Hailing from the city of Freiburg in Germany, TONYC is an exciting artist in the electronic music sphere, winning over audiences with his thrilling dance tracks. A rising DJ and producer, TONYC draws inspiration from a range of artists including Skrillex, Linkin Park, Disclosure and Deadmau5. This melting pot of influences results in a unique sound built on pounding beats, various synth tones and melodic intricacies presented via impactful production.
He first ventured on his musical journey back in 2012, initially playing high school parties with his beats. Over the years, he’s evolved into a prominent figure in the German and Swiss club scenes, delivering electrifying performances at renowned venues. With a penchant for bass-heavy compositions, his original tracks consistently deliver fresh cuts that showcase the evolving facets of his sonic vision.
Releasing music that spans genres from house to trap to drum and bass, in 2014, he made his debut with “Matter,” marking the beginning of a musical adventure that continues to gained momentum. After his last release with 2022’s “Trauma,” he took a year out from releasing original music but by no means let his creativity fade. Recently he headed back to his private studio in Freiburg and, armed with new software, crafted the track that would form his brand new single titled “Balling.”
Taking cues from the cyberpunk style that distils sonic inspiration from a dystopian scene in the future, with “Balling” TONYC lays down a relentless electronic music experience that’s at once entrancing and energising. In a collision of techno and drum and bass styling, “Balling” serves up a powerful dance music offering that draws on TONYC’s wild creativity and his production talent that allows him to bring to life his sonic vision in an engrossing way.
Opened by chopped and processed vocal samples, the rapid flutter of synths and percussive shots builds the tension before the artist brings in the first drop. Growling synth textures, thumping beats and an array of pulsing and dancing synth tones converge, cut with slick break beats that ushers in a superb display of high-octane electronic music.
The spacey vocal elements provide hooks among the onslaught of modulating synths and dynamic ebb and flow controlled by the shifting beats. It’s an epic new track from this talented producer who fuses different styles together to craft something entirely new and thoroughly visceral.
