Rising young Australian producer Roland Tings is a dance music historian with a mischievous streak. His joyous self-titled debut is a journey that spans several decades of club culture, weaving together the best bits from multiple eras and genres. The average Tings track might blend the crashing drums of Chicago house with the exotic sound effects of ambient music ("Human Knowledge"), or the robotically funky rhythms of electronic disco with the spaced-out synthesizers of early new age ("Endless Race"). Retro without being reverential, Tings makes luscious, club-ready dance music that’s slyly experimental and crammed with hooks.
