If you think things couldn't get hotter, then you have no idea what's coming next on Toolroom. Label founder Mark Knight returns with his most anticipated release yet for 2022 and this time it's a truly special occasion as Mark enlists Dance Music royalty Armand Van Helden for their debut collaboration, 'The Music Began To Play'.

An artist who needs no introduction, Grammy nominated Armand Van Helden is one of dance music's most revered figures, with a career spanning 30 years and a vast discography which includes hits such as 90's classic 'You Don't Know Me' to his seminal hit 'My My My'. His productions and sound have certainly transcended the confines of Dance Music, influencing mainstream popular culture. With a list of collaborations spanning Dizzy Rascal to Steve Aoki, not forgetting one half of Duck Sauce with turntable wizard A-Trak, Armand Van Helden has a reputation as one of House Music's finest producers.

On a roll already this year, Mark Knight has firmly cemented both himself and Toolroom back into the club with a string of collaborations in 2022, from 'You Are A God' with James Hurr and Cari Golden to 'What I Need' with RETNA, Mark seeks to continue this trend with 'The Music Began To Play'. Kicking off with a hard-hitting, thumping House groove and electrified bass line that drives the record hard, pushing the mix to the absolute limit. Before dropping into the track's golden moment, sampling the 1979 classic Disco cut 'I Don't Need No Music' by T.J.M, a gem of a record and one that encapsulates both Mark and Armand's love for classic cuts. Together, 'The Music Began To Play' is an instant classic in the making, masterful work from two of House Music's finest showing us how it's done.

Riding the waves and crashing onto Toolroom next is Sydney-native Alex Preston, who returns with one more slice of Summer; a Disco-tinged floor filler 'Hunching'. A familiar face for fans of the label, Alex Preston's unique blend of 4 to the floor dance music and live Funk guitar riffs have swept through clubs the world over, moving feet and bringing those feel-good vibes.

Certified guitar virtuoso and label head of his Australian 'Basement Sounds' imprint, Alex Preston is one prolific artist. From mixing the 'Toolroom Poolside 2020' album, to releasing his sun-soaked belter 'Love You Better', a cool cut record sampling 'Peg' by Steely Dan that's sat on over 4 million streams across streaming platforms. Along with a discography of seriously hot records under his belt that have done the business moving dance floors worldwide, 'Hunching' is sure to fire up any club it's dropped in.

Ticking all the right boxes on this one, 'Hunching' kicks off with its infectious groove and bass line, throwing in some lush strings, Chic-esque guitar flits and an 80's inspired saxophone break that adds some serious flavour to the record. It's safe to that, that when hear a new Alex Preston record, they always ooze class, sunshine and good times!

Rounding off September, buzzing Swindon based artist CHANEY returns to Toolroom, following up his earlier hit on the label ‘Love Again’ with a Disco Tech banger ‘Bet You I Do’. Having kicked off 2022 with his standout single on Toolroom – ‘Love Again’, an emotional cut of Piano House which swept through the scene racking up 4 million streams alone on Spotify along with national radio support. CHANEY switches it up a gear with his latest Toolroom outing, bringing a sun-soaked, energetic vibe on ‘Bet You I Do’.

From cutting banging Disco edits on his Southwest Soul Club EP on Canadian label KooKoo Records, to his collaboration with BBC Radio 1 Dance Anthem host Danny Howard on their ‘This Beat’ EP on the selectors own Nothing Else Matters imprint, CHANEY is a name that will be on the tip of everyone’s tongues by the end of 2022. Cutting back to ‘Bet You I Do’ is a record that’ll make you wish you were back on those open-air terraces, good music playing with a drink in hand until the early hours. Whatever genre and sound CHANEY turns his hand to, it always comes out as a total dance floor hit! Good times all round on this one, and CHANEY has delivered one last slice of summer sun before we head into the Autumn months; get to know ‘Bet You I Do’ now.

Exceptionally talented keyboardist, DJ and producer Moon Boots (Peter Dougherty) has revealed his third studio album ‘Ride Away’. The ten-track LP will land on March 17th on Anjunadeep. The first single, ‘Hot Minute’ featuring Black Gatsby, is out today.

Written and produced over a nearly two-year period beginning in early 2021, ‘Ride Away’ contains themes of love, companionship, and personal exploration. Hauling in a crate’s worth of musical influences, Moon Boots has imbued ‘Ride Away’ with his characteristic blend of soul, disco, and house music, whilst also introducing the sounds of synthpop, breakbeats, and psychedelica. Marrying these eclectic styles is part and parcel of Moon Boots’ idiosyncratic sensibility, honed through years of living and DJing in Chicago, the birthplace of house music, and in the musical melting pot of Brooklyn.

‘Hot Minute’ is the first single and features the vocals of longtime collaborator Black Gatsby. With a sassy chorus that echoes Anderson .Paak and Sylvester with a gospel-inflected breakdown, ‘Hot Minute’ shows off the full range of Black Gatsby’s talents and his unique musical rapport with Moon Boots. This bop is a tantalising taste of what Dougherty has been up to in the studio.

‘Hot Minute’ follows the recent release of ‘Come Back Around’ which featured indie darling Cherry Glazerr. The summer anthem was named ‘Coldest Record’ on BBC Radio 1 and supported by the likes of KCRW, Triple J, and SiriusXM.

Featuring a swathe of colourful vocalists including the likes of Cherry Glazerr, Dope Earth Alien, and Nic Hanson, ‘Ride Away’ celebrates Dougherty’s longstanding affinity for collaboration, fun effervescent songwriting, and dance-focused production. Other international artists on the album include French singer Praa and Norwegian band Ora The Molecule, whilst longtime collaborators Ross Clark (St. Lucia) and Steven Klavier feature as writers and instrumentalists on the record, rounding out a global ensemble of incredible talent.

Having accrued well over 100 million streams on Spotify alone, and having been championed by the likes of Annie Mac, Diplo, Danny Howard, and The Blessed Madonna, Moon Boots has established himself as a trailblazer of R&B-infused dance music. Having released on legendary French house label French Express, and remixed the likes of Dua Lipa, Robyn, and Nile Rodgers, Dougherty’s production prowess is in high demand, whilst his eclectic DJ sets and live shows (including a full live band) have seen him tour the world, with recent headline shows sold out across North America and Australia, and a full live tour expected in 2023 to celebrate the release of Ride Away.

Swedish Disco duo Drop Out Orchestra join forces with Mishell Ivon to deliver an uplifting Gospel Disco House groover, ‘He’s Always There’. Loaded with a message of hope and love, Mishell delivers a heartfelt soulful vocal set to a funky live feel groove, adorned with a groovy bass and catchy harmonica hooks. Also on the package, UK House legends K-Klass bring a taste of the 90’s, ramping up the energy with an upbeat piano house make-over, and Dafia boss Mannix adds his signature elegant Disco touch, rounding off another feel-good release for his label, having recently scored a Traxsource No.1 with his ‘No No No’ single.

Sweden’s Drop Out Orchestra take their cues from original Disco pioneers such as MFSB and DFA, launching themselves in 2008 with an array of bootlegs, re-edits and covers that glittered across the dance floors, toying with tracks by everyone from TLC and Daft Punk to Rick Astley and The Sex Pistols, transforming them into luxurious, soulful Disco affairs. As a result, they found themselves remixing the likes of Black Strobe, Flight Facilities and Paul Weller, among others. Their original tracks, including collaborations with Ronika and LCD Soundsytem’s Nancy Whang have graced labels such as Eskimo Recordings and Gomma. The duo bring live elements back into dance music, blurring the divide between live and DJ performances by incorporating live bass and electronics, which has seen them play alongside everyone from Fatboy Slim to Gilles Peterson.

Singer / Songwriter Mishell Ivon signed her first artist contract with Production duo Irmgard Klarmann and Felix Weber, who also had works with artists such as Chaka Khan, Expose and Toni Braxton at the age of 14. With this team Mishell had releases on Dome Records and several releases on labels in Japan. Since then, Mishell Ivon has been an international singer in various bands, touring shows, as well as for film, TV and radio. She feels at home in Funk, Modern funk, Disco, Nu-disco, Soulful House and many other genres, which is why many say her strength is vocal and writing versatility.

‘He’s Always There’ (incl K-Klass & Mannix Mixes) will be released on Traxsource promo October 28th / Full release November 4th 2022 on Dafia Records.

‘Ghost of Arms’, the dark synth-pop jewel from @cursesforever & @terr_music is about to get the remix treatment thanks to an exciting line up!

Italian born, Florence-based @matisaxx is injecting a more than efficient trancy and bumping prog house energy into the original, while staying true to its emotional side. A glorious version tailored made for euphoric hands-in-the-air, get-lost-in-the-moment scenes in the clubs.

Paris-born composer, orchestrator and Musique Concretist @wladimirschall delivers a beautiful and fascinating stripped-down interpretation.
Built around an infectious hazy melody and ethereal guitar chords, in that melancholic setting, Terr's reflections on lost love resonates even deeper.

South Korean producer and dj @shubostar speeds up the pace a bit with her synth-driven, Italo inspired remix. Now draped in her signature cosmic sound, Terr vocals are more moving than ever, Curses soothing guitar action are floating all around, all of it invoking the bitter-sweet melancholy of a reflective night ride.

Out november 11 on Dischi Autunno.

Yo, it's been ages since I uploaded here! Bit of a curveball for y'all - this is the original full-speed version of "Yes, No, Maybe", which was part of Lowlight 2! It has a different vibe pitched up and sped-up. Way more dance-able!

BTW I drop most of my stuff over on Spofity and Soundcloud nowadays - you can find those links in my sidebar. :)

Kurd Maverick is back on Toolroom for the first time in 7 years, and what a return it is! As always, we’re ending the year with a huge, party infused record and ‘Dancing To’ ticks all the right boxes! 
 
Utilising that classic ‘Jesus Can Work It Out’ sample that originally came from the Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer Choir way back in 1980, and more recently Karimiza used the same vocal sample in 2017 and had a huge hit with ‘Work It Out’ that became an Annie Mac firm favourite, and it was this record that made this vocal instantly recognisable among clubland today.
 

With added doses of groove, and percussion, we’re sure that this party fuelled house record will become an anthem all over again!
 
Big stuff from Kurd Maverick, and what a way to end 2020 for Toolroom.
