DJ & Electronic Music Producer 🎧

Old artist name: Touzani Reda

I've loved music ever since I can remember. I have played numerous musical instruments since I was a kid, the violin being the instrument I was best at and played to a decent level and attended the Royal College of Music at the age of 10.

I've been making music since the days of Mod music / Tracker music on the legendary Atari ST and the Commodore Amiga. The days when CPU resources were minuscule but you could still whack out a decent tune. It was a great time for music lovers and future music producers, DJ's and artists.

As for my taste in music, I'm a huge fan of R&B, Soul, Funk, LO-FI, Vaporwave, 80s and House but enjoy and appreciate almost all genres, although there are a handful I'm not so keen on!

As for my music, my aspergers/autism insists on quite a bit of melodic repetition as you may or may not notice and also a good mix of genres.

Vocals and backing harmonies are mostly self-recorded (a million takes per line 😆), followed by enhancement using AI voice models to change my voice, compensate for natural imperfections and improve vocal output. In other words, I don't like my own voice but I can hold a tune 😁. Autotune is applied, open source post-processing tools are then used, prior to the mastering stage. Artwork is AI because Photoshop takes too long, sowwy!

I hope you enjoy my music and if you do then please feel free to like, repost and comment. I would really appreciate it :)
