Italo House at its Best!  This track is a fresh new take on a tune originally released in 2014 by Toy Tonics head honcho Kapote — back then under his former alias MUNK. What was once ahead of its time now sounds more relevant than ever.
A true dance floor weapon, this rework brings that unique, new-school Italo vibe to any party. Originally produced during Kapote’s indie dance era, it reflects the raw groove and forward-thinking spirit of that time.
In case you didn’t know: before Toy Tonics, Kapote (as MUNK) ran the legendary indie dance label GOMMA, collaborating with acts like LCD Soundsystem, Peaches, WhoMadeWho, and The Rammellzee.
Now, Toy Tonics proudly re-releases the track, updated and re-energized, along with killer remixes by Musumeci, Romain FX, Azari & III, and Audiojack.

Daniel W. Best first heard Louis Baker, a New Zealand-based soul singer, perform "Keep On" as the opening act for Fat Freddy's Drop at the Tempodrom in Berlin in 2024. He knew he wanted to create a remix package of the song. His label partner, Andre Lodemann, was also impressed when he heard the track, so he did a remix himself. DJ Philippa and Hollis P. Monroe also delivered amazing remixes. There is something for everyone here. Stay tuned for Part 2 of the remix package on Best's Friends Music, featuring remixes by Delfonic, Larse, and Gush Collective.

Louis Baker is one of New Zealand’s most compelling voices in modern soul. Hailing from Newtown, Wellington, Baker crafts timeless songs with rich vocals, honest lyricism, and deep grooves rooted in soul, R&B, and jazz. His breakout came early—selected from 4,000 global applicants to attend the Red Bull Music Academy in New York—collaborating with legends like Just Blaze, Q-Tip, and Brian Eno.

Since then, Baker has made an indelible mark with multiple APRA Silver Scroll nominations (including the standout single Back on My Feet), and a self-titled EP that hit #3 on the NZ charts. His debut album Open (2019) and follow-up EP Love Levitates (2021) drew global acclaim, amassing over 45 million Spotify streams and praise from the likes of India.Arie and Rolling Stone.

Live, he’s equally at home in intimate clubs or grand concert halls—performing with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, touring across Europe, the UK, and Australasia, and appearing at international festivals including Sziget and Sonar. Deeply connected to his Māori roots (Ngāpuhi), Baker infuses his music with heritage, hope, and heart.

My AI Loves Me Better Than You (Rougir Edit)

Once upon a time, in a galaxy not far away, there lived two kings. Each was the ruler of his own deliciously glorious planet. The first king, Manchildblack, was well known throughout the cosmos for his ethereal vocals, celestial sonics and earthy musical messages. The other king, Monstah Black, was a star in the solar system for his gravity defying performances, gender​ bending fashions and spacey disposition. One magical night, an inexplicable ultra​magnetic pull forced the two planets to collide. A technicolored explosion occurred, turning night into day, with a feast of aural and visual delights. It was then that the universe was changed forever. Manchildblack and Monstah Black united and became The Illustrious Blacks.

With inspiration from extra terrestrials like Prince, David Bowie, Grace Jones, Boy George and George Clinton, The Illustrious Blacks have arrived with a mission to fuse futuristic funk, hypnotic house and cosmic pop into pulsating positivity for the planet. The real life married couple are not only co​-pilots on their artistic voyage, but are united in their fantastical journey through life.

In 2017, The Illustrious Blacks released their highly anticipated debut EP, NeoAfroFuturisticPsychedelicSurrealisticHippy, on Concierge Records. The EP features the high energy single "Blast Off," the seductive "Red Light," the thought provoking "Delusions of Grandeur" and the anthemic "Black Like Jesus." In the same year, the dynamic duo also found time to work with producer Nickodemus on a remake of the 90s dance floor classic "Funk That!," which spawned a popular music video. 

The acclaimed duo found even more praise for their epic live shows, which fuse music, dance, theater & fashion as the ingredients to expand minds, shake bootys and save the world one beat at a time. Toward the end of summer 2017, The Illustrious Blacks landed their electrifying live show, Hyperbolic, for a three month residency at the legendary Joe's Pub at The Public Theater. 

If their music and live shows are meant to elevate you into the stratosphere, then The Illustrious Blacks radio show, "On Air w/The Blacks," is an opportunity to experience their inner space. The entertaining and often hilarious weekly series invites listeners onto the mothership of the charismatic couple, where they discuss the latest happenings in global pop culture on WBAI 99.5 FM in New York.

Individually, Monstah Black and Manchildblack illuminate the galaxy with equal magnitude. Together, as The Illustrious Blacks, they have combined their powers and metamorphosed into supernovas, blazing through the Milky Way like a comet, with their own unique brand of cosmic freak nobility.
