Tosca

Tosca is the partnership between Richard Dorfmeister (of the trip-hop production team Kruder & Dorfmeister) and fellow producer Rupert Huber. Recording for K&D's G-Stone label, the outfit released five lush studio albums between 1997 and 2009, including Opera, Dehli9, and No Hassle (with the exception of No Hassle, all of them featured vocal collaborations), as well as a series of remix compilations. Their 2013 effort Odeon brought vocals back into the mix and was their first album for the !K7 label. They stuck with the label for 2014's Outta Here but drastically jumped genres on the album, trading their traditional downtempo sound for a more glittery version of neo-disco. 2017's Going Going Going saw Tosca returning to their roots, delivering a mercurial set of house, ambient, and funk-informed instrumentals. ~ John Bush, Rovi
