Amsterdam’s Toman joins Cécille Records this August with his four-track EP, ‘Dolce Far Niente.’
Toman has been steadily rising up the ranks of underground House music in recent years, racking up releases on the likes of Meta, Eastenderz, Cuttin’ Headz and NO ART as well as touring the globe and bringing his raw, stripped back style to many reputed clubs and festival across multiple continents.
‘Courtyard’ opens and sees Toman fuse together crunchy drums with an amalgamation of plucked bass tones and pulsating subs alongside filter house synth licks and vocal hooks all dynamically evolving throughout its eight minute duration. ‘De Bongo Man’ as the name would suggest shifts focus towards a more tribal feel, merging organic percussion atop subtly unfurling synth tones, dubbed out stabs, resonant flutters, a weighty low end drive, and sturdy rhythm section.
Title-cut ‘Dolce Far Niente’ follows next on the flip-side, a high octane house cut fuelled by a robust drum groove, twitchy synth lines, breathy vocal chants and multilayered, gritty stab lines. ‘Good Old Sunny Day’ then rounds out the release on a more stripped-back tip via bumpy reduced drums, choppy vocals and airy, fluttering chord sequences.
You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘De Bongo Man’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
