Tonal 011
Various Artists Tonal 011 SUB_tl 085 It’s been a long while since our last Tonal compilation, five years to be exact, and it’s also been a long while since label boss Leandro Gamez’s last track on the label, so we are double happy. This mini compilation features long time label veterans, like the aforementioned Leandro Gámez, Bando, Groof and Deepnaut. All four artists are a fundamental part of techno history locally in Spain and worldwide, so they don’t need further introduction just check discogs and you’ll get the picture. Release starts with Bando and his track Garage Hermético, a proper complex and funk techno exercise made of rugged FM synth layers over a shuffled groove, constantly evolving and mutating a guaranteed dancefloor burner. Next comes Groof with Strom playing with industrial flavored broken rhythms spiced with metallic Fm synths and occasional bleeps. Additional percussive layered heavily reverberated complete the equation. Deepnaut provides his personal touch on techno with Freaq FM, always blending harmonies with hypnosis in a rolling chord infused number, galactic and classic at same time. Release closes with Leandro Gámez and Dengue, shuffled grooves, mental sequences, vocal snippets and classic chords in timeless techno workout.
