Download/Vinyl/Stream: https://toy-tonics.lnk.to/DiscoMusicEP

Toy Tonics comes up with a new house record by producer, DJ, vinyl digger FIMIANI aka BPlan from Napoli /Italia. This is a perfect combination of everything that forms the basis of real HOUSE music: Afro, Italo, Latin and Soul. 3 killer tracks for the disco dancefloors. Including the party anthem, DISCO MUSIC that has been played by Toy Tonics DJ since one year at every label party with amazing results. This is a HIT! Besides this the new EP also includes Cic Ciac: one amazing latin house song with vocals performed in Napoletan that could also work well in radio, and Drums from the Motherland, an afro disco track that connects perfect disco and neo soul house vibes. All recorded with real musicians (no samples). 

FIMIANI’s new EP is a follow-up to his debut on Toy Tonics called  "Amore Latino" EP. He makes house tracks that remind the early 1990ies New York house-sound of Masters at Work, François Kevorkian or Frankie Knuckles. Based on rolling funk grooves using lot of jazzy piano chords, organs, real bass players and horns. Besides doing his own tracks on Toy Tonics, he also does edits of rare Italian disco tracks for 3 years under his own imprint, Caffè Corretto under the name BPLAN.

FIMIANI who comes from the region of Napoli, (the island called Ischia), is not only a edit maestro and skilled producer, but knows the history and is deeply inspired by the Italian house scene from the mid 1980ies/ 1990ies.
People who know the history of dance music will be aware that the house is an Italo-Amercacn "invention". Italians not only created the music called Italo disco, that was the big inspiration for many (American) dance music producers of the 1980ies and 90ies. The Italians also created the blueprint for, that was later became House music.

House is an Italo-American affair, and Fimiani is a late example of this perfect union. And Fimani is a perfect exemplae how to connect all the basic inspration of real house music: Italo, Afro, Latin and Disco.

Longo's sample, is the closest example to a perfect loop that I can think of. There are very few grooves with such a strong combination of funk, power and shuffle.
Looping and filtering, mentioned all too often as an uncool and lazy way of making music, probably a result of the huge amount of bad releases that the techniques are associated with. This release in your hands is the first of a series paying tribute to the crate diggers whose samples and loops in my opinion, are milestones for house music and club culture. Loops that I never got tired of listening too, even for more than two decades in some cases. With the original compositions often sought after and repressed, here we're paying respect to original "sampling artist" rather than the "sampled artist", outrageous eh?

Well done Longo and well done Delgado!

Third and final track of the stellar EP, 'Wish I Didn't Miss You' is the perfect round-up to finish everything off. An elegant female vocal hook met with a selection chord progressions, both guitar and piano pave the way for a big drop with basic elements, but very effective at that.

'Frankie Meets Pauline' is this Summer's classic party anthem, a throwback to Felix's Chicago House roots, the cheeky vocal samples in this track raise as many rye smiles as they do pumping fist, so get dancin'! 

Felix commented, "Frankie Meets Pauline is a mashup production I did dedicated 2 thee scene I grew up in, in Chicago listening to Thee likes of Frankie Knuckles, Farley Jackmaster Funk and Ron Hardy...This sound 2 me caught thee essence of Chicago in the 80's, resonating and pounding, sweat-drippin walls, bass beatin' clubs like the Warehouse and The Music Box.
