Beat Down

Tai said the song was produced in Boys Noize’s studio in Hamburg with d.i.m., and that Steve Aoki came over from Hollywood to add his part in Germany. The track sat in the same early-2010 Dim Mak club run that also included TAI’s "Paradise Poltergeist" material. Released in 2010 on Dim Mak as part of TAI’s Beat Down EP, the track arrived as a German-linked electro-house club record from an artist already circulating through labels such as Boys Noize, Southern Fried, Turbo and Mixmash. Coverage at the time framed it as a floor-filling release from an emerging DJ with an underground following. The track remained part of TAI’s Dim Mak-era catalog and was issued in a remix EP that included a Dillon Francis remix, tying it to the early moombahton/electro crossover period. It continued to circulate in digital stores and DJ-oriented catalogs long after its release.
