Athlete Whippet - I Think I See

Download / Vinyl / Stream: toy-tonics.lnk.to/Nogueira

Athlete Whippet return to Toy Tonics with an EP showcasing emotionally layered dance tracks and their refusal to stick to genre conventions. The duo are synonymous with sublime cuts that are just as suited to late nights and early mornings on the dancefloor, as they are to home-listening, this perfectly exhibited on the "Noguiera" EP.

The four-tracker is named after a remote place in the mountains around Rio de Janeiro where it was made on a creatively fruitful getaway in 2021. It's sentimental, joyful, bouncy, and futuristic, and showcases the duo’s musicality combining bass guitar and piano, with hardware synths, loops and fragmented vocal samples.

Robin explains - "Spending time in Brazil in recent years was a blessing. The nature, culture and musical heritage over there is beautiful. Mostly in solitude, as I ended up spending most of my time in a remote place in the mountains around Rio, music became the only real emotional outlet for a while. So in a way this is a record of dance music created as far away as we’ve ever been from the dance floor!"

Both from a live performance background, Robin and Avi met studying at Goldsmiths London and found their way to the dance floor via playing in bands, Robin a guitarist, Avi classically trained in trumpet and later on picking up the keys. Absorbing the community of South London, they eventually set up artist collective and record label Squareglass - a proudly established home for new artists coming out of the area. They’ve remixed for the likes of Rhythm Section, collaborated with Olugbenga, and their releases have come with reworks from Ross from Friends, Cameo Blush, Baltra and Seb Wildblood. In 2021, their hybrid sound found a new home with tastemaker German label Toy Tonics who released their "Vesta" EP in May, followed by a run of European tour dates including Funkhaus Berlin, Phonox London and Amsterdam Dance Event.

Made between London, Granada, and Berlin over the course of four years, @aphty_khea's next EP, 'Salt & Copper', takes the shape of a warm, soulful five-tracker via @squareglass.

The record's title track, 'Salt & Copper', tells the story of an emotional sexual encounter by the sea whilst menstruating, and embodies radical self-love, accepting and finding a home in your own body even when society deems it as filthy, unwanted or taboo.

Premiere: Aphty Khéa 'Salt & Copper'

Addressing the process of coming to terms with being non-binary and genderfluid, Aphty Khéa’s new single ‘Company’ speaks candidly of social anxiety issues and paints a myriad of emotions through rich electronic music production. With previous support already secured for their upcoming EP Salt & Copper, including a Mixmag premiere and a Kaltblut feature, ‘Company’ further demonstrates Aphty’s cosmic soundworld and sincere songwriting – as well as the singer-producer’s sensibility for creating deeply affecting grooves.
