Tosca, the Viennese masters of deluxe soundscapes of sensual rhythms, are back with their most magical and mesmerizing album yet. No Hassle, is a luxurious tapestry of analogue and digital sounds, submerged samples and live instrumentation that evolves and expands into an hour-long ambient symphony. Two-CD set is packaged in a deluxe 8-panel digipak. Special Amazon exclusive version comes with a bonus hour-long live DVD.

A sublime collection of music, the 2003 CD by Richard Dorfmeister & Rupert Huber is full of uptempo beats with a downtempo feeling, grooves in soft satin, spliff tunes with lyrical extravagance, & piano-pieces in a dub style. There's musical diversity galore on Dehli 9, CD 1 contains the classical Tosca sound infused with lush instrumentation, & CD2 features twelve dubwise piano compositions. Deluxe digipak. G Stone.

Tosca's second album 'Suzuki' (Studio K7) takes a lighter, airier approach to the trip-hop terrain that Opera explored. The spare, shimmering title track's delicate synth textures, minimal beats, mellow rhythms, and breathy vocal samples set the tone for the rest of the album's laid-back tracks. Though 'Orozco', 'Bass on the Boat,' and 'Ocean Beat' are more immediate variations on Tosca's relaxed sound, for the most part, 'Suzuki' offers a locked groove of hypnotic, deeply chilled-out epics. This CD has 12 tracks and is packaged in a digipak.

Tosca's debut ably charts the groovy darkside of blunted trip-hop, with spare hip-hop samples and deep bass lines contributing to tracks like 'Fuck Dub,' 'Worksong', and 'Chocolate Elvis'. This G-Stoned/Studio K7 release comes packaged in digipak.

Change is a constant in life and it’s this key factor that has informed the recent adventures in sound for Tosca. With their upcoming fourth artist album J.A.C. the theme of fatherhood is the tie that has bound these two men together in a newly recharged musical kinship. Between the release of their last acclaimed album Dehli 9 and their new masterpiece, the two have become fathers.

This album is the most consistent formulation of both the carefree and the melancholic aspects of Tosca. The melodies quicken, the grooves are both fun loving and laidback. Huber and Dorfmeister have found both a fresh understanding of the art of understatement and a newly reformulated, breathtaking musical authenticity. Like the new life around them, J.A.C. similarly breathes new life into the characteristic sound of Tosca.

Besides the ever-present and celebrated Tosca mood, this new sound resonates with the vibrations of live instruments translated with a liveliness that captures the immediacy of creation and improvisation at its peak. It’s this live, real instrumentation that marks the sound of the new Tosca album the most significantly.

The duo brought in a cast of new artists to perform vocals on the songs including Samiah Farah from Paris, Chris Eckman, lead singer of Seattle based band The Walkabouts, former Rockers Hi-Fi MC Farda P, Londoner Earl Zinger of 2 Banks of 4 and Austrian rock legend Graf Hadik all appear on the microphones.

J.A.C. is full of music that is light-footed and melancholic, cheerful and deep, relaxed and energetic. It’s a sound that can be enjoyed everywhere, at any occasion.

2010 release which gives their No Hassle album the remix treatment. Releasing an album of remixes of their most recent work stays in tradition with the Tosca modus operandi. There's been at least one remix album for each 'original' Tosca album to date. In the case of No Hassle, this might make even more sense than before, since No Hassle was an introspective work. Pony brings the more club-oriented face of Tosca to the forefront. To put it simply, Tosca, the project of the two Austrians, Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber, combines bass-heavy downbeat music with abstract soundscapes of found sounds and material from numerous studio sessions. When these recordings are handed over to remixers, everything changes; texture, dynamics, structures. Still, Pony is a true Tosca album; the sound signature of Dorfmeister and Huber cannot be superseded by a remix. G Stone.
