TITONTON DUVANTÉ
If one had to say a few words to sum up the multifaceted musical talent of Titonton Duvanté, adjectives like innovative, ambitious and creative could be used to describe him.
Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, Titonton wrote his first song at the age of five and as a child he was drawn to the upbeat rhythms of disco and the futuristic sounds of early electronic music. As he matured, he was intrigued by the music associated with breakdancing, admiring electro and the sounds of The Art of Noise, Depeche Mode and New Order. He also enjoyed classical music and began his studies of classical composition and opera performance in 1989. The next year Titonton purchased his first piece of electronic equipment and has been composing ever since. His musical techniques have been influenced by the ideologies of jazz improvisation and John Cage.
Playing records since 1993, Titonton has played throughout the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia and released music on numerous labels such as: Palette, 7th City, Central, Planet E, SSR/Reflective, Phono/Environ, Metamorphic and Transfigure to name a few. Titonton has also released tons of material on his own label, Residual Recordings which he runs with partner Thomas James. Besides being a highly unique and versatile producer known for his style of melodic techno, he's considered as number one broken beat DJ in the US.
