Prepare to get chilled: Tosca are set to release their No Hassle LP later in the year.

No Hassle is the fifth full-length released by the duo, who are comprised of Richard Dorfmeister (of legendary trip-hoppers Kruder & Dorfmeister) and Austrian musician Rupert Huber. Whereas much of their previous material had Dorfmeister's dubby basslines up front, this album was developed as a more ambient project, combining submerged samples and live instrumentation to create a lush and immersive hour of music.

"It's our personal reaction to everything," explains Richard. "To all things that are pressuring you from outside, or internally, from every angle. It's sort of the ideal position to achieve, and it's the same idea behind the music: to achieve an hour where you feel hassle free."

Sat, 03 Oct 2009another flat release for Tosca
uninspired and clichéd downtempo

Fri, 17 Jul 2009This album sounds like someone got hold of Tosca's sound library and made some very flat tracks, with hardly any peaks and troughs, chucked a vocal on one track then forgot it was in there.

Hardly any edge here compared to their early work. JAC was fantastic in comparison, you could instantly hear ideas coming through the music - this is polished music with no ideas.... truly unispirational, and the kind of thing that gives chill-out music a bad name.

One of these tracks might be and... More
