The first piece of music under the new artist name Toscasound, “Home / Less Is More EP” has now been officially released and is available in SoundCloud and Google Play Music (both in store and in streaming service). The free-to-listen-and-download SoundCloud release has also been linked to the Music page as usual.

The release contains two tracks, “Home” and “Less Is More (Original Breakbeat Mix)” and it represents the transformation to the new, more underground-vibed music style that will also be the theme on the forthcoming album to be released later this year. It means more analog-type sounds, more breakbeats, more classic electronica feeling and less traditional trance sounds and elements.

“Home” is a bit more dancefloor-friendly of the two tracks containing rolling analog basslines & breakbeat parts, coupled with an ethereal synth section and trademark 303 acid sounds to spice things up. Although it probably still has things in common with the previously released material under “Tosca”, it is a sign of changes to come with somewhat different approach in many aspects of the sound.

“Less Is More” is an even bigger leap away from the trance-flavored material presenting a “personal musical adventure” between the styles and genres. It involves elements of techno and old-skool progressive / acid house with heavy bassline combined to a slow and peaceful synth part that evolves into the breakbeat-backed electronica. At a bit over 10 minutes this is one of the longest tracks I’ve ever written and most likely the longest in the forthcoming album as well.
