https://utopiarecordsinc.bandcamp.com/album/manabu-nagayama-soichi-terada-low-tension

Also features a stripped back rework by cult Japanese producer Yukihiro Fukutomi and Alexander Bradley himself with an extended deep, dubby and melodic Utopian mix. The mythical deep house works of Japanese producers such as Nagayama and Terada have become folklore with the latter's production for Nami Shimada entitled 'Sunshower' (featuring Larry Levan mix) his most recognized work. Pressed Loud and Limited on a 180 gram vinyl 12" with its original beautiful stunning artwork on a full picture sleeve - all the trimmings by Phonica / Vinyl Factory London.

Manabu Nagayama & Soichi Terada - Low Tension (Utopian Mix)

Toy Tonics delivers the 2nd pre-single of label boss KAPOTE’s upcoming 2nd album. An instrumental tune that combines melodic inspirations from German electronic music, Italo disco with the dreamy world of Japanese 1980s electronica and the vibes of 1970 fusion jazz. Yes, some might hear influences from Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yellow Magic Orchestra, Italian electronic disco or even Chick Corea’s electric jazz or Kraut Rock melancholy in the new Kapote tracks. And Prana & Passione is a good hint on how the whole album will sound.

Kapote started Toy Tonics Records almost 10 years ago with some friends, after he had been known under the name MUNK and his former label GOMMA records for years. He used to produce music for and with artists like LCD Soundsystem, Peaches, Franz Ferdinand, the first album of WhoMadeWho or the New York street art legend The Rammellzee. He changed the name when he started Toy Tonics as a new label that is dedicated to a dance floor sound that combines musicality, sonic diversity and positivity with DJ culture. While techno and trance became darker and harder over the last few years, Kapote and his artists wanted to offer new forms of house music that combine different styles from Afrofunk and American underground dance music to neo soul, Italian disco or French indie dance. A new dance sound based on good songs and fresh ideas to create real emotions on dance floors.

In the last few years, Kapote was mainly helping the young new DJs and producers that he found for the Toy Tonics label to develop their sounds (Coeo, Cody Currie, Gee Lane, Bárbara Boeing, Sam Ruffillo). But now, as the label and its artists started to „fly“, Kapote aka Mathias Modica finally went back to the studio and developed his own musical ideas. Sounds that are based on dance music and the 4 to the floor beat and go much further than the efficacy of a DJ tool. It's all about creating music that you can listen at home and creates positive emotions. Music that you want to hear on repeat.   

After his debut album as Kapote in 2019 and a solo EP called „Electric Slide“ and a collabo EP with Italian producer Sam Ruffillo („Robot Salsa“) this tune is part of the next Kapote album. It’s worth reminding Kapote’s former works as Munk: Four albums released on Gomma Records between 2005 and 2015 that are a wild mix of styles and that became legendary back in those indie dance days. Music supported by all kinds of DJs from Soulwax, Erol Alkan, James Murphy and Andrew Weatherall to Blessed Madonna, Seth Troxler, Folamour or Justice and Laurent Garnier.

Similar to Gomma Records, Kapote’s former label (which was active from 2003 - 2015 and used to become one of the key labels of the „indie dance“ scene of those years) in recent times Toy Tonics has become one of the key labels of the new house and growing indie dance scene. Only in 2024 the label made more than 100 Toy Tonics Jams, the label parties in 15 countries. Being invited to festivals like SONAR, KALA festival, Montreux Jazz festival, Melt and many more to bring their sound. And doing sold-out label shows in Europe’s leading clubs, from Phonox in London to REX in Paris. Including a new residency in Panorama Bar Berlin (the label's homebase).

Curitiba-raised, Milan-based Bárbara Boeing is back with Memoir EP, her second release on Toy Tonics.

After many years of digging for dance floor gems and fine-tuning her ear, Bárbara arrived at a point where she felt ready and inspired to make her own music, dropping her debut Brasiliana on Toy Tonics in 2023 - a collection of tracks that did not seek cohesion between themselves but rather aimed to reflect the breadth of sounds and genres that make their way into her DJ sets.

Since then, Bárbara has continued her journey from highly respected selector to music producer and now returns with 4 brand-new colorful and uplifting tracks. This time Bárbara took to the studio to collaborate on two EP tracks with Stump Valley and also reunited with Sam Ruffillo (both of Toy Tonics). The result is a 4 track EP that combines a mixture of 80s and early 90s music with genres that she usually brings in her sets as well as some diverse influences picked up while she was touring in Asia. 

17 years into honing her craft, Bárbara's highly acclaimed DJ sets are always peppered with music from her homeland and across Latin America, and span everything from Balearic, Proto and Italo House, Synth pop, Disco, Zouk, Kwaito and more. 2024 will see Bárbara play at diverse festivals such as Gop Tun and Lost Village as well as make her North America debut, while in recent years she's appeared on the bill at some of dance music's best festivals, such as Polifonic, Melt, Kala, Nuits Sonores, Time Warp, Listen, Lente Kabinet, Dekmantel Selectors and Dekmantel in São Paulo. 

This year she will also be launching her own party, Bárbara Boeing Convida (which means "invites"). As the name suggests, Convida will see her inviting artists she admires to play alongside her in different places around the world with editions already confirmed in cities including Paris, London and Milan. "I just love to bring my music to people," she said. "Showing people music is the thing that makes me the happiest.

Ralph Rodriguez, aka Ralph Session, is a New York City DJ and producer whose blend of New York and Chicago house style has gained support over the years from the likes of Jimpster, Mr. V, Cinthie, Oliver Dollar, Laurent Garnier and many more.

2024 has already been a big year for Ralph seeing him release on a dreamy line up of House labels. Highlights include Local Talk, Freerange with Juliet Mendoza, Quintessentials and now it's time to join the SlothBoogie crew for the Late Night Madness EP.

The EP starts off with Madness… a moody late night burner unveiling this release dedicated to classic house sounds. Deep chords and driving percussion swirl and build into a G-funk breakdown and bubbling synth tones.

You Are Here keeps the twilight vibes going and takes us on a seductive trip with chopped up jazzy loops, crackling drums and hushed vocals. A perfect love letter to the haze of the afters.

Finally on Against The Clock Ralph ratchets up the energy and heads for the peak time with powerful piano stabs and a strutting bassline guaranteed to make you move.
