has already made waves with releases on Defected’s D4Dance, winning an Armada remix competition for Maxim Lany and receiving support on Beatport, Spotify, and Apple Music editorial playlists. She has shared the stage with legends such as Todd Terry, Armand Van Helden, Roger Sanchez, Chris Lake, Mark Knight, and David Penn, and performed at major events including ADE, Ministry of Sound, XOYO, and Miami Music Week. Most recently, she launched Tenn Tonik with ‘Laid Back’ alongside Todd Terry, followed by solo releases that set the tone for the label’s sound.

This summer, Janika Tenn held a residency in Ibiza at Eden for Todd Terry’s Freeze Project, and will continue touring internationally with dates across Asia. She is also beginning new residencies in Tallinn and London, further cementing her presence on the global House circuit.

‘Going Down’ will be released on October 3rd, 2025, via Tenn Tonik, combining 90s influences with Janika Tenn’s distinctive approach to production.

TOM VEK RECRUITS IS TROPICAL FOR NEXT WE HAVE SOUND REMIXED SINGLE

“I AIN'T SAYING MY GOODBYES (IS TROPICAL REMIX)”
OUT NOW via STRATASONIC RECORDS

WE FOUND SOUND REMIXED OUT OCTOBER 2, 2025

Tom Vek shares the latest single from We Have Sound Remixed—the 20th anniversary reimagining of his cult debut album, arriving October 2 via StrataSonic Records.

Following Dave Glass Animals’ remix of “C-C (You Set the Fire in Me)” and Everything Everything’s rework of “Nothing But Green Lights,” London-based indie-electronic outfit Is Tropical takes the reins with a fresh interpretation of “I Ain’t Saying My Goodbyes.” Known for their genre-blurring sound throughout the 2010s, the group infuses the track with propulsive rhythms, raw textures, and a dancefloor-ready edge that casts the original in a new light.

“This song was on my soundtrack of leaving my hometown and moving up to London. Great memories of Shoreditch when it was full of squats and club line-ups were so eclectic. When there were still clubs in central London, this track was always played at FROG by the iconic DJs Danny Varley & Tom Frog! I remember the time fondly with a filter of K cider, brogues kept together with duct tape and no socks, regretamine and of course strobes. Shame that the camera phone was at early development as we’d have more archives to cringe through; as the glow sticks fade into lower back problems. But it be a seed that turns into the dancetree our children will rave under!” — IS TROPICAL

Emerging from South London squats in 2009, IS TROPICAL carved out a cult following with their jagged and euphoric, sharp-edged pop with a nomadic sensibility. Tagged at different times as indie, electronic, punk, and “doss-pop,” IS TROPICAL signed early on to beloved French brand/record label Kitsuné and quickly became international adventurers, touring everywhere from Ghana to Mongolia, Russia to Peru, and sharing stages with LCD Soundsystem, Sonic Youth, Hole, and Klaxons.

We Have Sound Remixed is a rare kind of tribute, curated by Vek himself, with each artist handpicked and invited to reinterpret the record that helped shape their creative DNA. The result is a celebration of We Have Sound not only as a pivotal album of the 2000s, but as a blueprint for the fusion of guitar music, DIY electronica, and sharp-edged pop that now defines a generation of UK and alternative acts.

With contributions from alt-J’s Gus Unger-Hamilton, Everything Everything, Porij, Is Tropical, Anna Prior, Dutch Uncles, Baths, Vivid Fever Dreams, and Coby Sey, this project cements Tom Vek’s role as a cult figure whose music remains eerily current — and deeply influential — two decades on.
