Tom Zeta 
From Now On In EP
incl. Angelov and Renato Cohen
remixes
Release Date: 2 nd  July 2021

Sincopat proudly welcomed back the Dutch maestro Tom Zeta to the label after 
the great remix he did for us a few years ago, now to showcase a timeless EP/mini 
album that includes amazing remixes by Angelov and Renato Cohen.
Tom Zeta is well known for his colourful and organic textures and Keep Them 
Coming is a good example of these. The talented Ukrainian artist Angelov 
masterfully reworks the tracks keeping the essence of the original but adding his 
own signature.
The catchy melody of Merry Go Round hypnotises you and transports you into 
Tom's complex and unique sound full of different influences. Meanwhile Renato 
Cohen delivers a another another dance-floor beast, transforming the original 
from a disco minimalism prism to drive you into a total madness. 
Tom's drumming skills are embodied into Hi Hat, funky rhythms all around plus 
brillant synth programing make this song a exquisite piece of music. 
Last but not least Woven Story closes the circle and acts like the perfect ending 
for this magical journey created with so much care and detail. 
Enjoy!

SPÆCIAL PREMIERE: Ali X Ximena - TikkiTaka (Cu Da Curuxa Remix) [LOGIA]

Artist bio: Viktoria Jauregui started as a DJ in 2017 in her hometown La Plata. She is co-creator and resident Dj of ''Etérea Cadencia'' and ''Technomic''. Her sound represents a fusion of Indie Dance and Melodic Techno, playing live with neat mixes and captivating audiences with compelling sounds. She is currently sealing her own tracks and starting to move them around the dance floor.

Founded in 2023, Modula is an electronic music label with a unique proposal in the Buenos Aires music scene. His sound aesthetics can be associated with indie dance, dark disco or melodic techno, but the fundamental essence of his music is the conditions of its production: the use of analog synthesizers, sequencers, rhythm machines and other hardware devices that they use the artists that belong to the label to produce and perform their music. That is where Module finds its identity. The sound exploration, the aesthetic search and the time dedicated to these artisan processes of composition and completion of the music differ from the current accelerated processes of electronic production and place the label's participants on the radar of artists who stand out for the use of these instrumentals and the curatorship of said music.

Soraya - IN DARK WE TRUST #318

DL/Stream: https://Toolroom.lnk.to/HeyGirlsTS

Crusy drops his biggest record yet on Toolroom! This Spanish superstar in the making has been on a meteoric rise since his Toolroom Trax release ‘Selecta’ blew him up on dance floors across the World in 2022 with support from Carl Cox, Nic Fanciulli & John Summit. Since then, he has signed with Toolroom management and is releasing frequently on Defected, Claptone’s Golden Recordings and Danny Howard’s Nothing Else Matters whilst collaborating with the likes of HUGEL, Dombresky and Low Steppa racking up an impressive 20m streams in the process. His diary is jam-packed with shows all over the world including USA, Ibiza, Mexico, Canada and more.

This record hits that sweet spot where the underground meets the accessible. A peak-time, acid-laced Tech House roller that borders on Techno at times, with that ‘Hey Boy, Hey Girl’ vocal sample made famous by The Chemical Brothers in 1999. A DJ’s dream record, this is a huge moment for Crusy!

Golden Age Mix

Brainchild of Multi Culti A&R, Sascha Funke and Niklas Wandt were introduced by Dreems, who charted a course for the seasoned Berlin-based producer and funky multi-percussionist and singer. 

Wandt was just about to enter the scene forcefully with his collaborative 2LP with Wolf Müller and the debut single of his band Neuzeitliche Bodenbeläge. In the icey cold of his warehouse rehearsal space, Funke had him record a variety of slapped, bowed and scratched percussions (congas, talking drum, prepared cymbals played with a bass bow) over his tracks. These first efforts were later expanded into joint sessions at Sascha's home studio and, within a few weeks, the journey reached it’s destination: Wibe strasse, Deutschland.

At first glance, they seem an odd couple: a techno veteran of almost thirty years meets a side-burned upstart socialized in Free Jazz and Krautrock. but the shared sonic influences come through in the hypnotic, dubbed-out sound, perhaps rooted in the close connection the two share to the Rheinland region in West Germany, Funke as part of the Kompakt family and Wandt by origin and socialization in the Cologne and Düsseldorf music scene centered around the Salon des Amateurs. Regional flavours, global appeal. Multi Culti, promoting local collaboration, one freaky record at a time.
