With both artists' sonic palettes rooted in an ethos of soul and authenticity, BCee's and Javeon's first piece of collaborative work is every bit as beautiful as you'd expect: https://Javeon.lnk.to/Worshipsh

Titled 'Worship', the pair serve up a heavenly slice of drum and bass music that encapsulates what both musicians are all about. Firmly planted in the serene sounds that have become BCee's signature over the past two decades, the infusion of Javeon's beguiling vocal lines and touching songwriting sees 'Worship' add another piece of soulful brilliance to the Shogun Audio catalogue.

Toolroom are immensely proud to welcome the Chicago legend, Green Velvet, back to the label as he locks horns with Toolroom founder Mark Knight and studio partner, James Hurr, for ‘The Greatest Thing Alive’. A low slung, chunky affair that screams Miami Space terrace at 8am! Quirky, full of character and Green Velvets unmistakable vocal re-work of the classic ‘Mannish Boy’ from Muddy Waters pushes this record into a really special place.

Green Velvet debuted on the label back in 2015 alongside Technasia with ‘Suga’, a record that went onto to be an overall Beatport #1 and remained as their highest selling track for many years that followed, the track also sits on an impressive 9m streams.

In 2022, in their review of the Chloé Robinson and DJ ADHD ‘Steamin’ EP, Resident Advisor predicted that “we'll be hearing from Chloé Robinson for summers to come…” This summer that predication is set to come true as the Pretty Weird label founder, DJ and producer Chloé Robinson once again teams up creative partner and fellow club-sounds tour-de-force DJ ADHD on a collaborative new EP set for release on fabric Originals this September. 

Individually and together, Chloé Robinson and DJ ADHD are becoming one of the most formidable and creative pairings in the electronic music circuit today. Adding to a string of successful releases and collaborations, today [16.08.23] they announce a brand new EP set for release on fabric London’s imprint for original club orientated music, fabric Originals. 

Dream EP is a dedicated and detailed collection of sounds that melds an enthralling blend of their signature polyrhythmic techno, electro, UK garage and more, cementing the artists as multi-skilled producers with an array of sonic strings to their bow. Primarily though, at their heart, these tracks simply lace together enthralling, dancefloor oriented club-music bliss. Three collaborative tracks from the pair plus one solo track from DJ ADHD make up the project, with the new track ‘Get Me’ out today to mark the announcement. 

With previous releases and collaborations like Chloé’s production debut on the EP Steamin’, which included the Four Tet remix of ‘Pax’, and subsequent explosive tracks like the ‘Get In The Bin’ featuring Nikki Nair, the duo have made a considerable impact with their productions, seeing in rave reviews from publications like Resident Advisor, DJ Mag and Mixmag. Now, the duo are back with a four-track EP that omits rhythm, textures, flavours and vocals that bring us straight back into no-frills dance floor bliss.

"It’s always been a dream to work with fabric as a label, years and years before my production journey had even begun! I consider the establishment my family and have had a close relationship to the venue and team for over 10 years, I’ve even curated a few events there which is incredible. To now be following up with my very own EP on the new fabric Originals series leaves me speechless. DJ ADHD and I are sitting amongst some major pioneers in the game regarding roster and we’re both extremely happy with the music and the finished product. The tunes are bouncy, fun and a great representation of our sound! Thank you team fabric for having us on board and I’m absolutely buzzing to share this with the world!" - Chloé 

= 

"After nearly a year since our debut release together I’m super happy that our second EP is coming out on fabric Originals. We’ve been sitting on these tunes for absolutely ages and it’s great that they are finally seeing the light of day on such a sick label." 

"This whole EP has been a staple in our sets across the world and has been getting loads of love, so getting it into the hands of the people is super exciting!" - DJ ADHD

This exciting duo have cemented a name for themselves as one of the most exciting new dance acts to emerge from the UK in recent years. They have already worked with the scene’s elite including Solardo, Goodboys and most recently, Becky Hill on her brand new single ‘Never Be Alone’.

They amassed almost 30m streams last year alone across key platforms and graced the decks at the legendary Tomorrowland festival last Summer. Their Toolroom debut dropped in 2023, an epic collab called ‘Over’ with Westend, and this brand new single raises the bar even higher.

It sounds like a real progression in sound. Maintaining incredible melody throughout with that signature synth sound, but yet adding some disco-influenced bounce along the way, and the result is another dance floor weapon to add to the ever-growing Maur armoury! 2024 will be an incredible year for these talented producers and we are proud to have them as an integral part of the Toolroom Family.
