Touane @ Bazzaar: Tonight in Atlanta!


We're looking forward to seeing Touane perform live tonight at Bazzaar! Check out one of his promo mixes below to get a feel for the night!

Touane is Marco Tonni, born in 1979 in Rimini, a tourist-choked seaside town in northern Italy. After playing bass and guitar in rock bands during his youth, he began to experiment with electronic music at 17, creating music to reconfigure the incomplete memories of his favourite songs into a new and signature sound.

2005 was the year of his debut 12” “Afasia”, with the release of his first singles, which were charted by Djs such as Troy Pierce, Falko Brocksieper, Jeremy Caulfield and Steve Bug. He also released, “Awake,” who got him good attention from magazines and music lovers all over Europe. He started touring Europe, playing cities such as Madrid, Moscow, and Rome, while simultaneously refining his studio and his live show performance ceaselessly.

If this first year of productions marked a strong but still discrete entrance into the European music scene, the year 2006 seen the definitive recognition of his talents: at first with his top-charting single Bassic, which was licensed to the Fabric Live Cd mixed by Tiefschwarz and for the U.S. magazine XLR8R Berlin Issue Compilation. This was followed by more releases on Dumb-Unit, Trenton, Regular, and finally two more singles on Persona. Spree Baptism and Prosa have been suggesting clearly the path he wanted to follow, taking his sound signature production techniques far from genre categorization and a step above the sometimes excessive monotony of certain minimal techno.

2007 was mostly touring for Marco, as he crossed both sides of the Atlantic bringing his unique sound to US, Canada and Japan, he can finally reckon to have played in most of best clubs of the western world. Still he kept actively producing, releasing a new album and a couple of singles for his home label Persona where is took on managing the label. More releases and remixes on Trenton, Curle, Lan Muzic and Liebe*Detail. This big musical output granted him great press feedback, getting extended features, video interviews and a constantly increasing presence on several electronic music blogs and podcasts towards the globe. As of now, Marco is still deep in the studio collaborating with some other musician and alone to his advancement and to new music, following his ideal of spontaneity and unleashing his creativity in always new ways.
