Forteba was born and raised in Hungary where he chooses the occupation of an electronic music producer at the age of eighteen. His early compositions were settled near breakbeat and chill-out area but he soon found his passion in straight rhythms and arrangements inspired by German deep-house stuff. He likes to embed various elements of dub and ambient into straight clear rhythms, so his borders of style are hard to define. He produced some successful singles in his home country as “The Garage” together with Gábor Pasztoriális and got released at Hungary-based underground labels. Within this important period he built up his own studio and consequently founded a lounge-band with a friendly musician. He spent much time on touring with that band and pushing his production skills to the limits the following two years. The next person who got involved in the productions of Forteba was Zoltán Nagy of From P60. He got responsible for mixing the tracks. That caused another rise of the high class standard Forteba already had set. The listeners and critics have been convinced about the state-of-the-art sound by his debut at Plastic City.
Finally we arrive at his first album where he reinterpretes and develops house in all possible facets. Forteba is more than scratching at the surface – he’s instantly diving into the emotional world of the listener and captivates his audience with always warm, diversified and excellent tracks. Starting with the vastness of a dive with closed eyes (“Fortune in your hand”) he guides you to minimal, soulful sounds (“Ain’t nothin") and finishes the circle with deep floor-burners (“Rainbows of the moment”) – his album is offering everything you need to forget everyday life as you press the play-button. The array of tracks is well thought out – you will forget time…and press “play” again.
Broad, deep, breathtaking beautiful…
