ST08A1 Junktion Prologue

Outplay’s second outing on vinyl is here! This release features three tracks by Outplay’s Daniël Leseman on a well deserved solo EP. The tracks have the warm and gritty feel we’re so crazy about. Together with Daniël’s signature bright brassy synths and his use of the right samples, it makes this EP a package with a fantastic funk and groove!

From a small town in Normandy hails the beatsmith, DJ and Musique Large Records boss, Pierre Troel (a.k.a Fulgeance, Claude and one half of Souleance alongside Soulist).

Whereas Fulgeance’s tracks can sometimes be defined by a headier, more thrashy temperament, a different sonic undertaking is also explored by Troel when producing under his Claude moniker, illustrated by our track of today “That Jazz”. This bouncy-yet-smooth sound exemplifies house music’s jazzier (hence the apt song name), purple-tinged temperaments; a style frequently emanating from Berlin-based imprints such as Tartelet, Money $ex Records and Box aus Holz. It’s therefore not very surprising that the EP’s final track is a dreamy synth remix by Tartelet and Money $ex affiliate, Glenn Astro. Here’s hoping that more collaborations are underway.

Claude’s Whoop EP drops in full, both digitally and on vinyl, on 25th September.

Claude "That Jazz" - Boiler Room Debuts

A journey through the dual nature of existence: from darkness to enlightenment, from chaos to divine structure. Each piece unfolds like a secret geometry of consciousness, interweaving fragments of thought with higher frequencies of consciousness. Sound becomes a mirror of transcendence, where the negative is transformed into the positive and the abstract reveals its sacred logic.

Enter the world of West London based producer, Books. Stepping up for his debut release, the producer and instrumentalist joins the XVI Records Crew with a hauntingly jazzy jam. Laced with dreamlike chords, charming keys and a ghostly chanting vocal and a midnight saxophone solo that sets the track off. 	

Out Friday 6th May, press play on the i-D premiere of @booksdj’s Things We Do.

EP release date: 8 March 2017

Newcomer Cody Currie looks to Better Listen Records to host his sophomore EP after lighting things up with his debut on Pusic late in 2016. The effort is stacked with deep disco stylings similar to that of sample + synth maestros Brame & Hamo and Fouk. It’s an exquisitely layered effort from the London kid, one which will please the intellect and dancefloor demand equally.

Tell - Sorry, I Was Miles Away

More new members in the Toy Tonics family: JOEL HOLMES & CODY CURRIE joined the Berlin crew. They will release a couple of EPs. 

You might know Joel Holmes: American jazz pianist and keyboard player who has been member of Roy Hargrove’s legendary Grammy nominated band, but also is part of Carl Craig’s synthesizer ensemble. Joel is living in Berlin now, where he is involved in the new vibrant Neo-Jazz scene. (Yes! Berlin used to be a Techno city, but it’s becoming kind of a Jazz town now!) 
In Berlin Joel throws monthly jam sessions (the Urban Base Jam) where the creme de la creme of Berlin ex-pad jazz musicians meets up. American, Europeans.. Crazy things can happen here. Like when Erykah Badu played Berlin in 2019 and her complete band came to jam at Joel’s session after their gig.

Joel now takes the next step: he teamed up with Cody Currie: 24 year old London born talent, who already made some waves in the house scene. Cody is known as a stylized producer, with a unique recognisable sound. Much of his craft was homed in studying a bachelors in music in London. His most known work by now might be a jazzy reinvention of ‘Devils Shoestring’ with over half a million plays on SC and YT. With his new works Cody is coming away from sampling, Working only with live instrumentation.

Joel & Cody both  live in Berlin now where they met Toy Tonics head honcho Mathias „Kapote“ Modica. And when they met there was a vibe. All three have their roots and jazz music share similar ideas about how dance-music should evolve and could sound in 2020. (In fact Kapote Modica studied jazz piano, too and has been playing in bands before getting into electronic music)

Joel & Cody are working in a great Berlin basement studio, at Cody’s home. Working on a new way of combining jazz-funk with real musicianship, MPC grooves and live instruments to get a new , fresh approach on  dance-music. And there will be a lot coming up in the next years.
