TOCR007 - Indian Summer: Volume Two (Signal Flow Continuous Mix)

It is with excitement and pride that Touch of Class Records unveils the music of Fovus Loîr — the new moniker of Daniel Gardner (aka Frivolous), an internationally renowned live performer, producer, DJ and classically trained pianist, hailing from Canada’s West Coast. With forty releases and over a dozen 12”s to his name, Gardner’s latest EP, “Missing Pieces” showcases three original songs with vocals by the artist himself and remixes by San Francisco hometown heroes, PillowTalk and Dave Aju. 

The EP’s lead track, "The Pieces That I'm Missing,” is laid down with sonic orchestration and intoxicating, loved-up vocals that will have you grooving along effortlessly — a perfect tune to be dropped on any dance floor. The PillowTalk lads’ rework comes dressed in their signature bass lines and silky melodies — emphasizing the track’s warm string arrangements, chopping up the vocals bringing a new aesthetic to the original composition. 

The second original track on this release, "Pieces,” presents a more dubbed-out, minimal feel than the first version — with heavier bass lines, ethereal synths and pads, gently setting a deep and bouncy groove for the delighted listener. Also included is a reconstruction of the tune by Berlin-based, San Francisco transplant, Dave Aju, whose Acid-House interpretation transports the listener to an underground warehouse — a perfect peak-time track that will have any speakers pumping. 

Touch of Class has also included a bonus track on this EP release —  ”Moments For A Day.” The tune is delivered in true Frivolous fashion, a two-step mashup with heavy bass, strictly for the heads.

“Missing Pieces” release as a whole represents the diversity in sound eluted with a sense of fantasy, imagination and personality — an auditory aesthetic that both Fovus Loîr and Touch of Class Records continuously strives to embody. This solid collection of masterfully composed tunes, promises to reward any DJ's crate or playlist.

@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.
