In a sharp swing back to the dancefloor, Touane returns to Persona with the whip-snap rhythms and high bpms of Toulousian Duck. Always one to confound, Touane is back in force as he expands his dark mix of dub, funk and house. 'Sitting In' has been a staple of Touane's recent live sets and the *clou* moment of them all.
'Sitting In' builds an intertwining forest of beat lines into the dark unknown. The soft, mossy bass throws the crashing hiss, like wind and rain through scraping leaves, into sharp relief and an already surreal edge is honed by bucolic shimmers rising like mist, whining synths and a plaintive sax riff at breakdown.
‘Lappa’ overwhelms with percussive power, a muscley dance track with the melancholy of a mountain landscape and the groaning horns of faraway valleys. Landscapes loom large through the spooky tension of these tracks.
With restraint, Touane builds 'Goro Goro' with pulse and vacuum, shadowy synth and rustling details to create a lusciously immersive environment.
