about

Tyler Mesa is growing into a key pillar of TOR, showcasing our diverse musical foundation. The Canadian's sound balances driven beats with emotive melodics, and organic influences with searing synthetics. With appearances on our Tales of Romance series, Blanche II, and his debut EP all coming within the last couple of months, Tyler continues to harness new sounds and innovative productions aimed at the dancefloor.

Fractured Innocence continues to shed new light on the Montrealer's studio prowess. The A-side opens with a progressive arrangement creating huge builds and emphatic kicks. A retro-feeling vocal brings techno-influenced character, while the string melody offers warmth and breadth to the sound design. A heater that will work its magic on club dance floors in the near future.

Konoha takes a step back into house territory, easing us into a delicious groove. Percussive rhythms steal the show from the start, as piano chords and elongated pads set the stage for deep melodies. A perfect summary of Mesa's ability to touch upon dreamy spaces, while never sacrificing the opportunity for a two-step.

City of Light forms the middle ground on the EP. Hearty synth-work connects with sturdy drums and tripped out vocal chops. Soothing, yet driven, this could be a tool in any DJs bag. The bountiful kick carries us forward, while the bridge offers brief respite.

Rift brings back the darker tones that shake the soul. An ominous bassline forms the underbelly, while synths rotate between gritty and round territories; one for the late night affair.
