THE ROAD TO “COMING HOME”
2023 had been a game-changer for TATE SEDAR. With a packed performance schedule, he reached new heights as a live artist, but the time away from the studio led to questions about his sound and artistic identity. It wasn’t until a rare session in the summer of that year that the seeds of “Coming Home” began to take shape.
The track started with a chord progression and a few vocal chops, but TATE struggled to find the missing pieces to bring it to life. Drawing from his San Francisco roots and the eclectic influences he’d absorbed since moving to Los Angeles, he began weaving in elements that defined his post-EDM style—bells, strings, mandolins, and rich piano layers. The result was a track that captured both his past and present.
The artwork and themes tied directly to TATE’s story. Inspired by Angelino Heights, a Los Angeles neighborhood reminiscent of Victorian San Francisco architecture, the visual concept served as a metaphor for finding home in both music and surroundings. “If anybody knows me well, they know I love San Francisco,” TATE shared. “And if you don’t—listen to my music.”
AN ANTHEM FOR THE AGES
“Coming Home (I.M.U)” was more than a dancefloor hit; it was deeply personal. The lush, cinematic production mirrored TATE’s memories of San Francisco—rolling hills, eclectic architecture, and moments of introspection. Every layer of the track, from its 80s-style chord stabs to its soaring second build, was crafted to evoke nostalgia and longing while pushing the boundaries of progressive house.
The single also showcased TATE’s post-EDM evolution, blending acoustic and electronic textures in a way that felt fresh yet familiar. While tracks like “Emotions” hinted at this direction, “Coming Home” solidified his ability to innovate within the genre while paying homage to his influences, including Wolfgang Gartner, Deniz Koyu, and DubVision.
