Touch of Class Records

Touch of Class Records is a collaboration between Los Angeles natives Michael Tello of PillowTalk and Ray Zuniga: TOCR is a natural creation, serving as a podium for the founders’ own productions as well as providing an artistic developmental platform for a wider family of artists. The common fibre that joins the artists at TOCR surpasses their musical tastes and talents as DJs, producers and artists–what truly binds this collective of creators is tenacity and a common decree of where this music should and can go.
The imprint’s sound eludes any specific genre, challenging the confined and sometimes restrictive labels associated with house or techno music. Instead, these artists compose new sounds–a true expression of the times we are all presently living which is one of eclecticism, where most everything is a disparate combination in search for harmony.
TOCR have put out releases from Signal Flow, Jonny Cruz, Aquarius Heaven, Pattern Drama, along with a full compilation, ‘Indian Summer’, including tracks from DJ Tennis, PillowTalk, and Tanner Ross amongst other talented artists. In 2014, Tone of Arc, Navid Izadi, disCerN, and new projects South Of Chihuahua and Plaza Hotel have all defined the label’s great and sophisticated output so far, and there is only more of the same to come.
