A man that has been around for many, many years is the 33rd addition to our series. Believe it or not, this is our first American artist and goes by the name of Titonton Duvante. As a DJ, producer, event promoter and owner of Residual Recordings, Titonton is an overall music enthusiast. He comes from the days where the only way to find music you liked and wanted was by visiting records stores. As a teenager in the 90’s, Titonton travelled regularly to Detroit and Chicago to see the likes of Jeff Mills, Derrick May and Paul Johnson. Originally from Ohio, his passion for producing comes from jamming out on hardware, but he is also comfortable about getting his sounds out there by integrating it with software. He also has a feeling for classical music, which you can hear in the tunes that inspired him. This started when he was composing music at Ohio State University.
His sound has a raw, mature and unique feeling to it. On his label Residual Recordings he has released his own tracks and had other artists on it such as John Tejada and Boo Williams. Other labels which Titonton released on contain Dan Curtin’s label Metamorphic Recordings, Starbaby, Loop Sounds, 7th City, Palette and many more.
