Tritonal is an American DJ and music production duo from Austin, Texas consisting of producers and DJs Chad Cisneros and David Reed.[2] They are also known for hosting the Tritonia radio show, broadcasting from Sirius XM BPM channel 51.[3][4]

Biography

Formed in 2008, Tritonal, the Texas-based production and DJ duo consisting of Chad Cisneros and Dave Reed, are #65 on DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs of 2012[5] and one of MTV Clubland's "10 Artists to Watch in 2013".[6]

In their early years, they often collaborated with Austin-based vocalist Cristina Soto on their vocal tracks.[7][8] They also hosted a trance radio show known as Air Up There.[9]

In 2008, their track "Lights Over Austin" was featured on the Anjunabeats Volume Six compilation by Above & Beyond.[10]

In 2010, Tritonal formed the now-defunct trance sub label Air Up There Recordings (named after their former radio show) under Enhanced Music.[11] The first release was Hands to Hold Me by the duo with Cristina Soto.[12]

Their 2011 debut artist album Piercing the Quiet[13] produced eight top 20 Beatport singles, including five that held the #1 position on the trance chart for over three weeks.[citation needed] In September 2012, they released the remix album Piercing the Quiet Remixed,[14] which landed in the top 5 on the iTunes dance albums chart.[citation needed]

After 100 episodes of their radio show Air Up There, they ended it with a sold out, live performance in their hometown of Austin, Texas.[15] A new program called Tritonia aired on Sirius XM Electric Area, but now broadcasts Monday and Wednesday evenings from 11pm to midnight EST on Sirius XM BPM channel 51.[4][16]

In 2013, Tritonal switched their style from trance to house, which was reflected in their 2013 and 2014 EP series entitled Metamorphic. The first EP, Metamorphic I, was released on March 25,[17] with remixes of their track "Bullet That Saved Me" featuring Underdown released in April 2013. Also on April 16, 2013, Tritonal announced via social media that they would be joining Will Holland as co-owners and directors of Enhanced Music.[citation needed] Their sub label Air Up There Recordings had its last release on September 9, 2013.[18]

As of January 2018, Tritonal have produced over 200 original productions and remixes and have been supported by other DJs like Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Tiësto, Steve Aoki, Nicky Romero, Cash Cash, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz and more.[citation needed]

In 2013, they played festivals like Electric Daisy Carnival, Escape From Wonderland, Ultra Music Festival, Electric Zoo Festival, and Creamfields Australia.[19] In Summer 2013, Tritonal embarked on a major, 40+ city tour throughout North America.[citation needed] In 2015, their song "Untouchable" with Cash Cash made Billboard's Year-End Top 100 for Dance/Electronic songs.[20]

In 2016, they released their sophomore artist album Painting with Dreams.[21] In April 2019 they recorded and released their educational music production course where they teach aspiring music producers the techniques they use to create their music [22] Their third studio album, U & Me, was released in June 2019.[23]
