Toky – Purp & Soul Podcast 011
First of all great job on the EP coming out on Noir. We’re tipping it for big things! How you feeling about the release?
First of all I want to thanks noir for this opportunity . is almost a year that I approached into this kind of music, and with this ep I think I’ve found the right sound.
Toky – About You (Original Mix)
What influenced you to make the transition to Dance Music after spending a long time around Jazz, Funk and Rock?
One year ago I was in the studio with tale of us for a live session and I was struck by the sounds and the possibility of being a small conductor with musical instruments chosen by me. I studied for many years classical and modern music, I’m a bass player and my past is bob marley, jimi hendrix, pink floyd, chat baker, Jaco Pastorius Mina Battisti and bring what brining this kind of music into the electronic sound fascinates me a lot
Do you try and bring this live feel into the music you make now? Through using musical instruments, recording your own vocals etc?
It’s what I’m trying to do. I want to give a human soul in this electronic world. what I’m seeing lately is that few do this work for love and passion for music but only to appear and make money and this makes losing the meaning of the word artist. Music for me is like a religion, and every song a prayer for it.
Toky – About You (Hot Since 82 Remix)
Well your definately starting to touch people with your prayers, are there any other songs we should be looking out for this year?
I started working with Leon, an incredible artist and a great friend for me. This project is called Superhero. We managed to create a very special sound, and soon, many songs will be released on great labels. I love working with him because we complement
Looking forward to that! Are going to be seeing Toky and Superhero playing a few gigs around the world? Perhaps bringing this human soul into your sets?
I hope so! our plan is to play our music live all over the world … theaters, music festivals. i love apparat and what through in his live . we want to be able to convey the same emotions
Is the podcast you have done for us similar to what would be play live, what can people expect from the mix?
every day is different from another and each day we have different emotions to be transmitted. when I did the podcast I felt the need to convey what I was thinking. I like to explore different sounds and mix them. I hope you enjoy it
Well we enjoyed and I’m sure everyone else will, it’s always great when the music take you through a journey . . .
