Why ‘Take Me There’ Is the Perfect First Chapter for 1001 Recordings

Take Me There marks the debut release on 1001 Recordings, the new label created by 1001Tracklists and Tomorrowland Music. The track brings together Sick Individuals, Matisse & Sadko, and Third Party in a long-awaited collaboration rooted in progressive house.

Their history includes years of back-to-back sets, festival moments, and shared fanbases. This release reflects a clear direction from the label: to highlight productions that are built for real-world play and backed by artist-driven community support.

A Long-Awaited Collaboration That Feels Personal

I’ve seen all three of these artists live, and that’s part of what makes this release feel special. Sick Individuals at VOID Club earlier this year brought back a lot of early progressive house memories.

Third Party have been a personal favorite for years. I’ve caught them multiple times, with their recent set at VOID Water Fest still fresh in my head. Matisse & Sadko also performed at that same event, and seeing them live was a reminder of how much emotion they pack into every drop.

These DJs have crossed paths before, both on lineups and behind the decks. They’ve played back-to-back sets in different combinations over the years, especially at festivals across Europe and Asia. The chemistry has always been there. “Take Me There” marks the first time all three names are on one official release, and it somehow manages to sound exactly like what longtime fans might have hoped for.

This isn’t just another track. It’s the debut release on 1001 Recordings, a new label launched by 1001Tracklists and Tomorrowland Music. That makes this drop even more symbolic: a progressive house collaboration chosen to set the tone for an entire new imprint rooted in community-driven curation. For anyone who grew up watching these artists evolve across platforms like 1001Tracklists and Tomorrowland’s stages, it’s a full-circle moment.

A Collaboration Years in the Making

While this is the first official release featuring all three names together, Third Party, Matisse & Sadko, and Sick Individuals have already shown their chemistry onstage. Most recently, they went back-to-back-to-back at World DJ Festival Korea 2025, where the crowd erupted when “Take Me There” played. That moment quickly circulated across social media, especially among progressive house communities, confirming that this was more than just a live set teaser.

These artists have shared stages before. Matisse & Sadko and Third Party have delivered multiple back-to-back sets over the years, including special appearances on One World Radio and at European club shows. Sick Individuals has also consistently played in similar lineups and festivals, often with overlapping fan bases and similar emotional build-ups in their sets. Their connection through progressive house has always been clear. This collaboration simply made it official.

Now that “Take Me There” is out, it feels like a long-awaited payoff for anyone who followed those live performances. It is not just a one-time linkup. It captures years of shared history and musical alignment, brought together into a track that already proved its power live before ever being released.

Why This Collaboration and Label Matter

The release of “Take Me There” is more than just three names on a track. It represents a meeting point of styles that have shaped progressive house for over a decade. Third Party’s emotionally charged builds, Matisse & Sadko’s melodic precision, and Sick Individuals’ festival-tested arrangements all come through clearly in the final product.

As the first release on 1001 Recordings, the track also sets the tone for what the label aims to do. By spotlighting collaborative productions tied to real-world DJ set moments, 1001Tracklists and Tomorrowland Music are grounding the label in the community that has supported these artists from the start.

For fans of progressive house, this moment is a reminder that the genre is still evolving, still uniting artists, and still finding space in major festival sets worldwide. “Take Me There” is a timestamp in that journey.

Electric Love Festival may be over, but there’s a cure for the post-ELF blues: the Opening Ceremony is now available on YouTube.

Electric Love Festival is your gateway back to that indescribable feeling. Reconnect with the magic you experienced during those four unforgettable days. Celebrate the friendships that were made or deepened. Listen again to the songs you danced, laughed, and lived to. Let the memories come flooding back.

The Opening Ceremony delivers 18 minutes of pure goosebumps. It is the essence of the Electric Love experience – the emotional heart of the festival. Now available on YouTube, it’s a reminder of what those four July days truly stood for: Time with the family is priceless.

Made in Salzburg

Over 100 contributors worked for months to bring the Opening Ceremony to life. It was produced by Salzburg-based producers and DJs RageMode and Dan Lee – the latter performed live on stage himself, playing electric guitar alongside drummer Manuel Pink. Also contributing to the goosebumps: vocalist Chrillio, a student choir, an orchestra, samba dancers, and many more talented musicians.

New this year was the integration of N.E.L.A. (Neural Entity for Love & Awakening), a futuristic, heart-driven character symbolizing the connection between technology, nature, and human motions, brought to life through the energy of music, light, and the crowd.
