EPISODE 018 — KOTSI & AHNERT
Lifelong Friends. Timeless Sound.

This week on MusicLab we welcome a powerful creative duo from the heart of Mexico City — Kotsi & Ahnert. Two professional actors by trade, but at their core: music lovers, sonic storytellers, and lifelong friends.

Their shared journey began back at the age of 12, bonding over a mutual passion for sound. From discovering the raw pulse of Front 242 and The Human League in their early years to diving headfirst into the world of electronic music, their connection grew stronger — eventually evolving into a collaborative music project that launched in 2019.

Kotsi & Ahnert bring a cinematic approach to DJing, blending the emotional depth of progressive house with the immersive energy of melodic house & techno. Their sets are carefully constructed narratives — filled with texture, tension, and release. Every transition tells a story. Every drop carries intention.

This exclusive mix for MusicLab showcases their refined taste, stage sensibility, and emotional awareness — shaped by both their artistic background and their deep friendship. It's more than music — it’s a reflection of shared history, emotion, and the beauty of creative synchronicity.

📍 Recorded in Mexico City. Delivered worldwide.
🎶 Welcome to the world of Kotsi & Ahnert.

Tony Toscano is a nationally recognized movie critic and film historian who has been reviewing films for over 4 decades. Tony grew up in Southern California, just outside Los Angeles.

While attending Jr. High School, Toscano began writing a weekly movie review column for his school paper. Directly because of his weekly column, Tony was asked to write a film review column for the San Gabriel Valley Tribune and a music review column for “The record Collector's Journal.”

Always interested in television and film, it’s no surprise Tony's first job was a disc jockey at his hometown radio station and began to review films and interview celebrities as a regular feature of his radio show and “Talking Pictures” was born.

Moving from Los Angeles to Utah to co-host a morning radio show on Utah's KABE FM 107, his film reviews were heard once a week and became a staple of the popular morning program.

Toscano began taking live calls from listeners and discussing current movies.

In 1996 Tony made the jump from radio and newspapers to television as the film critic on CBS in Salt Lake City, and then to KJZZ TV where he hosted the popular "Movie Review Show" and then his own production, "Talking Pictures."

In 2002 Tony was honored with his first Emmy Award as “Best Discussion Program.” In 2007 Toscano received his 2nd Emmy for hosting Talking Pictures.

Taking his award winning program coast to coast, Toscano has been able to syndicate Talking Pictures to over 65 million households around the USA and in nearly 120 countries worldwide.

In May of 2008 “Talking Pictures” moved to ABC-4 and Utah’s CW-30.

Toscano is also the film reviewer and entertainment guru for ABC-4’s “Good Morning Utah" and “Midday."

Additionally, Tony is heard on a number of radio stations across the US, including I Heart Radio's  top- rated “Morning Zoo with Frankie and Jess” on 97.1 ZHT in Salt Lake City, where his reviews have been heard for nearly 2 decades.

His fellow reviewers regard Tony as "one of the country’s best celebrity interviewers." As his in-depth conversations with such notable stars as George Clooney, Harrison Ford, Angelina Jolie, Steven Spielberg, Jeff Goldblum, Gwyneth Paltrow and Denzel Washington show a different and more relaxed side of celebrities.

In 2006 Toscano co-hosted the acclaimed series “Hot Topics” for Atlanta’s ABC affiliate WSB TV.

Working with Utah students in apprenticeships and internship programs, Tony is instrumental in instructing qualified and deserving students in the art of television production.

Tony Toscano is member in good standing of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA), a former board member of the Salt Lake City Film Center and the founder of the Utah Film Critics Society.

When not previewing, reviewing or interviewing Tony can be found somewhere in the mountains of Utah stream fishing or at his BBQ.

She also ran the column “Ask Amy” for Castittalent.com and was an Expert Writer for Backstage.com for over two years. 

“The Lyndon Technique” is part of the curriculum at the University of Kansas and was part of “Aaron Sorkin Week” through Syracuse University. Amy has had the opportunity to travel all over the United States and parts of Canada conducting intensives and lecturing about how to make it in the acting world teaching her Technique, helping Actors understand the philosophical principals of booking and teaching the importance and application of marketing and business strategies. 

Amy always says to her students, "If it was easy, everybody would be doing it." And "The only way you don't make it, is if you quit."
