Cody Currie & Kapote together in the studio! Delivering a 4 track EP that connects proto-disco, neo soul, Chicago house beats and jazz funk in a very spontaneous, super catchy way.
Cody, the London multi-talent musician, and Kapote, the Berlin-based creative head of Toy Tonics have a lot in common. Both come from studying jazz, knowing different instruments, having played in bands, and at the same time being DJs with a huge passion and the skill to rock thousands of people every weekend at the Toy Tonics Jams with a wild mix of different music. They have what we call THE VIBE. Soulful, catchy, intense. When they play records at a party and when they work on tracks. Both play keyboards, bass, guitar, and drums. Both sing. And both have funny nicknames that journalists gave them: Cody Currie was called “the Tom Misch of House music” and Kapote the “Wes Anderson of electronic music”. Makes us laugh but also fits well. And yes: Both are a bit crazy... like every extremely talented musician.

Released 28.04.25

PREMIERE: Salary Boy - Mistakes [Shadow City Records]

Here’s the first teaser from Fred Everything’s upcoming LP "Long Way Home", coming out in June on Lazy Days Recordings.

For the first single 'Wherever You Go', Fred keeps things sunny and balearic, welcoming in the summer sun. The rhythms are jacking, but the melody keeps it cool and breezy. Fred invited Lauer of Tuff City Kids to deliver two great versions of 'Wherever You Go' which will be included on the flipside, keeping the balearic vibe intact while adding a dose of acid tuffness.

*The track has been reduced to 128kbps to discourage illegal downloading*

Exclusive Premiere: Fred Everything "Wherever You Go" (Lazy Days Recordings)

Two years after his collaborative project with Blonde Redhead, Lele Sacchi returns on Rebirth with the explosive ‘Dreaming Won’t Do’.
 One of the icons of Italy's electronic, house music scene, behind the decks since 1995 and still a driving force behind Milan's clubbing scene, Lele Sacchi  released music on some cool labels such as Moodmusic, Soul Clap, Systematic, 20-20 Vision, Get Physical, Internasjonal (Prins Thomas’ label). He is still running Radio2 Inthemix on the national state FM RAI and launched his own night ‘Iconic’ in 2017.
 
‘Dreaming Won’t Do’ is a cheecky and charminig disco track with an infectious melody and a balearic touch, taking  inspiration from italo disco.  The piano line coming after the breakdown is going to drive everyone nuts.
Lele says “This song represents my love for both soulful and electronic music. The mixture of 80’s sounding synths with house and a boogie-funk vocal is the full expression of my long standing djing carreer. And it’s an honor to have such great artists an friends like Tiger & Woods and Benoit & Sergio on remix duty. They both did killer versions !"

The mysterious duo Tiger & Woods are back with another powder-laced slice of disco-house with a killer groove. From Washington, DC's Benoit & Sergio delivered a remix adding a deeper vibe with heavier bass  and spacious chords. A strong release !

It's great to have Hot Toddy pay us another visit, here are some kind words from the folks at Juno about the release 

Three years on from his latest solo outing, Crazy P founder member Chris Todd AKA Hot Toddy returns to House of Disco with a predictably fine four-tracker. Our pick of a very strong bunch is the toughened up, revivalist electrofunk flex of "Wilde Touch", where clipped guitar riffs, crunchy Clavinet lines and colourful melodies ride a rubbery bassline, though the Paper Recordings-era Crazy P deep house/disco fusion of "Still We Are" is almost as impressive. Speaking of Crazy P, lead singer Danielle Moore lends her distinctive vocals to the Imagination-ish Brit-boogie business of "Positive Emotion", while the EP's other track, opener "Synthesize", is a darker and more spaced-out chunk of weighty, bassline-driven nu-boogie goodness.
