Lil Tony - Raw Trax Vol. 1

Recording info

Lil Tony, known for his perfect blend of afterhour and old school dj-sets, set high standards with his Future Beat Investigation project in 2007-08 together with fellow Helsinki heads Roberto Rodriguez and Kimmo Oksanen from the infamous Acid Kings combo. Releases on Raw Fusion and Sonar Kollektiv plus a bunch of remixes for 2020 Visions and Laka made their name one to watch. Now hes dropping some serious raw house grooves on Moodmusic, taking a turn to Dixon Innervisions as a training lap, the serious mileage will be done with the Raw Trax series for Moodmusic. Vol 1 starts with Juuri, an extensive journey into riffy, 2 note bassline territory with dark themes and a demon-like drum programming taking from the Chicago school of books ala 1987. Works like a fuckin dream as one comerad noted on a recent gig at Redrum, his local Helsinki club-night. Make Some Noise blends Kerri Chandler influences with the perfect tech-house touch from his previous FBI singles, rolling the bass til you drop its raw and we like it. The closing track Semble could be hard to described as a Moodmusic sound, but has such a powerful wild pitch groove we could not let it slip to another label out there. Sample mania pure, this is Junior Vascquez raising the roof in 1995 for those hot moments at Sound Factory Bar , you surely can project this for the 2009 to be hotter than hot!
