Here comes Sam Ruffillo’s new single “Dentro Di Me” from the upcoming album Tipo Cosi. 
The track channels ‘90s sensuality through a fast-paced, UK house-inspired lens. Sung entirely in Italian, it’s a bold and contemporary dance track where hypnotic vocals collide with high-energy grooves. Blending nostalgic textures with forward-thinking production, the result is a seductive, euphoric trip - equal parts emotional and club-ready.

Released 15.09.25

Introducing Toy Tonics’ Newest Artist: Martha Pinel!
Brazilian DJ, vinyl digger, party starter, and style icon Martha Pinel has officially joined the Toy Tonics family. Splitting her time between Rio de Janeiro and Berlin, she’s the founder of Assembleia, a laid-back Rio party that’s become a Carnival sensation, and co-founder of Croma, a music-meets-fashion project that shaped Rio’s alt-scene. Featured on the cover of GQ Brazil, she was named one of “13 artists changing the world.”
Her non-linear DJ sets fuse Afro-Brazilian rhythms, Middle Eastern grooves, Italo, disco, house, and Balearic sounds - always bold, emotional, and unpredictable. She’s played Boiler Room, Paris Fashion Week, KALA Festival, DGTL, and more, alongside names like Hunee, Antal, and Prins Thomas.
Martha’s debut EP Real Rio captures a rediscovery of her hometown—a city where beauty and chaos collide in dramatic highs and lows. Z The track Assim reimagines Marcos Valle’s classic Estrelar with collaborator Gabto, reflecting on Rio’s unique “Body Culture” - that unmistakable energy you feel walking along Ipanema Beach.

 TOY TONICS boss Kapote’s track “Mystery” gets the rework treatment from a heavyweight lineup: HARVEY SUTHERLAND, OPOLOPO, CLOSE COUNTERS with a bonus remix by French house master CASSIUS..
Each flips Kapote’s house anthem into something fresh – from jazz-funk disco to 1990s NYC house and proto-dancefloor bangers. A versatile pack for DJs chasing forward sounds.
It’s 2025, and TOY TONICS once again asks: what are the perfect vibes for the post-dark-electronic age? After a decade of hard techno and trance dominance, the label pushes soulful, positive, funk-infused club music.
Straight from Melbourne’s underground, Harvey Sutherland delivers his signature Neurotic Funk. The celebrated synthesist and producer, known for rich analog textures and ARIA Award–nominated work, injects his genre-bending energy into Mystery and gives it a unique new life.

Kapote’s new-school house anthem gets reimagined into fresh jazz-funk disco, 1990s NYC house energy, and proto-dancefloor bangers. There’s no way a DJ with a unique, forward-thinking sound won’t find a version to play.
It’s 2025, and once again Toy Tonics is shaping the soundtrack of the “post-dark electronic age.” After a decade dominated by hard techno, dark trance, and high-speed rave sounds, the label points toward a new horizon of groove, color, and emotion.
Close Counters - the Melbourne duo - elevate Mystery into an electrifying fusion of house, soul, and jazz. 
With lush synths and irresistible energy, they’ve earned the support of tastemakers like Gilles Peterson and lit up stages from Splendour in the Grass to beyond.

Danja Uosh - Nothing & Everything (Waffensupermarkt Remix)

JRBB:  Moebius Strip EP
(Additional beat production by COEO. Remix by Brandt Brauer Frick)
Label: Kryptox 

"...surprising, individualistic, cutting-edge and irrepressibly fun" (The New York Music Daily)

JRBB is a German 15 person big band that combines Jazz with Electronica. Additional beat production by COEO (Toy Tonics). On this EP is a rework from JRBB friends BRANDT BRAUER FRICK included. 
This EP is the first release on KRYPTOX: a new Berlin based label for Neo-Krautrock/JazzElectronica/Experimental music.

The new label is made by Mathias "Munk" Modica. The producer behind indiedance labels Gomma and Toy Tonics. (Modica produced records with people like James Murphy, WhoMadeWho, Peaches, Daniel Avery, The Rammellzee a.o.)
With the new label he goes a step further. Searching for new artists who experiment on a high musical level and go beyond boundaries. Far away form the traditional dance universe. 

The first release on Kryptox comes from JRBB. A 15 piece Jazz group that has a very own, new way to combine Jazz with electronic elements. A New York newspaper called it ODM: Organic Dance Music. A term that fits well.
Even if it's hard to pin down JRBB's music - as it is so unique. There is no other band like this. But there is growing new scene of musicians that combine Jazz with electronic styles: Artists like The comet is coming, Kemasi Washington, Moses Boyd, Yussef Kamaal, ...

All of the JRBB's members are in their end 20ies and studied Jazz at international high profile jazz universities. Leonhard Kuhn is the composer and arranger of most of JRBBs music and trombonist Roman Sladek is the band leader and producer. 
The four compositions on Moebius Strip are all based on a straight 4/4 beat pattern (that has been sound designed by Munich's upcoming house producers COEO). Over that rhythmic base JRBB expand their ostinato-horn/bass patterns that often start with simple one tone unisono lines, but slowly grow into huge, emotive, complex structured arrangements. Imitating the structures of dance tracks with breakdowns and DJ tool dynamics, but going much further. In JRBB's compositions you can hear influences from certain late 1960 Hardbob music, as well as 1970ies Jazzfunk and Modern Jazz and certain artists that came out of New York's Knitting Factory scene from the 1990ies.

In Germany there is already a buzz for JRBB's energetic live shows. Last year they played more then 90 shows. Creating huge euphoria wherever they come on stage. The buzz reached the artistic directors of Lincoln Center in New York: the holy place of Jazz in the USA. The director Meera Dugal invited JRBB. And so in August 2016 the band played there and was euphorically received by press and audience.

Lincoln Center impresario Meera Dugal talked to The New York Music Daily about the band: 
„Who here has heard German techno big band jazz before? This was a first for me! And I have to say: This large scale German ensemble is surprising, considering how individualistic, cutting-edge and irrepressibly fun they are – their instrumentation follows the standard big band jazz model. Stylistically, they're all over the map. This seventeen-piece outfit validated their reputation as one of the world's most distinctive and adrenalizing dance outfits.“
