From festival-ready drops to deeply personal storytelling, TATE SEDAR introduces a bold new sound that might just redefine the next era of dance music.
There’s a new wave building in the world of electronic music, and leading it is TATE SEDAR. With his debut EP THIS IS POST-EDM, the LA-based producer takes a massive leap forward—both musically and conceptually—by carving out a space for his own sound. Call it what it is: post-EDM. And it’s not just a clever title—it’s a fully formed identity.
Following a strong rebrand in early 2024, SEDAR’s rise has been anything but quiet. From landing radio play for “Our Goodbye” to supporting R3HAB over NYE weekend with Insomniac Events, he’s built serious momentum. Now, he’s channeling that energy into a 5-track project that fuses the nostalgia of the EDM era with the versatility of today’s genre-bending sound design.
The EP Tracks
“San Francisco” kicks things off with a nod to SEDAR’s roots. It’s funk-forward and groove-heavy—layered with influences from Motown, hip-hop, and rock, all of which shaped his upbringing. More than an opener, this track sets the tone for what post-EDM could be: part retro, part futuristic, and all emotion.
“Emotions (ft. P$YCHEDELIC)” is where things really start to flex. It blends tech house, lo-fi hip-hop, and trap in a way that feels fluid and fresh. Featuring viral artist P$YCHEDELIC, this track marks a shift in SEDAR’s artistry—a move away from electro house nostalgia and toward a more sample-driven, dynamic sound. It’s already pushing 180K streams on Spotify, and it’s easy to see why.
“Our Goodbye (with Liv Kennedy)” might be the emotional high point of the EP. Co-written during the pandemic with his college friend Liv Kennedy, the track flips the traditional breakup song on its head. It’s upbeat, summery, and surprisingly optimistic. With plays on SiriusXM BPM and chart love on Nexus Radio, it proves that emotional storytelling and festival-ready production can absolutely coexist.
“Coming Home (I.M.U)” brings it back to where SEDAR’s journey started. Progressive house roots meet reflective lyrics in a track that feels like a love letter to both his past and his path forward. The vocals act as a turning point, both sonically and spiritually, giving the project one of its most powerful emotional moments.
Finally, we get “Dream (ft. Otto Palmborg)”—the crown jewel of the EP. Ethereal, electropop-infused, and heart-hitting, this one feels like the realization of everything SEDAR’s been building. Premiered on KCRW in LA, the track features soaring vocals from Finnish artist Otto Palmborg and captures the type of love that only feels real in dreams. It’s cinematic, it’s timeless, and above all, it’s a perfect closer.
The Vision Behind the Sound
So what is post-EDM? SEDAR describes it as a progressive style that blends the big-room emotion of 2010s EDM with analog instruments, live sampling, and cross-genre storytelling. It’s nostalgic but forward-thinking. Personal, yet big enough for the mainstage.
And THIS IS POST-EDM delivers exactly that. Each track represents a different chapter of SEDAR’s life—whether it’s his cultural roots in “San Francisco,” emotional growth in “Emotions,” or creative rebirth in “Coming Home.” The EP isn’t just a sonic experiment; it’s a snapshot of his evolution as an artist.
Why You Should Pay Attention
With over 8 million plays across DSPs and social media, TATE SEDAR isn’t just building hype—he’s building something real. His journey from self-taught producer to playing alongside names like Don Diablo, Dada Life, and Disco Lines shows just how far he’s come, and THIS IS POST-EDM proves he’s only getting started.
This isn’t just another drop in the EDM ocean. It’s a signal flare—a reminder that dance music is constantly evolving, and artists like SEDAR are pushing it in exciting new directions.
Whether you’re into house, pop, or just looking for something that hits a little deeper, THIS IS POST-EDM is worth a front-to-back listen. It’s introspective, innovative, and incredibly well-executed.
