Taroug is the solo project by drummer and electronic music producer Tarek Zarroug. With roots in the suburbs of the Tunisian desert and having grown up in Germany, Taroug‘s music seamlessly blends together disparate elements to create a cohesive whole, with pulsating rhythms of organic electronic drums fusing with an array of rare and exotic instruments from around the world, along with field recordings, analog synthesizers and hypnotic vocals, to transport listeners to a world both strange and comforting. Following the release of his 2020 EP, "Perpetual," as well as a number of notable remixes for artists such as Archive and Jules Ahoi , Taroug has continued to refine his musical aesthetic. This has led to a collaboration with Denovali Records for the release of his debut album. DARTS & KITES Taroug‘s debut album Darts & Kites, released on Denovali Records, draws inspiration from the Penrose tiling and explores themes of change and transformation. Fascinated from the pattern‘s unending possibilities, Taroug incorporated its infinite permutations not only into the album‘s nine tracks, but also in the cover art design. Experimental and abstract soundscapes are enriched by oriental influences, collected field recordings, pulsating dark beats and hypnotic vocals.
