Ireland
Toby Kaar
ESNS: 2012
When Toby Kaar is working on a new song, he is already bored with the song he made just before. The producer from Cork, Ireland, nowadays studying Creative Music Technology in Bath, is rapidly evolving in music. It makes you wonder what kind of jewels there are to be found in the trash bin of his computer. Luckily there is Soundcloud where we can hear what he has been up to, like remixing for Nouveaunoise, Sacred Animals and Fela Kuti. Kaar has got a healthy aversion to the 'sounds like' boxes on the internet, not strange for a musician who transforms as fast as him. So we will not only advice fans of Star Slinger, Gold Panda and Four Tet to go and check him out, we will advice everyone to go and watch his show. Because he was the musician who was the big revelation at the Ones To Watch Festival in Dublin. After his show at Electric Picnic someone wrote: "The sheer enthusiasm emanating from the stage – you won't see an artist happier to be flicking buttons and dancing behind a desk all weekend. "
