DESCRIPTION:
Deep Vocal House - On Left At Sunset, Tornado Wallace taps into those fragile, glowing moments after a long night in the club, when the lights come up just enough, the bass softens, and the first hint of morning slips through the windows. Time feels suspended.
The lead track Asahi Ga Yondeiru (“the morning sun is calling”) captures that feeling perfectly. Built around Courtney Bailey’s gentle vocal, it drifts somewhere between late-night house and early morning reflection. It is not about the peak. It is about what comes after it. That quiet euphoria when you realize the night gave you something you will carry back into the real world. The rest of the EP stays in that same emotional zone: warm, slightly melancholic, but full of light. These are tracks for the very last dance, when the floor is half-empty, hearts are wide open, and every sound feels a little more meaningful. Not an ending, really. Just the beginning of whatever comes next.
In general, Berlin-based Aussie Tornado Wallace has built a career out of forging colourful, atmospheric, musically detailed workouts that sit somewhere between Balearica, deep house and classy nu-disco. On this return to Running Back - a first collection of new music on Gerd Janson's label for almost a decade - the Melbourne-raised producer opts for deeper, weightier, and more far-sighted sounds. For proof, check opener 'Asahi Ga Yondeiru', where Courtney Bailey's Alison Goldfrapp-esque vocals with rub shoulders with starry synth chords and acid-style bleeps above sturdy house beats. Title track 'Left at Sunset' is even more gorgeous, fixing his usual picturexque melodies and dreamy chords to a booming bassline and shuffling breakbeats, while 'Plasticine' is an IDM and ambient influenced chunk of spacey dancefloor dub.

Last FM Information on Tornado Wallace
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
First blowing a gale as a forerunner of the new wave of Melbourne dance producers, Tornado Wallace’s distinct and perceptive electronics now find him in a constant rotation of both hemispheres, spending most of the year based in Berlin.
From formative house beginnings, the ESP Institute initiation Thinking Allowed proved Tornado Wallace as a force to be reckoned with - the driving groove and Will Powers stargazing quickly matched by an EP of eco-electro burners on Beats In Space. This two timing continued for another round with ESP issuing the elegant Circadia, while Beats In Space got their churning acid two-tracker Kangaroo Ground/Ferntree Gully.
In tandem, krautback duo Coober Pedy University Band was formed with Otologic’s Tom Moore, who he’d previously stirred up trouble with as fractions of C Grade and Animals Dancing - two long standing parties of undeniable impact on their hometown. Their trance inducing debut on Soft Rocks' imprint Kinfolk recruited vocals from a lesser known Chet Faker, followed by the bonkers 2014 anthem Kookabura.
After some time in between releases due to an increasingly busy DJ schedule, 2016 sees the release of a Tornado Wallace 12” on Second Circle, sister label to cult Amsterdam archivists Music From Memory, as well as a long overdue and eagerly awaited album Lonely Planet, on Gerd Janson's Running Back.
