C/K 011EP
|
Due to near-constant demand, Cereal/Killers presents Pan/Tone's "Shame" on vinyl, first featured on 2008's Skip The Foreplay. A soulful overtone is guided by a groovin' piano/guitar riff and Motown-like vocals. Gui Boratto's unique style is highly identifiable on his remix of "Lost Highways" -- sure to be the preferred track for indie-rock DJs and technoids alike. Expander's dancefloor remix puts this track into overdrive with pulsing bass lines, a punching kick, and help from Marc Houle.

You have to go to the other side of the Rhein to reach Sheldon Thompson's studio dubbed The Moose Lodge in Cologne Deutz. Actually considered to the people of Cologne as "the wrong side of the river." But if you move your ass over one of the several bridges which combine both parts of the city, you will realize it is only for best. Nobody in Deutz complains about his loud music volume. Deutz with its old abandoned industrial buildings gives a view of the fallen days of the height of Detroit Motor City's glory days. In one of them you could easily find Sheldon Thompson for the better part of 2007/2008 burning the midnight oils, slaving himself to new musical self discoveries. Now on to the album. It starts with "Perdon Pantone," a classical house tune in the tradition of the dialogue tracks. In this case, as in most cases, a man and a woman converse. It is a battle of emotional jealousy, underlined with warm and rhythmic music -- an anthem for the fresh summer romances. This is one of the example tracks of the album with claim that house music is coming back a lot these days, but it is very rare to find it as erotic as here. My man Sheldon celebrates with tracks like "Touchy Feely" and "Dirty Deeds (Revised)" the happiness of night culture, the peek of hedonism. But as natural as he acts on the house field, his prime instigator as most know him is TECHNO with all capital letters... Tracks like "Lost Highways," "Makers Mark" or "Falcon And The Snowman" these are symbols of techno at its finest moment as the soundtrack of transcendence. These high sounds take you definitely higher. But as Sheldon is living for the last five years in Europe -- first Cologne, now since a few days -- and much to the sorrow of his Cologne homies -- in Hamburg -- he is also influenced from European techno, mainly in its Cologne and Berlin footprints. Listen to "Muckefuk" and you know what I mean. Or 'Donner Kebab.' The city of Cologne is rich on classical recordings and artist flavors. We saw them all here. The weirdness of the early '70s Krautrock from acts like Can. The magnificent art scene with its highs in the '80s and early '90s and now famous painters like Martin Kippenberger, Kai Althoff or Jutta Koether. As well as the new way of photographs as marked by Wolfgang Tillmanns. The new avant garde of the A-Musik clique. And, last but not least the huge achievement of Kompakt, the mothership of modern techno. With Skip The Foreplay Pan/tone throws in all he can give you. Please be so kind and give it all of your heart and ears. This is music for all people, coming direct from a good boys heart.

Sheldon Thompson aka Pan/Tone presents Chubby Chaser. "Perdon Pan/Tone" is a classical house tune and a battle of emotional jealousy, underlined with warmth and rhythm. "Touchy Feely" and "Dirty Deeds (Revised Mix)" evoke the happiness of night culture and the peak of hedonism. But as natural as he acts on the house field, Thompson is all about TECHNO.

SENDER 051EP
|
"Following S.S. this is Pan/Tone's second maxi on the Berlin label with the radio tower logo, transmitting north, east, south and west, once again. A strong and present atmosphere imbued with hypnotic frequencies floods the ether. While 'T.D.D.' synthesizes time and space with a steely dynamic, 'W.G.' is minimally excessive. 'U.T.I.' combines siren-like light effects with incisive bass sections to create a huge stimulus whose explosive impact is inescapable. The Cologne-based Canadian Sheldon Thompson also reflects the spirit of S.S. on his U.T.I. EP."

MULE 008EP

"Hailing from the mean streets of Toronto, Canada, Shelbono del Monte has been electrifying the electronic dance community with his gritty bassline-signatured productions and his sexy suave performances for nearly a decade. Never a dry moment with Pan/Tone's live performances for he is a freak when he finds his way on stage with bottle in hand. He sets the tempo and aims to discover your moods for the moment only to have you rediscover your own true passion for music. He was sent to you only to serve one purpose.... to make you shake that thang!. Ok, ok... let's get serious for a moment. All these words do not reflect the nature of this artist known as Pan/Tone. He only wishes to reserve the rights to an appeal if there has been any wrong doing and/or disapproval with any of the contained writings you see before you. Come see and hear Pan/Tone for yourself and form your own opinions and then we can all live in harmony."

SENDER 045EP

"Sheldon Thompson is omnipresent without ever having a letdown. It doesn't matter if as sid le rock, Gringo Grinder or Pan/Tone, his tracks dominate the night. One man, many faces. Rock and roll and knarz bass lines with pop appeal are his lubricant holding everything together. The punch has to strike and it does on his Sender debut 12". Two tracks which are more than 'Smoke Signals' to the dancefloor indicating that the insanity is about to start. Brute with heart. Honestly earned dirt under the rocking fingernails. Always good for a melodic twist. So to say a wolf in sheepskin. You will see this signal on the dance floor horizon for a long time."

BLEEP 026/27CD
|
"Pan/Tone is known for his releases on BackGround, Onitor, Neuton, Revolver, SubStatic but we are proud to present his best work to date. 12 new compositions + 10 remixes = 136 minutes filled with miniaturized techno. Subtle moves for your body, food for thoughts leading step by step to a restricted dance area. CD1 contains Pan/tone's compositions, showing many unique features to his sound. Ranging from Minimal Techno to punchy techno+rock (Rockno), a sound that rocks dancefloors and complements the whiskey in hand idea. However pan/tone's approach is more of a broader musical appeal. Pan/tone's theory is to focus on creating a 'Techno' sound that will hopefully branch away from the norm. CD2 offers exclusive reworks of Pan/Tone music by Jeff Milligan-Algorithm, Losoul, Si-cut.db, Falko Brockseiper & Mia / SubStatic, Andy Vaz, Frank Martiniq, Rene Braithwarth, Duplex 100, Adam Marshall, Repair."
