It’s been seven years since Toby Tobias dropped his debut album on Rekids, Space Shuffle. This sophomore set, then, is long overdue. Seemingly more reliant on hardware – and, in particular, analogue synths and drum machines – Rising Son is an altogether more mature, tightly executed album than its’ predecessor. The London producer includes nods to many of his familiar influences – think saucer-eyed Balearica, Italo-disco, acid house, Larry Heard style ’80s deepness, modern boogie, Detroit techno and Chicago jack, capturing just the right balance between downtempo curiosities, fuzzy mid-tempo grooves and bona fide dancefloor hits. There are also a couple of impeccable forays into the world of early ’90s ambience, with the odd “Broken Computer” standing out.
