CC Bros. are back behind the spinning discs, turn those speakers up! 

Dale went all the way home to Scotland in order to record this one. In a b2b fashion with fellow CC Sound crewmate David, they dig into the troves, moving nimbly between all manner of soundsystem food.

Get ready for some vinyl-only buisness. Big up the Alvan crew, Stirling soundfam & Glaswegian MASSIVE.

Toolroom Trax welcomes a fresh new act to the label roster for 2025 as Stirling drops in with Dan Diamond and their collaboration ‘I Got Bad Habits’. 

The emerging Canadian DJ/producer Stirling has been turning heads this year with releases on Jewel Kid’s Alleanza, Gene Farris’ Farris Wheel Recordings and Don Diablo’s HEXAGON which is proof that some of the biggest names in the game are already watching him closely. Now, he steps onto Toolroom Trax for the very first time, teaming up with Florida-based vocalist and musician Dan Diamond. A familiar name to house heads, Dan revisits one of his classic hits from 2006, ‘Bad Habits’, lending his unmistakable vocals to a brand-new version fit for today’s dancefloors.

We work on bringing light-hearted, real House releases.
All our music is characterized by fat grooves and melodic main themes. We hope you'll enjoy our music and will mention "There Was Jack" as one of your favourite labels.
