Toolroom's popular club imprint is back with a label debut from rising Toolroom Academy star KEFFI who lands with his debut ‘Infatuate’ EP. The young DJ & producer from Scotland had only been making Dance music for around a year before enrolling in the Toolroom Academy's Production Certificate course and after receiving highly acclaimed A&R feedback from the Toolroom team and Academy tutor Ben Keen (Tuff London), it led to a straight-up signing to Toolroom’s Trax imprint. Influenced by artists such as Eli Brown, Harry Romero and ANOTR, you can expect to hear high energy House music with bags of soul and groove in all his upcoming productions. The ‘Infatuate’ EP looks set to shake up the clubs in no time with two slices of Trax finest. Watch out for this guy in 2022 and beyond as he looks set to deliver big things in the next 12 months!

Up-and-coming tech house talent Andruss collaborates with Umberto Pagliaroli and El Apache Ness on Mueve.
On the flip, Andruss joins forces with Fatboi, celebrating their South-American roots on Jamie Jones&#39; long-
running and internationally renowned label. Huge drums and fresh percussive sounds dominate the release.
Andruss explains the root of the EP. &quot;&#39;Mueve&#39; was born from the great support we have received from our latest tracks. It
is something that we have not or have never dared to do. The fusion of Latin vocals of the singer El Apache Ness fits
perfectly with the idea I had with Umberto Pagliaroli. Both the voices and the classic percussive finishes of salsa music
give a twist to this new production that we have great faith in reaching the top stores.&quot; The title track kicks off with chunky
drums and organic textures, with El Apache Ness&#39;s vocals upping the energy—an instant club classic. On Agáchalo,
Andruss teams up with rapper and singer Fatboi. Andruss explains the process in his own words. &quot;This track is very
special for Fatboi and me since we created it in less than 24 hours. I sent Fatboi a quick message, and he didn&#39;t hesitate
to record an improvisation of the track for me since we didn&#39;t have much time to deliver it.&quot; The result is a muscular tech
house tune with tribal drums in perfect harmony with Fatboi&#39;s husky vocals. A poignant moment for Andruss, who sums
up the track and the whole EP itself: &quot;From the feeling of releasing something in Spanish on a top British label, it makes
us feel very proud of our roots.&quot;
Born in Mérida, Mexico, Andruss is a rising star on the international house and tech house circuits. He&#39;s released on La
Pera Records, Bunny Tiger, South Of Saturn and many more celebrated labels, building a legion of fans worldwide. As a
DJ, he&#39;s shared the bill with Alok, Vintage Culture, Bekermat, Duke Dumont and several other established names. Italian-
born producer and DJ Umberto Pagliaroli has produced club-cut tech house on labels like Riviera Underground Music,
RIM, Toolroom and more, sharing his dynamic and upbeat sound with the masses. Born in Quilmes, Argentina, El
Apache Ness is a well-known vocalist, celebrated for his songs Joda En Mendoza and Somos Asi. His collaboration with
Andruss and Umberto Pagliaroli on Hot Creations marks a first for the artist.

I kept getting asked this question. "How does the Edge compare to the DFAM?" — had to answer them, right?

(And trolls kept saying "ah the Edge just sounds worse than the DFAM"...)

This doesn't actually pitch them against each other. Instead, it shows that they're indistinguishable in a track. By making them collaborate in a way that is almost entirely opaque to you, where they share sounds.

Oh. This also happens to be a percussion only jam. I've made a 3 minutes radio edit for this month's RedMeansRecording  challenge, which was:

"ONLY PERCUSSION — Make something using only drums and percussion instruments, synthesized or natural, pitched or atonal."

Miguel Bastida’s (1984, Granada, Spain) career has been steadily going up since he started DJing with only 14 years old, in the local radio station of his hometown, Alhama de Granada.
Nowadays living in Barcelona, Miguel has become one of the most in-demand Spanish artists worldwide, due to his versatility, great musical selection and charisma dominating the dancefloor.

Miguel’s influences initially came from bands as The Prodigy or The Chemical Brothers, and also from harder styles, like hardtechno and breakbeats. Besides, he had one of South Spain’s electronic music strongholds close to home: Industrial Copera. There, DJs as Ben Sims or Cristian Varela left a huge impression on Bastida, who also looked up to artists such as Nathan Fake, James Holden or Alex Under, during the golden years of minimal techno.

Miguel already dominated the mixing craft when he turned 16. After his first nights out, the idea of music production started to come to his mind. Picturing sounds with each song he listened to, Bastida started gathering with friends with the same ideas and taste for music, setting up his first live sets, which finally led to the foundation of his first group: the electronic music band Raíz Electrónica (Electronic Roots). After that, and thanks to his self-taught practice, he managed to dominate his first production software, Reason, changing to Logic afterwards. Today, being his weapon of choice when creating beats. His love for machines is also well known, especially for Moog’s creations and MIDI controllers.

With his family support as mainstay, helping at the family’s business in the morning and focusing on the studio sessions during the afternoon, Miguel was able to dedicate himself to his great passion: the creation of tunes. Music production has been, without a question, what has taken Miguel Bastida where he is today. After years and years of being locked up in the studio, he managed to create his own, exclusive and uncompromised sound, whose turning point came in 2015, with the release of ‘Moudness’, a track that managed to stay up in the Top charts of platforms such as Beatport. Before that, he already managed to knock on the doors of heavyweights as Umek and his 1605 platform. Then Sébastien Leger’s Mistakes Music came, followed by Mark Knight’s Toolroom; Deeperfect; Trapez, elrow Music; Marc Marzenit’s Paradigma Music; Dubfire’s Sci-Tec; and most recently, Suara, demonstrating all the styles he dominates. Today his productions can be found in the selections of artists such as Richie Hawtin, Paco Osuna, Luciano, John Acquaviva or Leger, Dubfire or Umek themselves.

As DJ, Miguel Bastida belongs to the exclusive group of Spanish DJs that has had the chance of touring around the world, presenting his repertoire in almost every country in the planet, from Australia and New Zealand to electronic music strongholds as New York and Chicago. His name can also be found on the line-ups of the world’s best clubs and festivals, managing to convince even the most demanding dancefloors of the scene.

Self-taught and entrepreneur, Bastida’s projects ended up naturally in the creation of his own label, Be One Records, that he manages along two of his childhood friends. Bastida is in charge of the A&R, while his buddies in Berlin and Granada manage design and social networks duties. Recently they created a sub-label, dedicated to support and give a chance to young and upcoming talents of the electronic music scene.

Be it as groove creator, selector or supporter of new talents with his label, Miguel Bastida is a safe bet for any record label, festival or venue that seeks to tear up their dancefloors.
