Thrill Me

Thrill Me (Original Version by Junior Jack)

Tony Lionni presents Straight Ahead Ep, his next soulful deep-house stomper on Goldmin Music

This guy shouldn't need any introduction for house music fellows as the british born artist has been one of the most creative deep-house producers of the last few years. 
Tony Lionni, Liverpool born but Manchester bred, enjoyed a prolific and near-faultless debut year as a producer in 2008 thanks to his uplifting take on house/tech house, Detroit techno and all things deep. With a raft of releases on labels such as Ostgut Ton, Figure, Mule, Versatile and Wave, Lionni couldn't have scripted it better himself.

This new "Straight Ahead" is a pure splendor 3 tracker deep-house ep. 
Our man succeeds where many fail, most likely because Tony is a syncere and passioned guy, more focused on the intrinsic quality of his music than his promo-business skills and this kind of devotion and sincerity means a lot to us. 
With this new record, he's combining that brightful early 90's house feeling with a more contemporary, massive and effective approach, delivering an hammering energy yet keeping the dreamy lushness that makes this kind of stuff so charmful.

And the name of this Ep suits well the music since it's exactly what these few cuts get to spread..
It actually goes straight ahead, making the listener focus on the main loop while a lot of things are happening beside, behind, under, subtly but surely, avoiding the monotony which many today's house productions suffer of.
That's what real deep house is all about and Tony proves his amazing savoir faire and personality again!

How you feeling leads the way! A proper house weapon and very stomping cut that will please the foots as well as the lips that will rather go like this :) than this :(
Yes.. that's not a very lyrical description but that says it all! Ain't it? We kept the long sentences for the other tracks!

Oasis keeps the same vibe but in an even brighter way, a sublime uplifting track which swings between so-called "nu-disco" and deep-house (in the true sense of the word). The beat starts and you feel like a flashback to the 80's but not that quite common, outdated, boring flashback, No! Actually more of a beautiful trip to the 80's as you're flying over this disco era but you're into a futuristic aircraft, you got it now?

Before night falls.. Bang! you've just been kicked out of the club and oh! you landed at Panorama Bar at 10AM. Even the walls are sweating, the atmosphere is tight, epic. The music that escapes out of the speakers is definitely having an effect on your mind, your body, ok let's add "soul".. almost hypnotizing you.. You hear that subtle contrast between that energy, that bass avoiding you to sit and that delightful mix of harmonies, melodies, vocals perfectly arranged that make you feel like right here, right now, there's absolutely no need to care about how to get back home, how to wake up and go to work, how to pay your bills, why the world's so wild..

1 month after his Chronicles part.1, our man is back again with a second collection of truly different tunes.

Stephane Joulin alias Chronophone is not what we can call a "newcomer" as our man has been carefully working year after year to create his own sound, he actually started his new "Chronophone" project back in 2010 in order to bring a greater depth to his music.

As influenced by the futuristic and timeless touch of Detroit as the epic and more modern, call it post-iphone sound of today's European scene, he quickly got the attention of not so unknown guys..

End of 2012, Derrick May played his unreleased track "Eiffel in love" in his "Behind the dance" Mix Cd. This unique uplifting track seems to be quite unanimous as later, the one and only François K (Body & Soul) mentioned this track as one of the 10 greatest electronic music pieces ever produced! - his words: "Mesmerising trumpet work, this is forward-thinking techno the way it should be - dripping with electronic soul and totally spaced-out. Makes it easy to turn the dance floor into the 'cosmic unknown.'"

Part. 1 which features that "Eiffel in love" among others was a great introduction to the man's magic and mystery and this new part.2 only confirms the initial impression.. Forget the so-called genres, it isn't techno, deep-house nor minimal (even though, your shop may need to classify it), It's Chronophone!

It all starts with the epic "Ville lumière".. Can you imagine yourself walking down the streets, in a big city at nightfall with a touch of wind grazing your face? Maybe you can't but whatever you may actually feel listening to it, you couldn't refuse to let yourself go to this flowing track. There's some magic into it, really!

"Bahia Inglesa" is another balearic-house jam almost as memorable as "Eiffel in love".. You get the deal from the very first seconds.. LUSH! Stéphane has actually always been into a very contemporary use of brass instruments.. Stephane is a master when it comes to divert any acoustic instrument from it's usual role. Ok, we lost you guys, it's too technical...

A big challenge not to use superlatives again with "Belle".. It's the first track we listened from Chronophone in our studio, we crushed on this one from the very first listen and we knew we had to work with this man.. Not sure if we ever heard such a perfect mix of acoustic, synthetic, organic sounds before.. Everything in it's right place..

Last number, "Julia" is another impressive organic tune, slightly deeper in the real goddamn sense of the word, real avant-gardiste track giving us the chills right now while listening to it and writing this description/self-review text. Cheers!

1 year after his gorgeous "Straight ahead" Ep, Tony Lionni gets back on Goldmin Music with a softer and deeper one "A photograph of you".
A very distinctive and insightful ep about the passing of time including plainly heartbreaking house tracks as he did so well up to now.
We've been amazed by Tony's music since the beginning as whatever he does, there's always a promise of something unexpected and a high dreaming potential..
That's what it's all about. House music for the 21st century, more conscious and lucid than ever with a hunk of optimism and faith in what the future can bring.

This musical tale starts with the unmistakable "Remember back when".. As it's name suggests, it might be an ideal flashback track, bringing back a warm and stained 90's vibe.
However, Tony is the master of evoking both the familiar and exploring the unknown, feeding your sense nostalgia while simultaneously inspiring visions of a hopeful future
As always, it's a perfect balance between dreamscape and reality as that irresistible groove deserves a very physical reaction, the urge to dance while it slowly brings out your inner-child.

"There's no future in the past" continues in a more ear-catching way thanks to his perfect straightforward arpeggio constantly pushing you combined with a round, dry and heavy bass quickly elevating the track to it's cruise altitude. The perfect example of a contemporary different dancefloor tune. 

"Together" brings your imagination back on track. Probably more abstract and hypnotic nonetheless it's power will be all the stronger.  It feels like a wonderful 6 minutes playground experience, high in the sky, a representational, half-conscious musical trip that makes your mind wonder.
