About Me

D.J. Toscano famoso per le sue serate all'insegna della dance anni 70/80 FUNKY-SOUL-DISCO & AFRO.

Di recente è tornato ad esibirsi in serate a tema, dedicate alla musica da discoteca 70/80, suscitando un notevole interesse, per le sue famose Play-List, che offono musica che va dal Funky-Soul-Disco all' Afro-Jazz, e non solo c'è spazio anche per la musica Brazilian e Electronica, una ricerca musicale, la sua, molto ampia e varia, che da sempre contraddistingue le sue esibizioni dal vivo...
