Scab (feat. TYSON)

Championed heavily by Gilles Peterson, lovetempo’s modern soul classic “But I Do” gets a vinyl release with a trio of remixes. Crackazat delivers in his signature style, weaving the organic elements and earworm vocals of the original into a deep and jazzy mix. Londoner Daisybelle bumps the BPMs up a few notches and adds pulsing synths to her take, and Brazilian duo From House To Disco turn in a dubby club remix to round out the record.

If there’s one record you’ll want to have this summer, it’s Ossie’s ‘That’s a vibe’ EP. The London producer makes his debut on Heist with an irresistible dance record loaded with high-energy UK grooves and a fair nod to classic US house music.

DJ/producer Ossie Aneke a.k.a OSSIE has been releasing music for over a decade, releasing forward-thinking electronic productions on crucial imprints such as Hyperdub, Skepta’s Mas Tiempo, Brownswood and his own Supercali music. His Heist release features 4 tracks that are rich in sound, sampling and vocals and are all filled to the brim with personality. 

The EP kicks off with ‘That’s a vibe’; a shuffling and breezy affair with a quirky, high-pitched vocal and lovely chord chops that all fit together perfectly. The production is immaculate and you can hear Ossie feeling totally comfortable in his sonic space, where he takes the best parts of London and Chicago and blends it into something totally unique. With that catchy melody and vocal, this one is quite earworm. We've been playing this one out a lot, and the reaction from the crowd (and track id requests) are great (as seen in our recent raw cuts set in New York).

“Are you still smiling” ups the tempo and takes us deeper into the London sound, with a riff of pulsating strings, garage drums and a nasty bassline. This track, (which could have easily been on Daphni’s latest album) has everything we like about contemporary electronic music. It’s full of feelgood elements, quirky samples and a groove that will get the even the stiffest hips shaking. 

Ossie is not one to go for the same trick twice, and he’s very well capable of going deep as we can hear on ‘Clay clay’. On this track, we see Ossie pay homage to classic US house music, with minor chords looping over a crunchy diva vocal and a solid house groove. The EP finishes off on a high note with ‘True freedom’: a track full of energy with sampled chords and lots of vocal elements working together to great effect. The percussion programming is clever and full of forward momentum and the bass is so fat it probably won’t fit through club door.  

Ossie delivers an EP that’s unique, catchy and produced with such confidence, that these tracks have already become a staple in our sets. 

Get ready to dive into the sound of Ossie and as always, enjoy the music and play it loud!

Introducing a New Toy Tonics Artist: Martha Pinel!
Brazilian DJ, vinyl digger, party starter, and style icon Martha Pinel has officially joined the Toy Tonics family.
Based between Rio de Janeiro and Berlin, Martha is the founder of Assembleia, a laid-back Rio party that’s become a Carnival sensation. She also co-founded Croma, a project fusing music and fashion that helped shape Rio’s alt-scene. Featured on the cover of GQ Brazil, she was named one of “13 artists changing the world.”
Her dynamic, non-linear DJ sets blend Afro-Brazilian rhythms, Middle Eastern grooves, Italo, disco, house, and Balearic sounds - with a bold, emotional touch. She’s performed at Boiler Room, Paris Fashion Week, KALA Festival, DGTL, and more, alongside names like Hunee, Antal, and Prins Thomas.
Martha Pinel’s debut EP, Real Rio, was born during a moment of rediscovery in her hometown, Rio de Janeiro, after spending a long time abroad. This project is a celebration of that reconnection, capturing the city’s most authentic and visceral aspects - a place where beauty and chaos coexist, with dramatic highs and lows.
The first single "Espírito de Estado" embodies the spirit of the Carioca Carnival, the greatest party in the world. 

Released 11.08.25

PREMIERE: Benjamin Long - Bossa Dreaming [Limited White Label]

In November 2019, eight artists from Kenya, Uganda and the UK spent a week in Nairobi together exploring new tangents in soul music.

The group, collectively known as Extra Soul Perception, is made up of Faizal Mostrixx (Ug), Hibotep (Ug), K15 (UK), Karun (Ke), Labdi (Ke), Lex Amor (UK), Lynda Dawn (UK) and Maxwell Owen (UK).

Every day of the writing camp they worked with a new combination of artists, putting their powers of improvisation and collaboration to the test. The result was a body of work that reflected their range of backgrounds, interests and disciplines: acapella harmonies, soft spoken word, transcendental gqom, razor sharp swahili rap, bumping broken beat and beguiling RnB. The tracks capture a spirit, unique to a place and time that won’t be replicated again; an energy and atmosphere forged by open minds and prodigious talent.

The first EP of music made in Nairobi will be released in Spring 2020, titled New Tangents in Kampala, London & Nairobi Vol.1. It features five tracks by all eight artists in different combinations, and three cameos.

A1 Lex Amor, Hibotep & Faizal Mostrixx -Ancestry
A2 Maxwell Owin & Xenia Manasseh feat. Joe Armon-Jones - Probably Never
A3 Lynda Dawn & Bes Kept - Roses
B1 Faizal Mostrixx & Karun - In My Soul
B2 K15 & Labdi - Utokapo

Leading the EP out is first single ‘Probably Never’, by London DJ and producer Maxwell Owin with Nairobi singer Xenia Menasseh, featuring pianist Joe Armon-Jones. The track was born out of a series of improvised moments that epitomises the spirit of ESP. A low-slung gospel-sampling beat Max was playing around with late at night with no real purpose, whispered lyrics laid down in minutes on the final day in the studio during an unplanned-but-welcome cameo, and keys added by a supportive housemate as it was being finished in London.

It followers EP teaser ‘In My Soul’, released earlier this month featuring Kampala dancer and producer Faizal Mostrixx with Nairobi singer Karun rapping in Swahili for the first time; as if Obongjayar had been processed through a Hyperdub filter.

All five tracks from the EP will be performed live for the first time on the ESP. tour, featuring all eight artists performing solo and collaborative sets:

22 Feb: The Jazz Cafe, London
23 Feb: Band on the Wall, Manchester
24 Feb: 24 Kitchen Street, Liverpool

Tickets and info about the project: www.extrasoulperception.com

ESP. is supported by British Council, Arts Council England and Analogue Foundation.
