TATE SEDAR Closes Out 2024 With A Bang, Releasing ‘Coming Home (I.M.U)’

As we step into 2025, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the incredible music that closed out 2024—particularly the outstanding single ‘Coming Home (I.M.U)’ by TATE SEDAR.

Released on December 6th, ‘Coming Home (I.M.U)’ marked the sixth and final release of 2024 for the San Francisco-based artist, serving as a perfect ending to a remarkable year. TATE SEDAR treated his fans to an number of unforgettable tracks throughout the year, including ‘San Francisco’, ‘Wish I Could’, ‘Emotions’, ‘Our Goodbye’, and ‘Overload’. These songs remain fan favorites, and ‘Coming Home (I.M.U)’ is undoubtedly poised to join their ranks.

Like what came before, ‘Coming Home (I.M.U)’ delivers mainstage festival energy, blending power with euphoria. The track masterfully blends emotional, homesick female vocals with driving beats that reflect TATE SEDAR‘s roots in electro and progressive house. It’s a journey through identity and nostalgia, underpinned by the sights and sounds of his hometown, San Francisco—a theme beautifully captured in the accompanying artwork.

The story of TATE‘s signature sound dates back to 2023. With performing taking up the majority of his time, he didn’t have time to spend in the studio. By moving to Los Angeles in 2018, it allowed him to work in nightlife, traverse the commercial & underground worlds of music and educated himself in the infectious genre markets of electronic and pop within LA’s musical DNA. During this time is when TATE began to form his homemade signature sound. Although already in love with bass and future house, he became engrossed with the eclectic sounds of garage music and modern dancepop. And while learning the lay of the land in LA’s house and techno landscape, he eventually was graced with major shows from Insomniac Events and acquaintances with some of his muses: Wolfgang GartnerDeniz Koyu and Dubvision. A rare session in that summer of ‘23 led TATE to the chord progression that eventually became ‘Coming Home’. However – even with the start of catchy vocal chops and an endearing guitar hook, there was nothing quite there to anchor it.

In what ultimately became a turning point for TATE ater that year, he saw value in inspiration both old and new. He found nuance in both analog instrumentation and emulation in dance music – citing the album ‘Illusion of Depth’ (2020) by Mat Zo as a source – and realized that both the nonelectronic music (R&B, rock and hip-hop) as well as progressive sounds of his personal development could be a collective beacon for his creativity. In searching for a press shots, Angelino Heights – one of the first neighborhoods in LA with Victorian and Edwardian homes like those in SF – instandly came to his mind. He felt that it was the perfect analogy of how he finds his home both in music and his surroundings. To add to this notion, he comments:

“If anybody knows me well, they know I love San Francisco. And if you don’t – listen to my music.” – TATE SEDAR

It was finally with a third vocal take and incorporation of post-EDM elements – bells, piano, strings and mandolins – that the chord progression of ‘Coming Home’ came alive and began to germinate in production. The progression always reminded him of the running hills and drives with houses of old and new architecture within San Francisco as well as some nostalgia – leading to that large 80s-like chord stab before the second build. ‘Emotions’ ft. PSCYHEDELIC) was his first experiment in post-EDM, but ‘Coming Home’ and its vocal tied a new sense of authorship to his post-EDM sound: one that could incorporate the progressive styles of his mentors into its definition and part of himself & his home in its results.

Once again, TATE cements identity in more than just vivid production with another jubilant and radio-welcoming soundscape throughout ‘Coming Home (I.M.U)’. San Francisco has always been his north star, and although he began his journey into post-EDM this year with another track of his birthplace’s namesake, his new single elaborates on his passion of The City by The Bay and an ongoing voyage of his sound. Call it cliché or overrated, but the theme of home is timeless, and TATE’s song – even in its makeup – is nothing but that.
