Words by Jordan Finkelstein - Editorial Writer at Urbanology Magazine

“There’s a new sound coming out of Toronto that will make you feel like you’re strutting down the street in a suede suit in the ’70s. All it took was an outstanding display of perfectly timed DJing, mixed with incredibly complex sound production”

“Toronosaurus Rex is a multi-layered masterpiece that shows Gabriel’s talent as a producer & instrumentalist.”

Words by Sarah Sussman - Associate Editor in Chief at HipHopCanada Inc.

“In keeping with the whole prehistoric direction of Toronosaurus Rex...Gabriel makes primal new wave beats. That’s his M.O. for this project.”

“I love how the project actually sounds like dinosaurs…Gabriel made it happen. Each beat’s title gives a subtle nod to some sort of natural element or animal.”

#ToronosaurusRex

Words by Sarah Sussman – Associate Editor in Chief at HipHopCanada Inc.

"The Toronosaurus Rex is in his natural environment on this one. I feel like Gabriel used this beat to take us on to a bit of a guided journey. He shows us that just because you’re utilizing

808s at the base of your beat in 2015, it doesn’t confine you to making trap instrumentals...The underling melody is in a minor key, which makes for an eerie unsettling undertone. It feels very primal."

Audio: Toronosaurus Rex (Produced by Gabriel Lis)

Toronosaurus Rex is track 10 and the title track for the "Toronosaurus Rex" Instrumental Album. It's got a knocking boom bap drumline and live instruments that make you want to get up off your feet.

Words by Jordan Finkelstein – Editorial Writer at Urbanology Magazine

"The title track of Gabriel’s new album of the same name, “Toronosaurus Rex” is a multi-layered masterpiece that shows Gabriel’s talent as a producer and instrumentalist. It relies on a consistent drumbeat throughout, broken up with highlighted segments of well-placed samples."

"The high-energy transitions are creatively unorthodox, but it’s when the beat kicks back in behind the catchy west-coast influenced rhythm that listeners are brought back to a familiar place – and what a cozy place it is."
