Titonton Duvanté
May 16, 2003
Titonton Duvanté is one of the most impressive composers of eclectically fused beats and melodies this side of planet funky ass. His sounds invoke new perspectives into the creational intent and potential power of music itself and force us to believe that the human spirit is not only alive, but thriving. Not only is he an accomplished producer but also an extremely technical turntabalist (one of the best I have ever seen), cutting up phat beats like candy treats. Titonton is electronic music’s best-kept secrets and to discover this untapped resource of musical talent is to redefine the meaning of excellence.

This Hardcore Breakbeat 12" classic is one of the greats, with known samples such as 'Open your mind', 'Me and Satin walk side by side for a long time', 'We share the same thoughts' and 'I think I need a sound check'. For those who appreciate the really dark and creepy beats in life, I highly recommend. | ||||
Like so many have mentioned before, Boards of Canada's music creates and conjours up strong images of childhood, of merry-go-rounds, of rainy winters, of peaceful autumn meadows, of beams of light piercing through floating clouds. There is no denying their musical genius, not many can claim to envoke the same sorts of emotion through sound. However, some of us do strive to achieve a similar goal.
Their music is truly unique... and I'm quite ashamed to admit it, but at certain moments in nearly all of their tracks, there is such a mixture of happiness and melancholy, I don't know whether to smile benevolently or let the moisture from my eye break free and fall to my cheek.
Like some say 'It's only music', but i'd like to admit that there may be something more to it... are we more than just the sum of our own parts... I'd like to think it's possible.
