专辑简介

Touane is Marco Tonni, born in 1979 in Rimini, a tourist-choked seaside town in the north of Italy. After playing bass and guitar in rock bands during his youth, he began to experiment with electronic music at 17, creating music to reconfigure the incomplete memories of his favourite songs into a new and signature sound. He spent his university years in the more stimulating town of Bologna. Here, Marco started collaborating with other musicians with whom he achieved small but important successes in the city, focusing on DJing and performing live at the famous Link club as well as exchanging ideas and opinions about software, production techniques not to mention their love for music. During his final two years in Bologna, he worked to spread a fresh kind of do-it-yourself musical aesthetic and since moving to Berlin has been releasing on Persona and Lan Muzic amoung others. Last year Lichen records had already asked our good friend Marco Toni aka Touane to create remix for Nooncat's 'Aquaerobics" track. The result was outstanding. This year we are proud to present full release from Touane 'Usedom EP', which contains three of the maestro's artistic tracks plus remix from master of the deep John Tejada. While 'Uovo' and 'Usedom' will fit more deep DJ set, - original mix of 'CanstopwhenIwant' and the rhythm'n'melody rich Tejada's remix will definitely work the dancefloor at prime time. Normally associated with his peers in techno from Detroit, Europe and elsewhere, John Tejada has embraced electronic music as a personal frontier, expanding on his resume as a techno recording artist as producer, remixer, DJ, and label owner. Known for crafting a brand of subtle, musical techno, his recorded output ranges across tempo and genre lines, from chilled out affairs with spacious arrangements to pulsating, densely layered, deeply energetic tracks that work magnificently in the hands of DJs as well as on the home stereo. Over the years, John has enjoyed a series of releases on European labels like A13, Multiplex, and Generations R&S. In the fall of 1996 he started his own label, Palette Recordings as an outlet to release his own productions without having anyone tell him how to do it. With dozens of singles and remixes to his credit, he has also produced full-length albums for Playhouse, Palette, Plug Research, deFocus, Moods and Grooves, Immigrant and A13. His latest album release was the incredible ?Where? for his own Palette Recordings.
