not a bar, not a listening bar, not a day club and definitely not a nightclub

TON TON is the label arm of BAR TON in Bucharest. It operates at the intersection of memory and material, capturing the ephemeral moods of the bar’s soundscape in carefully pressed records: unadorned in design, precise in intent, and made to quietly endure—objects of subtle, lasting allure.

The first four releases can be found and purchased at the bar or on Bandcamp:

TON TON 01: Traces of the Wind — Petre Inspirescu
TON TON 02: Kamino — RH1
TON TON 03: Island Closest To Heaven — Liar
TON TON 04: Calypso — Plevna

Justin Shaffer is a vinyl DJ and multidisciplinary artist. 

He plays elegant, groove-driven, dance music that inspires movement and is a deep lover of the dance floor and all it represents. 

Born and raised in New York City, he now calls Berlin home. Prior chapters in Seattle and Bretagne, and a thread that still runs through San Francisco. 

His influences include the bittersweet tail of the pre-Giuliani NYC club scene, the Detroit/Berlin axis, and the relationship between contemporary classical and electronic music. 

He is also a sailor, photographer, and audio engineer.

Eli Verveine is a DJ, live artist and producer at the height of her powers.

As a DJ, Eli Verveine is widely respected for her ability to build her own dancefloor wherever she is in the world. Always engaged with the crowd, Eli sees communication as integral to the art of DJing: whether it’s warm-up, peak-time or after-hours, she captures the collective energy and applies just the right doses of drama and restraint until every dancer is locked into a unified groove. Eli’s versatile blend of genres and moods has brought her to some of the most iconic stages around, from the clubs Bassiani, Panoramabar, Fabric and Closer to the festivals Garbicz, Rainbow Disco Club, Waking Life, and delivering the prestigious closing set at Organik Festival in Taiwan. She has a B2B project, Among Trees, with Andrey Pushkarev.

As a live performer, Eli Verveine collaborates with Berlin-based DJ/musician Gwenan on the experimental live project Gin & Tonic. With a setup combining modular synthesis, drum machines, effects pedals and more, the duo tease variegated musical textures out of extended improvisations. This open-ended approach, grounded in close listening and a strong mutual understanding between the two, leads to intriguing musical dialogues in which the machines do the talking. Performances have included Garbicz and Waking Life festivals, and specialist listening events including their own dedicated Aether series in Berlin, co-founded with ISH.

As a producer, Eli Verveine’s discography stretches back to the Ness EP (2012) on Tardis Records, the label she runs with Oscar Schubaq. In 2023, she released the track ‘Morning Dub’, on a VA from Chateau Chépère, and ‘Reverie’, a track resulting from a project with school children in Basel. Eli has been having a lot of fun in the studio, so we can expect more solo material on the way.
