PAN/TONE : newfound
urban calm + remix album
(Bleep 26/27)
Pan/Tone is known for his releases on BackGround,
Onitor, Neuton, Revolver, SubStatic but we are proud to present
his best work to date. 12 new compositions + 10 remixes = 136 minutes
filled with miniaturized techno. Subtle moves for your body, food
for thoughts leading step by step to a restricted dance area.
shelbono "barracuda” del monte ....real name (sheldon
sidney LeRock) was born in a desolate lumber/mining town in the
northern regions of Ontario, Canada. Shelbono started composing
music while living in Windsor (near Detroit), a city known as the
mecca for techno, no!...(is it?).
Pan/tone has been in the forefront of the Canadian techno movement
and was awarded “Best Techno Act, 2003” from NOW magazine.
He has been featured at well respected Music Festivals such as MUTEK
(Montreal, Canada), AVANT MUTEK (Toronto, Canada) and North by Northwest.
pan/tone has been consistently performing in Europe and Japan and
has over 28 recording credits thus far (Sub-static, Revolver, Background
Records, Onitor…).
In 2003, 15 new songs have been sent to some friends so that they
rework them, the result is the double CD "newfound urban calm".

CD1 contains Pan/tone's compositions, showing many unique features
to his sound. Ranging from Minimal Techno to punchy techno+rock
(Rockno), a sound that rocks dancefloors and complements the whiskey
in hand idea. However pan/tone's approach is more of a broader
musical appeal. Pan/tone's theory is to focus on creating a "Techno"
sound that will hopefully branch away from the norm.
CD2 offers exclusive reworks of Pan/Tone music by Jeff Milligan-Algorithm,
Losoul, Si-cut.db, Falko Brockseiper & Mia / SubStatic, Andy
Vaz, Frank Martiniq, Rene Braithwarth, Duplex 100, Adam Marshall,
Repair.
Shelbono is now based in Cologne, Germany for his fondness with
the cities laid back appeal and the people he has befriended.
Under the mùoniker Shed Le Rock he has inked a 4 album
deal with Ladomat / Mute, so rest assured his music is gonna spread
like wildfire.
A major tour in Europe is in developement for his return to your
dancefloors. So, If you happen to see shelbono del monte at a
club, chances are he‚ll be ordering you a round of whiskey
shooters...cheers!
