"RETANUS" - The 2nd Album from Toki

In consistency with Toki's previous work, this album incorporates a worldwide musical stance that defies categorization; weaving melodic house, trap, and hip-hop into dystopian melodies. The album's sound is a melancholic, hardcore, but retains a feeling of fragility in turn with its' theme of 'emotional rebirth'.

'RENATUS' features American rapper BLKZEN, based in Brooklyn, New York; Chinese playwright Afra Cheng, who met and worked with BLKZEN in San Francisco; slam poet GOMESS, who spits unique words from Japan; and keyboardist TAKUMI, from the Japanese band STRIX.

In contrast to the linear intensity of his first album 'ANNIHILATION', 'RENATUS' mixes the heavy with the melodious, in Toki's own interpretation of the 'unconscious mind of humanity'.

In turn, 'RENATUS' will also serve to light the fire for Toki's further work to come.
