The brand new Tosca album “Reincarnation” has now been officially released in all digital distribution channels: Google Play (including VIP pass), SoundCloud and YouTube (including YouTube Music Key)! Of course, the direct listening and download links to SoundCloud are also available in the Music-page of this site!

The album consists of 8 tracks representing various flavors of electronic music, going from melodic trance through EDM to 80s synthpop / video game sounds and chill out. It is a cross-section of Tosca’s musical style in recent years and although most of the tracks have only been finalized during the last month or so, some of them go back to the very beginning of Tosca music productions and have now been remixed and reproduced for this album.

The full track listing of the album:

1. New World
2. November Dawn (Reincarnated Mix)
3. Reincarnation
4. Digital
5. Fired Up
6. Synthesized
7. Flowers (2014 Remix)
8. Chill Island (2014 Chill Out Mix)

As usual, the album is available free of charge for listening and downloading through YouTube and SoundCloud but if you want to support Tosca music production, you can also buy the music from the Google Play store. If you have a Google Play VIP pass account, you can also show your support by using that to listen to the album, since I get a small fee from Google every time my song is played through the service. Of course, the “Donate” tab in right side of this page is also available for you for the support purpose 🙂

Be prepared! Something is about to happen next week… Follow this page, the Facebook page and Twitter for all the latest news!

I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with a brand new chill-out remake / remix of the old track “November Dawn”, now called “December Dawn (Christmas 2013 Chillout Mix), available on Music section / SoundCloud and Google Play once it gets through the validity checks.

Tosca will be back in 2014 with some new material, including the forthcoming album release “Reincarnation”, see you soon!

Well, well… It seemed like a project that would never finish at some point but after literally dozens of tries to get it right and countless hours in front of the Maschine and other software I was finally happy enough to put out a two-track EP “The Path to Reincarnation”  to public. This EP precedes the forthcoming album “Reincarnation” (as the name kind of  suggests) that is coming out at some (hopefully early) point of 2014.

“The Path of Reincarnation EP” will be available in Soundcloud with embedded players also available in the Music section of this site as usual. In addition to the usual suspects, for the first time in Tosca history, this EP will also be available through a commercial channel, Google Play (once it gets through the validation process by Google). I wanted to put my music available through the channels that so many people nowadays use to listen their music and Google Play gave me an opportunity to do so without too much hassle.

Now, first things first regarding the new distribution channel. Google Play is indeed a commercial service that costs money to use as a streaming service and yes, I have also put a (relatively nominal) price for the tracks and the EP if you want to buy them from the Play store. So, does this mean I’m charging for my music now?? No, not really. The price set for buying from store is basically only a new type of way to support Tosca production, if you wish to do so. You can still download the tracks from the Soundcloud free of charge and of course, if you are a VIP pass user of Google Play, you can listen the tracks as much as you want through the streaming service.

Why Google Play then, why not Spotify? That is surely more popular of the two, right? Well, there is a simple reason for that: to get your music to Play is relatively simple for an independent artist like me while Spotify basically requires a third-party “agent” in between and I am unwilling to go that road. Maybe some time in the future I do take that step, maybe I don’t, time will tell.

But that’s that, enjoy your dose of reincarnation and be ready for the full album release in 2014!
