Lil Tony is hotter than hot. While starting to dj and produce years ago, Tony has been a staple in the Scandinavian club scene since the early 90s. An amazing dj (actually one of the favourites around the Moodmusic HQ) and a talented producer, Tony started with the FBI project with Roberto Rodriguez and Kimmo Oksanen before dropping some serious damage on Raw Trax Vol. 1 last year on Moodmusic. Caned by everyone from Luciano (he edited his own version of Semble) to dj Hell, Tonys raw grooves cut the crap and moved people when other producers had to take a leak. Hardworking, never forgetting his gentleman manners, Tony is here to stay and Raw Trax Vol. 2 is a bold new statement, and his best work to date. Solid State takes the classic Detroit influenced Drum machine vs Piano theme a step forward, a impeccable jam of 15 minutes with the beat keeping the pace, this has been roadproofed the last 6 months to good effect. The B-side Karamba is a dry, tight driven tech-workout, perfect mixtool for the deeper techno as well as housier sets. It just works well. The closing Checkpoint Charlie is a tale of “lost in Helsinki” – dark mean bass wanders around and gives space for the chuggin main line, monotonic body music at it ́s best.
