Release info:
"Tonelab has teamed up with 8day Montreal to bring you this free download, and say a big thank you for all the support shown throughout this year. 

"Two Moons" is an energetic dance floor track that describes a distant world where two different moons are visible in the night sky. In the music these moons are evoked by two opposing melodies that weave and glide like ancient Indian or Middle Eastern themes, using ethereal lead sounds. All of this gives the music an otherworldly feeling. 

Structurally, the melodies are treated as two separate but related entities; first and second themes in succession, which are then developed over the course of this 9.5 minute dance floor journey. 

Enjoy :)"

We Are the Future 2023, Vol. 1

Tonelab - The Colours [3rd Avenue]

My first DIY home brew recording in my new St Andrews abode. The song came to me as I was contemplating the mp3 format and the vast loss of fidelity we commonly experience consuming music on our various gadgets and gismos. It's a longing for old school records, musicianship, vintage equipment (when things were built to last) and the all round super sonic ideal.

Katankin - Stand Up Child - Tempo Review

Rounding out the month of November, Dopamine White welcomes Tonelab to the label for his debut EP. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia Philip Rex aka Tonelab has a storied history in electronic music with previous projects Decoy, IMPS (with Sebastian Mullaert and Marcus Henriksson from Son Kite/Minilogue) and Rex'n'Chappo. 2017 would mark the debut of his Tonelab alias with an EP via long-standing Aussie imprint Open Records. The next half decade would see Tonelab choose his projects wisely, adding 3rd Avenue, Clubsonica, Flow Music and Traum to his discography. With a recently released remix for fellow countrymen Secretly Famous, Tonelab now adds Dopamine White to his resume with a three-track showcase ‘Otie'.

Written as a love poem for his son and inspired by the beauty of childhood, it is the title track ‘Otie' which gets the release underway. Sitting as one of Tonelab's most emotional yet club-effective productions to date, the Aussie producer blends punchy kick drums and warm contoured grooves with a narrative of pulsating rhythms and vibrant melodies. Hopeful sonics emerge across the first act, creating an emotive canopy of sound for a big, bold and undeniably poignant lead melody, one which may remind many of the progressive house golden years. Percolating and evolving across the main break, tension and emotion only elevate further, before eventually melting down to a euphoric finale.

Selection two ‘Starbathing' marks the EP's halfway point and pushes forward with a youthful quality. Finding a nice balance between progressive and melodic house, it's a marriage of techno-inspired beats, heartrending melodies and soulful synth phrasing which carries the journey to a celestial sounding break and rejuvenating conclusion.

The release concludes with the laid back dubbed out qualities of ‘Double Dreaming'. Opting for a deeper yet groovy approach, the Aussie artist flexes his melody crafting prowess once again, crafting a clever coax of prophetic moods across the first movement. Anticipation is at a premium as the main break takes shape, modulation flows and rises in fine fashion, eventually breaking off into a subterranean groove for a finale that's perfectly suited to a dark smoky backroom.

1.Tonelab - Otie [Dopamine White]

Katankin's debut single 'Hey Little Spider' was released on June 30th, and is a moving and vulnerable exploration of existential angst, that uses moody and evocative symbolism to delve into some very human and relatable states of being. The track’s lush electronic production by veteran producer Philip Rex (of TONELAB and Decoy fame) creates an affecting accompaniment to Helen’s unique vocals, comprising rich orchestral string lines, synth pad swells, and a deep bass drum pattern as the steady heartbeat of the song.  

The music video produced and directed by Elizabeth Fermanis was recently released on July 14th, and is a strikingly lush, dreamy and intense visual narrative that complements the song's themes in a perfect pairing of sound and imagery.
