This is a very special EP. As many might know Toy Tonics started as a sublabel of now sleeping German indie dance label Gomma records. Gomma, along with DFA, Output Records and a few other was known for a very ecclectic, different approach in dance music. On this LOST GOMMA MIXES EP you'll find 4 now lost tracks that came out about 10 - 20 years ago on Gomma, but fit very well in today’s zeitgeist again. Pete Herbert, In Flagranti and Jaques Lu Cont are featured. Who knows about modern disco - knows these producers. And there is a very special name here too: Nicky Siano. The now legendary New York DJ used to be resident at Studio 54 and other legendary NYC venues of the 1970ies and 1980ies. One of his remix works was for the Gomma records band The KDMS. 
Pure disco euphoria.

PREMIERE: Soledrifter - Good Ol' Times (T.Markakis Remix) [Yesenia]

Out now on Rekids: lnk.to/REKIDS206

Mathias Kaden returns to Rekids with ‘Blackbird’, featuring a remix from Ian Pooley.

Last appearing on Rekids with the ‘Control Your Mind’ EP in 2020, Mathias Kaden now delivers his third release on Radio Slave’s label, teaming up with Zoë Xenia for the mammoth ‘Blackbird’ backed with a pair of remixes from house legend Ian Pooley.

Leading the A-side, ‘Blackbird’ sees Mathias Kaden reach for rumbling basslines, fluttering synths, and lush piano chords to craft a tense, building track enhanced by Zoë Xenia’s soaring vocal performance.

Additionally, an instrumental version of the track features on the A2, providing a welcome bonus for listeners and DJs alike.

On the flip, Ian Pooley twists the track into a rattling house jam, with wriggling keys, bouncing low-end sizzling percussion sitting under slices of Xenia’s effortless vocals. Rounding out the release is the ‘Basic Dub’ mix, which sees Pooley playing with classic dub techniques for a sharp instrumental take on the original.

Blackbird

Mathias Kaden feat. Zoë Xenia - Blackbird (Ian Pooley Pooley's Main Remix)

'Wave', originally a sultry slice of thumping house with assertive female vocal, gets a more spacey, trippy dimension from Italian Matisa (Steel City Dance Discs, On Loop, Permanent Vacation), adding high-pitched glassy notes, the vocal distorted and echoey, while losing none of the phenomenal energy and speed.

Catz 'N Dogz feat. ZENSOFLY & Maxville - Wave (Matisa Remix)

On ‘Talk To Frank’ sensual vocals set the tone for this bonafide hip shaker. A rhythm that implores you to dance, an inviting organ top line gives way to subtle acid grooves with both then working in unison over a classic house bass line.

The release opens with the titular ‘Proto Call’. A thoroughly diverse track ‘Proto Call’ melds disco percussion with elements of vintage Italian house, squelching acid and progressive all whilst chugging along with propose, a key feature of many efforts in Life And Death’s back catalog.

Exclusive: Thomas Garcia - Ya Dig

Debuting on Miura Records it's Los Angeles-based House producer Thomas Garcia hitting hard with his  four tracker called Down To Play as the artist chose rather playful approaches to House music's various sub-genres to present a homogenous work that does not spare to cross boundaries within the main-genre. With releases on Club Bad, Berlin House Music and more Garcia now joins Sam Paradise & Whatever Charles' conglomerate of feel-good music certainly taking the same line with his Down To Play EP as the label, Miura Records, suggests. The second track, Ya Dig, is Garcia's excursion into Deep House realms with the genre typical (echoing) atmospheric chords, which hover over the track's monumental yet groovey bassline. Ya Dig is rounded off with adaptational vocals pushing the track the track into a more housey direction without taking the deepness away.

Thomas Garcia's EP Down To Play will be released on Miura Records on June 30th, 2023.

"Lebensfreude" means zest of life. 
The label emerged 2004 out of a party series of the same name in Berlin. You may imagine what Berlin parties used to be back then, and how the name came about. And by that name we stood. We always put out music that was meant to be enjoyed. On the dancefloor or off. Dark, weird or pop. Techno, House or everything in between. It’s never been about a genre. It’s never been about a format, a medium, stardom, or a tone. And it’s never been about success. It’s always been about an attitude towards life. Call it punk or simply, Lebensfreude. Wildly eclectic, we release music we love, are intrigued by or that puts a smile on our faces. 13 years in and re-listening most of it still stands well against the ravages of time and the hype cycles of a contemporary electronic music industry that shouldn’t have become an industry in the first place. 
Guys, relax and be a little bit more Lebensfreude. But that just on a side note. 
We had small artists and big (Ruede Hagelstein), budding artists and successful ones (Douglas Greed), artsy artists and straightforward ones (Mathias Schaffhäuser), intellectuals and down-to-earthlings (Gunne & Zuckermann, or vice versa)))), but all of them carried the flame of a passion that put music first. Music and what it conveys. Music and what it can mean. Music that makes a difference - because it is different. More than just a tool, more than just a streamed commodity, more than just fabricated feelings to cover up those moments of emptiness, Lebensfreude and its records stand for the joy to be out there, to be alive. 

After some excursions into the spheres in between electronic and pop with the just released albums by Stereofysh and Pentatones, we will cut back for a while to that dancefloor where it all started from. Oliver Chlass’ new EP coming out in September will just be the beginning of a re-focused journey that will mostly be aiming at providing rather interesting music for the clubs. And that will have a bigger emphasis on the work by label heads Gunne, Zuckermann and Hans Klavier. Time to be lebensfreudig about our own music a bit more. In that respect and having gone full-circle, Zest of Life is the old Punk (with an improved haircut).
