12 Toben - Critical Contrast

Straight from the Romanian forest rave roots.  Since the legendary HartyPard gatherings of 2014, he’s been channeling the wild, unfiltered spirit of jungle dnb and Tekno underground .

Hailing from Arad, Tobe:n, one of the next generation of artists, has been cutting his teeth as a DJ since 2012 for Romania’s Freenetik Kru and Bass Invaders events. It’s only in the last couple of years that he has found himself stepping to the fore as a producer with releases for Conspired Within and Din Is Noise. Tracks like ‘Forest Beings’ and ‘Parallax’ have announced his arrival into the arena following established countrymen Dyl and K-Rob. 

“I get my inspiration from lots of artists. Since I’ve got into the world of music production and sound design I’ve developed this passion for all sorts of unearthly sounds. There are lots of passionate and unique artists, truly devoted to the music they make and I find a bit of myself in all of them.” – Tobe:n. 

He is an artifact of the modern 170 BPM movement, conscious and referencial to the modern masters and not overly concerned with old idols. -Words by Alexander Foy from One.Seventy
