Not every record needs to hit harder to make a lasting impression. For Toman, it’s often the smaller details that make the difference, and his latest High Ceilings outing finds him exploring exactly that balance. Returning to his own imprint for its ninth release, the Amsterdam-based DJ/producer and label founder delivers ‘Eyes Wide Open’, with both cuts offering a fresh dancefloor-focused approach while retaining the character and musicality behind his sound.
Opening the package, the title track ‘Eyes Wide Open’ combines a buoyant, bubbling bassline with crisp drums, as bright chords cut through the mix and hazy vocal fragments add an intriguing contrast. On the flip, ‘Watch Your Back’ takes a more stripped-back approach, with skipping drums, a winding low-end and lively organ accents weaving around one another to create a slinky, understated cut with plenty of swing.
The release follows his recent High Ceilings showcase at ADE, while in the studio, he’s recently delivered ‘Reverse Things’ alongside Makèz on TSZR and ‘Booty Smoothie’ on Solid Grooves’ latest Ibiza VA. With his ever-expanding label project now nine releases deep, the Dutchman continues to shape his own space for his productions, plus music from his close circle of friends and collaborators.
