Tonal Effect (Pianity Version)

Chicago by birth, New York by choice, Midwest by grace, Luis Baro’s enthusiastic contemporary approach to crafting deeply emotive dance music has been a fascinating purpose-driven personal journey. Growing up on Chicago’s Northside in the late 80s and early 90s, Luis Baro was immersed in the sounds of an entire vibrant underground. During this seminal period in the international development of American Dance Music, Baro & co. helped raise the bar for a diverse array of artists they believed in and he hosted at his Vibonauts events. Baro would continue to curate musical experiences for audiences by hosting satellite radio’s most popular dance music show at the time, Sirius XM’s “The Move” in Washington, DC. Developing over many years what he refers to as an ”essentialist approach”, Baro casts a production web of musical spontaneity upon his unorthodox musical arrangements and structural sound design dreams to take listeners to new polyphonic planets. Tonal Effect is taken from Baro’s Aging Children EP planned for release in late 2022 on Fresh Meat Records. Tonal Effect is the most driving cadence of the forthcoming EP with its taut, spiky drum machine programming and pistoning chords, echoing the formalism of early 90s Detroit. The percussion morphs throughout the track, shifting around the angular synth and bass tones, making this the kind of track that stays fresh while going on and on.
