A small facelift to the website.

November 11, 2013

tosca_logo_square_t

The Toscasound.com website has gone through a bit of a refresh in logos, colors etc. This has been done to anticipate some future stuff that will be published hopefully in the near future. Nothing ground-breaking really coming up but at least stuff is again happening after a unusually long silence since last spring.

In the production side, a jump has been made to Native Instruments’ Machine 2.0 software with some great additions that will make production easier and more fun and of course hopefully also produce better results. Remember to follow this site and toscasound in Facebook+Twitter to be first to know about the future releases!

Tosca joins Mixcloud with a trance classics DJ mix

March 8, 2013

mixcloud-logoTosca has officially joined MixCloud service with a 70-minute DJ mix of trance classics (well, classics in my books at least) . Jam & Spoon, Age of Love, The Thrillseekers, Paul van Dyk and Orkidea among others are present in the mix that represents the cross-section of the Trance history from the early 90s until today (although no recent tracks are included in this mix).

You can find the mix here:

Interruption of service in toscasound.com coming up

February 14, 2013

There will be an interruption of service in toscasound.com on February 28th (or even earlier) because of change of service provider. Due to some circumstances out of my reach (mostly, delays in transferring the domain names) this interruption can last longer that I would like, even days, but I will inform about the developments through the Facebook and Twitter accounts.

During the interruption, Facebook, Twitter and SoundCloud accounts will continue to run normally:

Unconditional EP available in the music section!

January 30, 2013

The brand new “Unconditional EP” is  now available in the music section. The EP includes the title track Unconditional (Original Mix) and re-worked “2013” versions of the older tracks Underwater and November Dawn.

“Unconditional” is a classic Tosca tune, with some 303 basslines and breaks to supplement the traditional trance sounds and feeling. 2013 remix of “Underwater” gives the old promo track a totally new touch, with some analog drum breaks and whole new set of sounds. “November Dawn” has also gone through a major overhaul in 2013 remix, losing the breakbeat core of the original mix and having the sound selection and general feeling of a more traditional trance track.

Enjoy and stay tuned for some more during the spring! I’m planning to do something a bit different this time, we’ll see how it goes…
