Toy Tonics’ brand-new artist ‘GUINNY’ will be dropping her debut EP this summer. The blue-haired, 24-year-old Londoner is not just a DJ & Producer, but also a soul Singer and multi-instrumentalist, playing violin, guitar & piano! She packs her DJ sets with raw, intense, euphoric energy. 

Much like her music selection on the decks, GUINNY also makes music that spans across many different styles. Bottom line: she makes dance music with soul, with her ethos being “dance music that sounds like it’s come from humans, not just machines”.

While vocally she has been compared to the likes of Roisin Murphy and Jorja Smith, her innovative use of vocal layering and production techniques, somewhat evocative of the early days of James Blake, gives GUINNY’s tracks an exciting new edge dimension. It’s modern, it’s fresh, it’s deep, and it’s full of soul.

Released 29.04.24

Funkyjaws Music comes though with more of that lovely loose-limbed disco goodness that is never going to fail in energising a decent dance floor. Let's Dance Volume 4 is another various artists affair that launches with James Greenwood & Aniello's feel-good 'Look Of Love' which has it all - the sweet female vocal, the florid strings, the rolling bassline and big brass leads. Scruscru & Los Protos's 'Corason' brings some Latin flavours with a more deep and seductive groove and Jkriv and Love Drop offer up two b-side jams packed with soul and irresistible rhythms that effervesce with uplifting vibes.

PREMIERE: Scruscru & Los Protos - Corason [Funkyjaws Music]

Download/Vinyl/Stream: https://toy-tonics.lnk.to/RobotSalsaEP

Toy Tonics head honcho Kapote teamed up with the label’s Italian disco king Sam Ruffillo to make a Latin House EP for the summer. Three tracks that fit great with the new wave of latino beats invading the house dance floors this summer. The short versions of these songs might work well on radios, but the long versions are pure DJ and dancer’s fun. The two guys are probably Toy Tonics main DJ duo now. They have been DJing every weekend of the last year in some of the best clubs in Europe. They are residents at Panorama Bar Berlin now and have been invited to share the same stage as Kaytranda and Jessie Ware at Sonar Festival 2024. And they have the right music for this summer. Latin House!

After years of dominance of Afro House, the grooves of South America seem to become the new thing in many DJs sets. The influences from Salsa, Boogaloo and other tropical elements, the hard Latin piano riffs connected with cowbells and a lot of conga grooves were already there last summer. But now it's the time they take over many dance floors. 

On this EP Sam Ruffillo and Kapote played all instruments themself. No samples. Instead pianos, basses, percussion, and guitars were played by the guys. Vocals also performed by the boys. This stuff is made to sing along. The rhythms and the chords catch you immediately. The melodies make you join the „band“. 

People who know Toy Tonics and the guys well, know that the both come from „real“ music-making. The guys have been playing in bands, doing jazz and funk music, before becoming dance producers and DJs. And now they combine all these skills and turn it into musically super catchy dance tracks. 

Latin house is a thing now. And Sam & Kapote have the grooves for it.

Mid Level Boss: Bonus Round EP
Label - Shadow Pressings
Released - 28th June 2024
Format - Ltd Vinyl
BUY FROM - https://www.juno.co.uk/products/shadow-pressings-mid-level-boss-bonus-round-ep-vinyl/1024539-01/

Fledgling label Shadow Pressings already made a mark with their debut release in March entitled the Chicago EP, garnering love from Hunee, Terry Farley and Luke Solomon to name a few. Striking while the iron is hot, the label are serving up four more heavyweight club tracks which include acidic edits, crunchy deep house, 808 electro grooves and dusty breakbeats.
Lead track Find A Friend jacks up the perennial classic with 808 rims and toms and additional synths but keeps things loopy and rolling. Holding One Shoe continues with the 808 theme whilst injecting a healthy dose of acid resulting in what sounds like a long lost Yazoo B side filtered through a lysergic lens. Train Of Fools decontextualises a well known acapella making for a deep and techy basement jam which will keep the floor moving and the speaker pumping.
Closing out the EP we have More Music In The Night, which chops up some familiar samples and layers up an 808 electro groove and breakbeats for a fresh take on early 90’s house.

Besides that very title track, the record features LIGHT THE WAY in it's original version plus the stunning IRON CURTIS Illuminati Mix - we could not be any more happy with how this package turned out! But the fun does not stop there - for all you vinyl DJs, the wax contains the exclusive SCREEN OFF Accapella as well as a little IRON CURTIS Remix Reprise!

Toy Tonics comes with the first EP by Paul Older. Italian hero of vinyl diggers and maestro of rare edits. Paul is known for doing some of the sickest versions of rare jazz funk and Italian disco around. Played by every important DJ of the scene. Finally, now he did his first „legal“ record. Four mad tracks based on recording of real musicians and bands from the Sonoton catalogue that he reworked legally and created smashing tracks for the dancefloors. This is amazing organic dance music. Live bass, drums, guitars and keyboards... played in a Afro-American vibe turned into modern house and indie dance that will put every dance floor on fire.

Forever EP

Forever (Dan Lissvik Remix)

Hi friends, I present to you a compilation of remixes that I made between 2005 and 2010 of various artists that have either been rejected, unreleased or just straight up unfinished.  Some were made for fun while others were for hire.  Needless to say a lot of the mixdowns are, well, questionable. Either way, nice effort right?
With Love from Berlin,
