PREMIERE: Tone B. Nimble - Jesus [NeighbourSoul Rhythms]

Following the success of his last RS release, 'Ripples,' the enigmatic Wallace returns to Rhythm Section after a series of stellar releases with a highly anticipated follow-up - ‘Papertrip’

This is another Wallace record that is destined to be a global club and festival favourite. His last releases received extraordinary support from such a wide range of DJ’s including Gilles Peterson, Palms Trax, Blond:ish, Moxie, Hunee and DJ Tennis and this new EP is set to expand this roster of supporters.

Wallace's impact on the scene has been nothing short of extraordinary, since Ripples he has gone on to play in the iconic Panorama bar, tour Japan and release a double LP on Mule musiq. Wallace continues to cultivate a dedicated following among discerning listeners and industry tastemakers alike. Now, with the forthcoming release, Wallace is poised to ascend to new heights, continuing the undeniable and contagious Wallace-maina.

Label mainstays Fouk just dropped the perfect dancefloor Bomb with ‘Mirage’ paired with a high-octane Elisa Bee remix 

We all know Dutch duo Fouk from their soulful, bouncy take on house music. They’re also responsible for some of Heist’s biggest tracks like Kill Frenzy or their Lil Louis inspired 2021 release ‘Blue Steel’. On their new EP, the talented duo shows us a fresh side of their sound: the main-room hands-in-the-air-going-wild side. To top things off, Italian producer Elisa Bee made time in her busy schedule of DJ’ing and releasing for artists like Ben Sims on his Hardgroove imprint and Unknown to the Unknown to deliver a killer remix of the title track. 

Fouk’s return to Heist after 3 years is a welcome one and with ‘Mirage’, they might just have given us their biggest house track in their decade spanning career. The track is built around a stuttering synth loop and a seductive female vocal chanting ‘What made you wanna…” The real star here is the bassline, which propels the track into a seriously infectious groove. Add some lush strings and moody changeovers and you’ve got yourself a full-blown dancefloor weapon. Mirage has been a staple in Dam Swindle’s sets for the past months and has been one of their set highlights ever since.

“Coffee” is one for the classic Fouk fans. It’s got lovely Rhodes, a joyous combination of whoo’s, snare-rolls and synth hits grooving on top of an infectious orchestral background loop. “Tapioca” is a hybrid latin-electronic groove that builds on punchy synths, live percussion and drunk keys to balance the energy of the track. 

Elisa Bee’s remix of ‘Mirage’ is an intense percussive workout that builds on a breakbeat loop and a rave-bassline. The tempo is turned up a notch or 2 and that stutter synth and vocal of the original make this remix a wild warehouse affair.

Closing track of the EP is ‘Abalone’; A lovely bleep-house affair that still has a bit of that warehouse vibe. It’s got the perfect amount of distortion the drums while keeping things dreamy with some face-melting pads throughout the track. 

As always, enjoy the music and play it loud!

Our Toronto friends Sean Roman and Toronto Hustle are back with the second EP on Local Talk. This time it's not a co-op and instead they deliver two individual jams..but with a common theme.gospel meets house!

Sean's track 'Cry no more' is a deep, warm and melodic house cut with a killer gospel loop (spot the sample?)

A new Toy Tonics EP! By label boss Kapote!
4 tracks for the dance floor inspired by Italo Disco, New Wave Funk and NYC 90ies House. 
A perfect sound for the new Y2K vibes on 2024 dancefloors.

A new Kapote release is a rare thing. Although he is a musician and producer in the first place, he rarely releases music. Why? In the last years, he was busy DJing every weekend around the world (as a regular at clubs like Berlin’s Panorama Bar and London’s Phonox, but also Festivals like Melt or Kala) and creating the Toy Tonics madness with his label friends. The Berlin based label that is the home base for 15 international artists (Cody Currie, Coeo, Gee Lane, Athlete Whippet, Baby‘s Berserk, Stump Valley…) became THE brand for colorful and diverse, innovative and ‘organic’ funk oriented post - digital dance music.
Kapote and his friends release music that connects analogue and band vibes with digital production in a very fresh and unique way. Influenced by European underground disco and American house, as well as Afro beats, new wave and soulful Electronica.
But he and his label have also achieved a great reputation for working with some of the hottest names in Berlin graphic design and art to release the limited edition Toy Tonics Shirts, the label's own TT Pocket Poster Magazine, posters and organizing exhibitions and visual shows.
Kapote aka Mathias Modica was and his three members, TT krew were busy building all this. 
Including also the Toy Tonics Jams. The label parties that started in an illegal venue in Berlin 2020 and exploded in 2023. With more than 120 TT events all over Europe. Where the label represents his very own vision of sound, vibe and style. Kapote organized all this with his krew. And it looks like 2024 will be even busier. With Toy Tonics Events at clubs but also museums (Palais de Tokio/ Paris, Milano Design Festival) or Kapote & Toy Tonics Crew playing with Kaytranada and Peggy Gou at Sonar Festival.

In case you missed the last production works of Kapote check out his album ‘What it is’. Originally relased 2019. Re-released with new songs 2023. Or some of the 5 EPs he did on Toy Tonics in the last 8 years.
In case you don’t know his work under the name of Munk on his former label Gomma records (RIP) check it out. Kapote aka Munk co-produced the first two albums of Danish band WhoMadeWho, NYC art freak The Rammellzee, disco albums for Peaches and Nancy Whang of LCD Soundsystem, singles with DJ Chloe and many others.

Album released: 29.03.24

A new Toy Tonics EP. It’s the second by Venezuelan house DJ and producer Gee Lane. Including amazing remixes by NYC mainstay musclecars!

Gee Lane’s debut EP Metamorphosis (with remixes by Demi Riquísimo and Divorce From New York Remix & PIEK ) came out last October. 
But as Virginie (her real name) is a steady name of the Toy Tonics crew now and plays almost every weekend at one of the worldwide Toy Tonics Jams, it makes sense to put out a follow up fast.

Gee Lane originally from Caracas, now living in Barcelona, is a passionate DJ and vinyl digger with an extraordinary positive energy and attitude. A DJ diva in a positive way. A unique personality with a very strong style (in music but also as a person) and very elaborated ability to read and play with the dancers. Like the first EP, this one has also been recorded in Barcelona and Berlin with a little help from Robin Braum from Athlete Whippet. The music reflects well on her roots and passion for everything that came out of New York’s dance culture. You can hear influences from the 80ies promo disco scenes as well as the 90ies Body & Soul/ Francois Kervorkian / Joe Claussell universe. In fact, Gee Lane after being raised in Caracas and musically educated by her father from a very early age (a composer and musician), moved to New York at a very young age in the late 90ies, where she fell in love with the HOUSE scene. And especially everything that happened at the famous and influential 'Body & Soul' club. 

This culture increased her curiosity to become a DJ (and vinyl digger herself) who is not just interested in house music but wants to explore other genres such as funk, Hip-Hop, jazz and Latin sounds and include these vibes into her DJ sets. As vinyl collector (and long-time record shop employee) since then, she is known for her musical eclecticism, which leads her to mix everything she wants...

Released: 02.04.24

Elisa Elisa - What about me EP
1. Lift me up
2. You no good to me (Melé remix)
3. You no good to me
4. Whistle me

Franco-Algerian musical nomad Elisa Elisa lands on Heist with a warehouse infused EP + a drum frenzied remix by Melé .

With a wild fusion of musical roots, Elisa Elisa has found her sound in emotive, percussion driven house. She uses her own vocals to add atmospheric depth to her tracks and with a knack for acid lines and driving chords, her tracks have the type of energy that could keep you going all night long. Her music first popped up on our radar after her releases on Heat Up (topping the charts with her debut release), and He.She.They with the track ‘Girl I got you’, that got rinsed by the Heist crew since its release. Her recent release on Melé’s Club Bad records, Panorama bar gigs and a feature in the book ‘Lady of the House’ about women in electronic music really helped cement her position as a rising voice in modern day dance music.

The ‘What about me’ EP kicks off with warehouse anthem ‘Lift me up’. Roughed up drums and toms set the pace while Elisa Elisa chants in loopy fashion ‘Our rhythm is moving’. It’s a fitting vocal for this track, that reaches its full energy when it breaks down into ravey stabs, uplifting vocal chops and a nasty acid line. 

Club-bad owner Melé is a man who knows his peaktime jams. It’s fitting that he was so enthusiastic about this release and chose to remix ‘You no good to me’,since he just released an EP by Elisa Elisa himself on his excellent ‘Club Bad’ imprint. His version is a bubbly electronic affair that has his worldly percussive style all over it. He cleverly chops Elisa Elisa’s vocal and adds layers and layers of tropical bad-assery ona track that grooves like Brazilian carnival and packs a punch like the Liverpool warehouse parties Melé grew up with.  

The original of ‘You no good to me’ takes a more stripped back approach and sees the artist dive into a rave-tinged drum workout with added vocal chops and a killer acid line. The EP closes off with “Whistle me”; a deep burner with a Midwest-inspired synth progression, and -of course- whistles.   

There’s a great crossover energy in Elisa Elisa’s debut on Heist between all the good things of house music, acid and African rhythms and we’re excited to have her on the label.

UK house mainstay Nail has some long roots that go all the way back to the Nottingham scene of the mid-cities as part of the DiY crew, while he also explored more downtempo sounds as one half of Bent. He is still very much kicking out the jams all these decades on, always with a nice sharp groove and crisp hi hats. That is the case again here with his Mercy EP on Kick-n-Dance which ones with the striped back and infectious 'Broccoli', gets more deep and vibes with 'Lettuce' and comes doused in soul in the case of the flipside opener 'Whas Happenin' which channels Marvin Gaye. 'Spring Greens' is another smart tech house closer that does everything right.
