The long awaited debut album Bennu by Queens, NY based produced Thor Partridge, aka Thornato.
Building up a name for himself over a number of years as a proficient and in-demand remixer, Thor's breakout tune "Gaita Gaita" has been sampled thousands of times by producers all over the world, and has become a certified hit record in South America. A string of remixes and a couple of rare song releases later, Thor's groundbreaking Things Will Change EP garnered massive buzz and record sales, resulting in a European tour that summer, and a Boiler Room performance in the fall.
Bennu represents a giant leap forward for Thornato, as he showcases his chops in crafting dancefloor gems from the ground up. While the electronic production of the album provides a strong backbone, Thor has carefully selected artists from Jamaica, Ecuador, South Africa, Colombia, Canada, and beyond to breathe live energy into each song.
