Ta-ku quietly became one of the most influential and sought-after beatmakers of the 2010s due to his inventive, emotion-rich style. His projects dedicated to major influences J Dilla and Nujabes have attracted a cult following, as did 2013’s Songs to Break Up To, and 2015’s Songs to Make Up To. Ta-ku teamed up with Wafia on (m)edian soon after, which saw them perform for the likes of triple j’s Like A Version and NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert. Across each of these releases, Ta-ku toured the world including sold out shows at MoMA PS1 in NYC, Neuehouse in Los Angeles and the Sydney Opera House. Ta-ku’s first release, 2009's Different Spaces, featured collaborations with a variety of MCs, singers, and DJs from around the world, all of whom Matthews contacted via social media. Ta-ku released numerous beat tapes and digital EPs in 2011, including the bright, funky Latenyc, which included a guest appearance from Chet Faker. “SMILE” arrives following Ta-ku’s trio of 2020 singles in “Notice”, “Cruel” featuring Panama and a downtempo version of alt-pop star BENEE’s hit “Glitter”. All tracks received immense praise, clocking over 500k+ spins across Spotify and Apple Music as well as recognition from triple j and community radio.
