Comment: TIO is a collective from Switzerland who has managed to get the spot upon a blend of afrobeat-esque grooves and psychedelic vibes. Of course, now and then it used to buck further, incorporating the elements of Orient-driven ethnic themes. More concretely, instrumentally lofty tube sections are interlaced with dashing drum sequences and vibrant electric organs. Moody and dance music as the main parts of the whole are represented there simultaneously.
