Janika Tenn turns up the heat with 90s-infused floor weapon ‘going down’
Janika Tenn isn’t looking back—unless it’s to grab the dirtiest bassline from a ‘90s warehouse and slam it right into the now. Her latest cut, ‘Going Down’, lands October 3 via her own Tenn Tonik imprint, and it’s a strut, a slap, and a serotonin rush all at once. Think jacking drums, UK swing, Italian groove, disco flirtation, and that hypnotic vocal loop you’ll be humming three hours into the afters. This is Janika doing what she does best: keeping things fierce, fun, and fundamentally built for the dancefloor.
But ‘Going Down’ isn’t just a throwback—it’s a statement. With a sharp ear for crossover energy, Janika laces the track with funk-fueled low-end, cheeky strings, and techy percussion that punches above its weight. There’s a vintage nod in the sample selection, sure, but the execution is fully future-facing. It’s music for those sweat-dripping, phone-down, locked-in club moments where time evaporates and nothing exists but the beat.
This release marks the next step in the evolution of Tenn Tonik, a label with no time for trends. Artist-led and groove-obsessed, the platform has already made noise with Janika’s collab with Todd Terry (‘Laid Back’) and continues carving out its own lane: house music with teeth, personality, and stamina.
It’s a direction that makes sense for Janika, whose pedigree includes releases on D4Dance, a remix win for Armada, and serious playlist love across Spotify, Apple Music, and Beatport. She’s traded decks with titans like Armand Van Helden, Roger Sanchez, and Chris Lake, and lit up rooms from ADE to Ministry of Sound. Her Ibiza residency at Eden for Terry’s Freeze Project this summer cemented her status as a key player in the new-school house landscape, and international dates across Asia, Tallinn, and London prove the demand is global.
If ‘Going Down’ is any indication, Janika Tenn isn’t just riding the house resurgence—she’s steering it. Expect basslines with bounce, samples with sass, and a whole lot of soul as she continues turning Tenn Tonik into a proper destination label.
