Titonton Duvante is a producer, DJ, record label owner(Residual Recordings), event promoter and all around arbiter of all things musically funky. Hailing from Ohio in the Midwest USA, he has been on a mission to provide the world with depth and warmth
Titonton Duvante has long been a cult favourite of those who know for well over two decades. Hailing from Columbus in Ohio, his musical and heady sound has a certain kick to it that root you to the floor yet always help you arrive at your destination. With more than 25 years in the industry, he has kept himself at the forefront of the scene both as a DJ and producer, spearheading his Residual Recordings (formed in 1998) with acclaimed releases from himself and many other artists such as Boo Williams & John Tejada. Being a multi instrumentalist from a young age reflects in Duvante’s ever green sound, with a class that will never fade away.
In the studio he has cooked up releases on a great deal of the vital labels out there, positioning himself where you dream to be when you start out as an artist. With over 50 releases to his name, Titonton is showing no signs in taking his foot off the gas. He is as productive as ever in 2023 with more lined up on a great variation of platforms. The coming years will see him casting a lot of attention to his Residual imprint, several records are already in the pipeline.
In the booth he is just as accomplished: his tight mixing and on point selections - as well as superb scratching skills - make for considered dance floor adventures that always get people deep into the groove. Old school yet firmly looking forward, he is a real master of his art who imbues everything he does with the sort of passion and knowledge that always stands him apart. Maintaining the rhythms of the past, and combining them with the fresh and unique flavours you will find in record stores of recent times.
Busy as ever times for the Ohio based DJ, recently he has played much loved and critically acclaimed events like Freerotation in the UK and Dimensions in Croatia;, Brave Factory in Ukraine, at all of which he did a live PA.
