Catalog Number: TOCR002 
Format: Digital
Release Date: October 21st 2013

The heat of this seemingly endless summer is simmering down as we shift into the next season. Whether you’ve spent these few months basking on the sands of a remote-island, enflamed in a summer romance or in the commotion of your home city, nostalgia is surely kicking in. Worry not as the artists of Touch of Class Records have
the musical remedy. Due for release October 21st is the imprint’s debut twelve track compilation “Indian Summer.” This anthology of fresh and innovative artists takes you on an infectious and boundless musical journey capturing the season’s most memorable moments.

This debut Various Artist release begins with the laidback and sultry sounds of Tanner Ross featuring the distinctive and irie vibes of Aquarius Heaven. Next we have Pillowtalk’s remix of Tennis’ track “Monocraft” – a gripping and melancholic ballad about life and the passing of time. Machine Forest, a new alias for the acclaimed Tone of Arc duo, graces the anthology with the unearthly sounds of “Sidewalk Sound Wave” - a beautiful love song that blesses your ears as well as your heart. Safeword’s track “Tales from the Sunset” takes you on a walk along the demystifying beaches of the Sunset district in San Francisco, with its dramatic dark keys and erratic synths. Female artist, Jamaica Suk adds her mark with “Forever More” - unique by its quixotic piano riffs, analog layering and vintage drum programming.

The journey continues with the hazy and deep sonic tones of “Distant Minded” – a track from disCerN" a new project by Jonny Cruz & Silky, followed by Kenneth Scott’s ethereal vocal driven tune, “Lost Behind Her Eyes.” LuLo follows up with his heartening track “Prompt” featuring longing lyrics by Ecuadorian talent, Andres Caballero. Navid Izadi
makes a presence with “School’s Out” accompanied by provocative vocals from Jesse Rennix, a tune that exudes the excitement of this long awaited day. Next we have the classic sound of Signal Flow along side Greg Paulus in “Summer Madness” -- 808 beats, dubbed out synths and dreamy horns that can melt away any tropical sunset, paving the way for BE MAJOR’s “Something to Lose” -- a melody driven piano and vocal track that takes your breath away with intoxicating choruses and sensational composition. The last track, “101 South (Take Me Down),” from Walker Barnard, Kenneth Scott and Signal Flow features tantalizing vocals by Dave Aju and Michael Tello, a mesmerizing track to be played with the windows down while cruising the highway into the sunset.

Select Cuts 132: LIVING

@RayZuniga, DJ, producer, Touch of Class label owner and Output resident joined forces with frequent collaborator and beloved Listed resident @DJNikita for magical evening of world-class house music in The Panther Room November 18 2018.

Ray Zuniga & NIKITA - Live from The Panther Room Nov 2018

It was the last sunrise on our beloved Playa, and the morning of Temple Burn. It was also the most beautiful, absolutely surreal transformation of our moon and sun, upon the coldest night of the Burn. The energy, vibe, and temperature, quickly elevated, provided a state of bliss thanks to our all-giving sun! All these elements, along with the citizens of Black Rock City, who lift our spirits, reminded and reassured us that we’re surrounded by pure LOVE! The incredible and unique ART continues to inspire us, igniting our inner light, liberating us from our fears, and encouraging us all to be living our best lives. 

 For us, it’s an absolute pleasure and honor to be a part of such an incredible art project, broadening people’s imaginations and inspiring others to dream BIG! Reminding us of our purpose to prove the testament that MUSIC really is the answer.

Barney Cools | Poolside Etiquette Guest Mixtape 21: PillowTalk

We started Friday night at 4:30 in the early AM, and brought up Saturday’s sun over the course of 2.5 hours on the beach stage of beautiful Belden Town, along the majestic Feather River. 

We are honored to have been part of the 10 Year Anniversary of the Sunset Campout, and couldn’t be more pleased to share with you our set from the best campout on earth! Every year it’s a family reunion of many sorts, full of constant LOVE (and of course rigorous comedy), truly only experienced by those who attend! 

Hope you enjoy the journey of nature’s transition!! @sunset-sound-system

Your LIVING soul brutha’s, @rayzuniga @djnikita

RAY ZUNIGA & NIKITA - Live @ Sunset Campout 2019

Experience Ray Zuniga and Nikita’s trill, mystical live, opening set from The Cityfox Odyssey NYE/NYD 2019 party with this one hour and twenty-minute exclusive recording blend of deep house, techno, and a dash of disco.

Colorado-born, San-Francisco established DJ extraordinaire, NIKITA grew up as a natural entertainer. For over 16 years, he established and expanded his talents as a dynamic, versatile selector, changing and evolving the West Coast Deep House scene. Globally-established DJ, Ray Zuniga is one half label owner at Touch of Class records and one half of duo SignalFlow, as well as an internationally recognized curator and performer of accessible, yet spontaneous sounds.

After taking in their individual audible delights, it’s no wonder their shared penchant for suspending time with sophisticated, rhythmic electronic voyages have brought them together. In addition to playing together, they also produce an international music event called LIVING.us and since both have been spending time in New York creating a community who crave their contrasting fantastically blended sets, we can’t wait to see what comes from the pair next. Listen to and share this live set from Ray Zuniga and Nikita on repeat.
