Following the success of his collaborative Snow Ghosts project, Ross Tones returns on Houndstooth in 2014 with a new EP and his highly-anticipated debut album under his solo guise, Throwing Snow.
For Record Store Day, Throwing Snow has taken three tracks from the forthcoming LP ‘Mosaic’, and given them the VIP treatment aimed squarely at the dancefloor.
The vocals of fellow Red Bull Music Academy participant Adda Kaleh are employed on both ‘Maera’, which is reworked into a rave-fuelled anthem with a surprising twist, and ‘The Tempest’, which becomes a house banger with a distinctly Eastern flavour. Meanwhile, the delicate chimes and synths of ‘Linguis’ are laid upon a swinging, garagey four-to-the-floor.
‘Mosaic VIPs’ has been pressed to a strictly limited run of 500 12”s, cut by mastering engineer of the year, Matt Colton.
Mystic, fantastic and gentle Downtempo Electronica is suitable for listening also lounge. It's beautiful and refreshing ! I got a new inspiration from this album. Jean-Michel Serres / Apfel Café Music / Apfelsaft Cinéma Music
