Parallels - Get In The Mood

So I made this in about 200...9 or something - I was living in Hackney at the time and was often listening to Rinse FM where there was a lot of UK funky being played which I absolutely fell in love with, including this track - 'Skanker'. I was booked to play at a night in Bristol called Work so thought it would be fun to make a VIP edit using the Masters at Work vocal of the same name for the occasion. Sent it to a couple of DJs that were playing other stuff I had done around that time and it grew from there to the point where it's still getting regular plays today from all kinds of quality DJs almost 15 years later like Ben UFO, Madam X, Modeselektor, Sam Binga, Barnt (random one but cool) and loads of others.

If you don't know it, it's one of the biggest, baddest peak time tracks ever and will flatten whatever venue you play it in with its mega drum power!

Comment if you want the download :) (it only exists as a 320 but still bangs on a club soundsystem)

“Songs that guarantee wheels!”: @yourboykiran’s rowdy tracks and sets tear up raves

"With this mix, I wanted to showcase some of the sounds I love from artists and cultures around the world, and give a taster of what I DJ, make, and take inspiration from! There are songs that make you want to dance, songs you want to singalong to, songs that are guaranteed wheels! From Baile funk to UK funky to UKG to Jersey club to dubstep to footwork to a whole host of 140 and 160 bits… I love playing these out, I love making them, I love listening to them.

Wherever you’re listening to this, I hope you enjoy!"

DJ Lag - 01 October 2023

Pre-order: toribio.bandcamp.com/album/tongue-in-cheeks-ep

The four tracks @toribiomusic created for 'Tongue In Cheeks', BDA’s first release, comprise a horny melting pot of tribal house and Linn-drum plug-ins, minimalist synth textures and basslines, hi-hats reminiscent of electro and freestyle classics, some of which are infused with New York’s Latin club history and futures.

A guest vocal appearance by @theillustriousblacks on 'Work Dat Shit' shows the breadth of Toribio’s regard for the local community, a funky, sexy, booty-shaking number with no unifying formula.

Premiere: Toribio 'Work Dat Shit' (ft. The Illustrious Blacks)
