Touane

Bill EP

Sometimes in the middle of hard work in the studio, a producer forgets how it all started and approaches music making tools to play. Like a kid. Like it's the first time. One week in spring on a bright day at eight in the morning, Touane found himself playing in a surreal space between the city and his mind. Sunny outside; in his windowless studio building Marco had to find a way to evoke the sun.

At the end of the week he had three special tracks, sweet music he didn't really understand or know what to make of. The music had come by itself. It needed no need desperate post production. Even listening again afterwards proved the tracks needed no further work.

At the end of that same week, Marco became a father. Then he understood better what sort of emotions were in that sound. It seemed magic: the timing, the way it appeared, and for the personal meaning that those moments had for him.

Persona could not disagree. The freedom granted by not investing in an increasingly narrow vinyl market gave us the opportunity to release this small jewel. It won't pack dancefloors, it won't top charts, but hey, winter's coming and we all need a bit of warmth to carry on through the next months.

This is something for the evening you might decide, "Well, tonight I'm going to just stay home."
