[REVIEW] Tonilight’s “Lumanoide” lands in Brazil @Roadie Music!
“Tonylight made Lumanoide an infectious album in its dancing vein through its acidic, strident and sweet sounds. Flirting with house music and taking the form of a synonym for chiptune, the 8bit present here makes the listener even – and sometimes – have the impression of being inside the universe of video games.”
[51bts078] Tonylight: Lumanoide
09.05.2024 || 8bit, Chiptune, Acid, Techno
Tonylight, a genuine master of the 8bit music scene, takes the advantage of his long-standing experience in the sound machines’ design and production within LEP (“Laboratorio Elettronico Popolare”), to constantly change his set-up to shape new tracks, always maintaining a characteristic pure analogue and instinctive approach in all his compositions.
“Lumanoide” sounds raw, acid and old-school, with unsettling dynamics and motorik rhythms. This latest album by Tonylight can be viewed as a fully-matured version of the previously produced albums that were almost entirely based on the use of Gameboy and Nanoloop. The creative verve is the same, but the sounds are full-bodied, deep, intense, and obtained by exploiting a recently produced Danish groove-box to its limits. Lumanoide is inspired by the unforgettable nights in the clubs of the 90s, and all tracks are 120 bpm, in homage to the Marco Dionigi’s “slow motion” djsets.
The name of the album comes from “Lumanoise”, one of the synths produced by LEP, of which Tonylight is one of the founders.
