ART OF TONES

dancefloor

December 18

Nite

With a prolific output of such a consistently high standard many do not realise that Art Of Tones has never released a solo artist album. 
Investing blood, sweat and tears Art Of Tones has invested many hours into this debut album release, which is not just a selection of club tracks, but a storytelling piece of music where each track compliments the others.

The opening cut 'ProleÌgomeÌnes' welcomes you into the project with jokes about sampling, showing a light-hearted attitude to the fact samples make up a large percentage of this warm and jazzy album. After the enticing intro track comes the funk-filled and familiar style of house that Art Of Tones fans both love and respect, with upbeat melodies and infectious grooves it's fair to say this release is a real feel good mood lifter. Tracks like 'A Comfort Zone' and 'Keep On Having Fun' also remind us of Art Of Tones' eclectic style leaning more towards hip hop and disco to break up the overall sound, and make it a complete listening experience spanning a variety of genres.

With touches of gospel, funk, soul and jazz this album of a melting pot of styles that with house music at its core, showcasing Art Of Tones to be one the most talented guys out there right now. Although it's primarily made with home listening in mind all the tracks on this album would also rock a dance floor!

13th Hour Records presents its debut EP: a four track V/A celebrating both the pulse of the late-night dancefloor and the starry-eyed ride home. Two tracks from Subjoi forge the A-side, the vibrant yet moody “Make Me” taking the A1 slot and spacy, hi-hat bonanza “Doin’ Fine” at A2. And influenced by the bass-heavy vibrato of 70s funk, Ricky Razu kicks off the B-side with the infinitely groovable “Reaching Out,” followed by the sultry cut “Moonlight Jam” to close out the album.

Young Gun Silver Fox are the captains of AM Waves, setting sail towards an isle where melodies soak the shoreline and grooves sway like palm trees. Their route traces a natural progression from West End Coast, an album that cast Andy Platts (Young Gun) and Shawn Lee (Silver Fox) as musical virtuosos of SoCal-infused pop. AM Waves does more than duplicate the perfection of West End Coast. It improves it.

“Kingston Boogie” is the first single from “AM Waves”. The Seaweed Horns join Young Gun Silver Fox as they detour to the dancefloor. Shawn explains the track's genesis, "I was thinking, what have we not done yet? We definitely should get an AOR disco thing happening. I quite like disco. The beat is so metronomic that it allows you to be really sophisticated on top. 'Kingston Boogie' just laid itself out. I call it 'midnight disco.'" 

“AM Waves” will be released as LP, CD, DL and stream on Légère Recordings on May 11, 2018.

Ludovic Llorca aka Art Of Tones is the owner of cult albums from 90s and 00s, 'Newcommer' and 'The Garden'. Llorca has been releasing on the labels such as F Communications, PIAS, 20:20 Vision and Phonica, and his tracks are played by some of the biggest artist in the music industry. 

What follows is an Klubikon interview before his performance at Voi'Sa festival on the Croatian island of Brač. For this occasion Llorca also recorded an exclusive studio mix for Klubikon Podcast, that he has described like this:

"It's always a bit weird to record a dance music podcast home alone, after all, it's a kind of music to be played and shared in clubs with many people. So, when I record a podcast I see it as an opportunity to play some of the recent tracks I like the most. It’s like a snapshot of my current musical taste.  Except that, as you're not in the club you don’t get the dance floor’s energy, and I think this is why podcasts always sound a little bit more mellow than usual club sets."

Playing an important role in the careers of artists such as HNNY and Crackazat, the label has released many outstanding tracks, and worked with everyone from Soulphiction to Terrence Parker. 

One of the label's most popular artists is Art Of Tones who along with numerous Local Talk releases has also worked with other imprints such as Lazy Days Music, Defected and 20/20 Vision.

With a prolific output of such a consistently high standard many do not realise that Art Of Tones has never released a solo artist album, but with this new LP on Local Talk that is soon to change.

Investing blood, sweat and tears Art Of Tones has invested many hours into this debut album release, which is not just a selection of club tracks, but a storytelling piece of music where each track compliments the others.
