Amsterdam’s Toman is set to release his first EP since 18 months ‚Dolce Far Niente‘ on Cécille Records!
Dutch producer and DJ Toman, based in the country’s capital, Amsterdam, has been steadily rising up the ranks of
underground house music in recent years. He has released tracks on labels such as Meta, Eastenderz, Cuttin’ Headz, and NO
ART. As a rising star in the Netherlands, Toman tours the globe, bringing his raw, stripped-back style to many of the hottest
locations, including reputed clubs and festivals 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, with the vocal on the track provided by Toman himself, 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 a sturdy rhythm section.
Title-cut ‘Dolce Far Niente’ follows next on the flip-side, a high-octane house cut fueled 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.
