Floating on Silence

At the behest of mute records and at the height of the "mash up" craze I created this bootleg of White Horse by Goldfrapp mixed with Lipps Inc, they wanted it mashed with I Feel Love , but I couldn't get the keys to match nicely. 

Anyways .. Godlfrapp didn't like it and its been sitting on my hardrive ever since. As techy disco house is not really my thing I forgot all about it. 

Then coming across it the other day I actually thought its alright ... So here it is.

The Ones - Flawless (Phunk Investigation Club)

Cover art features a photo by Edwin Pagan (Summertime, South Bronx, 1987). Contains a sample from Chris Payne's remix of Ira Levi's 1992 track of the same name (discogs.com/Ira-Levi-Free-Your-Mind/release/61038). All vocals that are not in the original track were written, performed, and recorded by Sami Douba (apart from the "free your mind" refrain).

LYRICS:
Let go of your pride
You don't need to be afraid, I won't bite
Look me dead in the eye
What if everything they told you was a lie?
I touch the same
I kiss the same
I love the same
Don't be ashamed
We could be free
We could explore
Baby, all you've got to do is free your
Free your mind

Rising Australian producer Jad & The is back on Toy Tonics with a stack of smooth and cleverly constructed tracks found on his 'Strings Never Win' EP, including the disco-tinged title track primed for the dancefloor.

Following releases on Mike Simonetti's 2MR, Sonar Kollektiv and Centre Source Records, @jad-lee has been steadily making his presence felt within the underground community focusing on soulful house. His latest work touches on multiples aspects of his sound with motifs of balearic rhythms and retro melodies. The new material is definitely right at home on Toy Tonics.

Look for the 'Strings Never Win' EP to be released August 25.

Plenty Loads of Loving (feat. Cindy Pooch & Celia Kameni)

After a barnstorming, blistering debut with us on Sprechen, Danny Russell & Ronald Christoph return with a follow up of more shoulder jerking & body shuffling inducing selections of chopped up disco house grooves on 'The Love Rescue E.P.'

Disco edits done right are the order of the day here across these 3 tracks, Love Rescue is one for the double handclap and group sing-a-long crew with snappy horns & rapid guitar strums alongside some clever rearrangement by the guys which makes this a big number!

'You Can Do It' defo jumps out of the disco and into the house...specially selected 2 bar & 4 bar loops with a stomping kick drum and a dub delay drenched vocal break resulting in a straight up peak time floor filler that wears its Roulé influence firmly on its sleeve.

'Night Dancer' boards the train to Italy and goes straight to Baldelli's Cosmic Club in all its arp synth glory. Add to that some smarmy little synth stabs & various other dubbed out cuts here & there before a HUGE vocal breaks right through and cements this one as an absolute banger!
