1) Tatanka Biography
It was around 1993 when he first got in contact with Dance/House music.
Fascinated as he was by this scene, he started mixing records together with a friend who occassionally used to organize some private parties among student friends.
In 1995 he got his first opportunity to be a residence-DJ at the Alhambra Club on the Sunday's afternoon.
Two years later he had his first collaboration with Radio Mare Imperiale which introduced him also for some gigs at the Imperiale di Tirenia in Pisa.
After that it took about another year to see him in control on the decks at the nocturnal clubs.
The first [and only] club which saw him Bing resident on Saturdays was the Evolution Planet in Busseto and, in time, Tatanka's LiveSets made their round across the Italian nation... which eventually brought him bookings at clubs such as "Shock", "Domina" and the "TntKamasutra".
Nowadays Tatanka refuses to be a resident at any club, in order to stay available to play his LiveSets every Saturdaynight in a different corner of the beautifull Italian nation together with the Free Spirit family.
Other than the clubs as mentioned above Tatanka also worked with; [Not in order of appearance]
RegiaMania, Ecu, Bolgia, Cyborg, Hollywood, il Pach�Paradise, Italghisa, Parhasar, Due, Dupl�Taverna Jory, La Gare, Notorius, Ninfa Egeria,Areamito, Shibuya, Florida, Extravaganza, JeJ, il Tempio, Stargate, Blue Kaos, U-boot 96, People, Sportin Club, Sundance Event, Boom, la Canniccia, Street Parade Italia and many more...
Other than this he has also played at events such as; X-Qlusive Italy, QlubTempo-14, Frequence Festival,
Defqon1 2005,XX-lerator, Hardbass and the Swiss Titanic event.
DJ for about 12 years now and producer for about 7 years and made Mixes and ReMixes for RecordLabels like; OverTek, ZanzaTraxx, Pasta, DjU, Sigma, Wicked, Activa, Loud e Clear and many more.
With those he has released some of his masters under some other aliasses like; Tatact, Tatarola, The Stomper, Pastaman, Bison, LiquidFighters, PokoPunk, Kam, Kx3 and many more...
2) The meaning of 'Tatanka':
Tatanka is a Native American word from the Cheyenne tribe and means; Bison.
In ancient times the Bisons romed the American prairies in hurds, and as they passed in a running stampede... the ground trembled along with it.Homegrown in Denver Colorado, Tatanka is a three piece specializing in the sounds of dub, progressive reggae and electro. Heavy Drum & Bass grooves originating from within provide the pulse for the party as the music invites you to get down and dirty. These Denver players have shared the stage with many major national acts and continue to push they're sound to the next level. As a young band they persist to impress people all over the nation and have a following in states all over the USA. Soon to be major players in dub, these boys will show you a sound like you have never heard or seen before. Keep an ear out for Tatanka as they make their way to a speaker near you.

100 Weight
Tatanka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
falls upon me
can't seem to get enough
I can barely breathe
pressure has been weighing down
I'm too blind to see
100 weight is during down
it falls upon me
it doesn't take much
to live the life you love
you be persistent
in pursuit of it all
you can't give up its not enough
it seems a bit rough
but know you in control of it all
100 weight is pouring down
falls upon me
can't seem to figure out
what is going to be
just like a sail boat
with no wind at sea
100 weight is during down
it falls upon me
it doesn't take much
to live the life you love
you be persistent
in pursuit of it all
you can't give up its not enough
it seems a bit rough
but know you in control of it all
The lyrics of Tatanka's song "100 Weight" convey a sense of struggle and pressure imposed on the singer. The title of the song is a metaphor for a heavy burden that has been weighing the singer down. The imagery of weight pouring down creates a sense of being overwhelmed, suffocated, and unable to move forward. The repetition of the phrase "falls upon me" emphasizes the idea that the pressure is not only external but also internal, as it affects the singer's ability to breathe and see clearly.
The second half of the song offers a message of hope and encouragement to the listener. The singer argues that it doesn't take much to live the life you love, but one has to be persistent and not give up, even when things seem rough. The phrase "know you in control of it all" empowers the listener to take charge of their destiny and overcome the weight that is pulling them down. The metaphor of the sailboat with no wind at sea suggests that sometimes one can feel adrift and at the mercy of external forces, but with perseverance and determination, one can navigate the storms of life and find a clear path forward.
