TOSCA


Tosca is the musical child of Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber, two artists from Vienna, Austria.
Their music is like a quiet storm. It just takes you by surprise with its subtle grooves, flickering percussion, bluesy samples, dub echoes, brazilian infused-beats.
It just flows around as sweet as honey....
