Welcome to the lost files of Jess Van Ness. Moods for the Moody was actually the first draft of “The Last Breathe” originally recorded in 2020, but the impact of George Floyd changed the course of this release. Devastated, Jess changed almost the entire project based on what he was feeling at the time as a tribute to those that tragically lost their lives at the hands of those that are supposed to be protectors. This recording was filed away and almost forgotten. Unfortunately, the set list has also been lost. 

About Moods for the Moody, it’s a collage of deep dark twisting tracks ranging from progressive, minimal techno, afro, and melodic techno with elements of haunting vocals.

Sebando aka Sebastian, is a 34 year old DJ and home producer from Glastonbury, England. He has been influenced from a variety of different genres such as drum and bass, house, garage, hip hop, trap, synthwave and more.

I am just a dude who has a passion for putting poetry into lyrical motion, flavoring it with that good ol’ flowing boombap goodness. I’m taking hip hop back to basics, telling stories, and overloading it with soul, substance, and lyrical depth. 

I just love music, your mom, writing, and being a general socially anxious manic depressive weirdo trying to navigate the world best I can. 

Every now and then I tend to fall into some rabbit holes, fall off the earth for a bit, fall inside your mom a couple times a day, and/or get weirdly wonky with anything house/techno/psybient/LoFi/trip hop/ etc. 

And my cat’s name is Boonchowmow. And she’s probably more badass than you are. Just accept it. ✌🏾

The musical vita of Renato Tomaszio

In the pulsating nights of the 90s, Renato Tomaszio conquered the Viennese club scene as a passionate DJ. With an unmistakable sense for the pulse of the dance floor and a unique sense of musical fusion, he brought an atmosphere to shine that made the hearts of the night owls beat faster. 

His journey began with the pulsating rhythms of funk and soul, which echoed through the darkness of the clubs. As a DJ, Renato Tomaszio was always anxious to take the dancers on a journey where the soul vibrated and the music created the unforgettable moments. In the midst of the dynamic beats and harmonious melodies, he became an architect of sound, who shaped the mood and anchored the groove in people's hearts. 
The dance floors swayed under the influence of artists such as James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Earth, Wind & Fire. This era was characterized by energy, a sense of community and the undeniable magic of music.

For him, the 90s were an era of musical discoveries and experimental fusions. He celebrated the variety of sounds and expanded his horizons to turn the dance floor into a colorful collage of sounds. His sets were interspersed with energetic funk grooves, seductive soul and a touch of jazz, which formed an unmistakable musical signature. 

Over the years, his musical taste has evolved and transformed. Today, it is often found in the world of downtempo music, where time seems to stand still and the sounds float gently into the atmosphere. In his current sets, he fuses electronic elements with relaxed beats, creates space for introspective melodies and gives the listeners a break from the hectic everyday life. 

His passion for music has never weakened; rather, it has changed and evolved. As a DJ, he not only determined the beat of the dance floor, but also undertook a musical journey through the decades and genres. From the sweaty nights of the 90s to the relaxed sounds of downtempo - his journey as a musician reflects the diversity and timeless power of music.

In den pulsierenden Nächten der 90er Jahre eroberte Renato Tomaszio die Wiener Clubszene als leidenschaftlicher DJ. Mit einem untrüglichen Gespür für den Puls der Tanzfläche und einem einzigartigen Sinn für musikalische Fusion brachte er eine Atmosphäre zum Erstrahlen, die die Herzen der Nachtschwärmer höher schlagen ließ.

Seine Reise begann mit den pulsierenden Rhythmen von Funk und Soul, die durch die Dunkelheit der Clubs hallten. Als DJ war Renato Tomaszio stets darauf bedacht, die Tanzenden auf eine Reise mitzunehmen, bei der die Seele vibrierte und die Musik die unvergesslichen Momente schuf. Inmitten der dynamischen Beats und harmonischen Melodien wurde er zu einem Architekten des Klangs, der die Stimmung formte und den Groove in den Herzen der Menschen verankerte.

Die 90er Jahre waren für ihm eine Ära der musikalischen Entdeckungen und experimentellen Fusionen. Er zelebrierte die Vielfalt der Sounds und erweiterte seinen Horizont, um die Tanzfläche in eine bunte Collage von Klängen zu verwandeln.

Die Clubs vibrierten unter dem Einfluss von Künstlern wie James Brown, Aretha Franklin und Earth, Wind & Fire. Diese Ära war geprägt von Energie, Gemeinschaftsgefühl und der unbestreitbaren Magie der Musik.
