​Tony Soprano Band​ Studio 5 Live

Mon 15 Jun 2026
Studio 5 Live

Blending downtempo electronica, breaks and live instrumentation, new project Tony Soprano Band released their debut album Downtempo 1 on May 22 via Dune Castle.

Downtempo 1 sits at the intersection of live band interplay and downtempo electronic music. 
Drawing from the language of breaks, sampling and loop-based composition, every sound on the 
record originates from live performance. Drums, bass, synthesizers and hardware elements were 
performed simultaneously, with no fixed arrangements or predetermined outcomes.
