I'm still listening to the amazing track. Really great!

July 2021 is set to be the hottest one on record and Toolroom isn’t ready to cool down just yet. As we inch closer to the clubs reopening, Toolroom is set to drop a brand-new release from Martin Badder who makes his way to the label with the killer record ‘Dancing By Myself’. 

A long time coming for the DJ and producer who has released records on Love & Other, Realm, Nervous Records, Strictly Rhythm and Crosstown Rebels. As well as garnering support from Pete Tong, Danny Howard, Gorgon City, Steve Lawler, Joseph Capriati, John Digweed & Sasha to name a few, it’s no wonder why Martin Badder is quickly becoming one of the most prolific and exciting artists out there in 2021.

‘Dancing By Myself’ is no exception to this, the latest release from Martin Badder whose signature big room club sound hits differently.  A track that exudes a classy energy with its thumping House groove and funky bass line driving the record from start to finish. 
Topped with bright piano chords and an enticingly sultry lead vocal that enthuses they’d be happier ‘Dancing By Myself’, this is a big release from Martin Badder whose pure House sound will be a highlight on the dance floor for sure.

After teaming up with Jamie Jones to release ‘Rushing’ earlier this summer, Darius Syrossian returns to Defected for his latest musical output. ‘Come On Come On’ sees the DO NOT SLEEP resident flex his musical muscles by exploring a range of influences throughout, engineering the same soulful vocal sample to provide two genre-defying cuts. Opening with ‘Kouka’, a track that rumbles through with its intensified bass and tension building drops set to rock the most intense of sound-systems, while the vocal interlude at its centre adds diversity and intrigue. This is followed with the title track, where Darius delivers a dose of upbeat driving house, with a rubbery bouncing bassline and a chopped-up version of the vocal, delivering serious end-of-summer vibes. By exploring a number of avenues of sound with the same sample, ‘Come On Come On’ shows Darius’ breadth of musical knowledge, with a release that will keep a crowd on their toes.

Berlin-based talents Mat.Joe have emerged to become key names within house music since making their debut back in 2012, with releases via some of dance music’s most respected labels including Repopulate Mars, Relief, Hottrax, Armada Subjekt and Off Recordings, plus notable collaborations with the likes of Sonny Fodera on Defected, Camelphat on elrow Music and Kevin Knapp. Following heavy support from label boss Danny Howard in both his DJ sets and via his BBC Radio 1 show, the duo now debut on his Nothing Else Matters imprint this April to deliver their latest single ‘Off Ma Mind’. Opening with Mat.Joe’s signature flow, fuelled by icy snares and a bouncing bassline, ‘Off Ma Mind’ combines 80’s influenced melodies with colourful, yet punchy vocals to reveal another powerful release on the imprint and an impressive label debut in the process from the duo.
