The Legacy Continues. Tony Touch A.K.A Tony Toca continues to be a
force to be reckoned with. Tony Touch, an icon in Hip Hop and in the
Urban Hispanic genre plus seasoned player in the game, is a true
innovator and has revolutionized the DJ game over and over. From his
legendary mix tapes, to his skills on the 1’s and 2’s, he has become one
of Hip Hop’s most recognized DJ’s. This C.E.O/Artist/Producer is now
currently working on his 7th commercial release titled “The Piece Maker
3…Return of the 50 MC’s” and is expected to make history once again.
Tony Touch began as a B-Boy during the rap music renaissance era of the
early 80’s. Heavily influenced by pioneers like the Rock Steady Crew,
Grandmaster Flash, Red Alert,”Little” Louie Vega, and Jam Master Jay, he
quickly shifted his interests towards the turntables. Toca is known for
his legendary mix tapes like the original 50 MC’s parts 1, 2 and 3.
Included in this series are some of the hottest artist in the game such
as KRS ONE, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, Wyklef, M.O.P, Big L, Mos Def
and many more all coming together for one collective piece. This along
with the countless other mix tapes, Tony became recognized in the
streets and industry as the real ‘Mix tape King’
Tony Toca
evolved his mix tapes to record releases. In 2000, Tony released “The
Piece Maker” on Tommy Boy records. This album sold over 400,000 units
worldwide and featured legendary artists like Big Pun, Cypress Hill, Wu
Tang Clan, Busta Rhymes, Eminem, Gang Starr, and much more. The single
“I Wonder Why” featuring Total video featured cameos from John
Leguizamo, Rock Steady and more. Since then, Tony Touch has released the
“Piece Maker 2” which also had an all-star line up with features such
as P. Diddy, Fat Joe, Sean Paul, Snoop Dog and even the legendary Ruben
Blades.
Toca is also known to represent the Latino community to
the fullest. It is the result of growing up with Salsa at home and
Hip-Hop influence in his lifestyle. In 2005 Tony inked a deal with EMI
records and revolutionized the game once more with his Latin album
called “ReggaeTony”. The hit single, “Play that Song” featured Nina Sky
and B- Real of Cypress Hill . The cd had an all star line up including
Tego Calderon, Ivy Queen, Zion y Lennox, N.O.R.E, Voltio, and Soni just
to name a few. The album went GOLD and with that success, EMI records
moved quickly to release ReggaeTony 2 which featured more heavyweight
appearances.
Touch continues to be in demand globally. The
proof is in the passport as he has toured over 30 countries including
Japan, Australia, Puerto Rico, London, France, Greece, Russia, Brazil,
Germany, Columbia, Switzerland, Italy and Cuba. He’s also acted as tour
dj for acts like Cypress Hill, Gurus’s Jazzmatazz, Rock Steady and the
Beatnuts. You also may have caught Tony on TV shows such as “Saturday
Night Live” and “The Dave Chapelle Show” spinning for Eminem. Don’t
forget the radio waves you might have heard him on in New York such as
Hot 97, Power 105, and WBLS. In 2004, Eminem and manager Paul Rosenberg
closed a deal for their own radio station on Sirius XM Satellite called
Shade 45. Tony Touch was quickly recruited to host TOCA TUESDAYS from
8pm to Midnight. TOCA TUESDAYS is also a weekly CLASSIC Hip Hop party
in which TT invites legendarty dj’s to guest spin.
Another
WEEKLY party he sparked was the FUNKBOX where he plays deep house music
with celeb guest dj’s. Both parties have been running over 4 years
strong….
Much Love,
