We've been waiting so long to welcome the one and only MNTRA to the roster. As avid fans of the Boiz House project, we've been drooling over MNTRA's recent productions on notable imprints like OKNF Records, Box of Cats, or even his self-released slew of unique electro swing jams. MNTRA breathes new life into the B-Side, "Get To Know Ya" by implementing an unmistakably funk-laden on the original elements. Sexy horn fills and disco stabs culminate in a nearly 8 minute joy ride that we can't take off repeat!

Whichever track you're bangin' in your sets, this EP is sure to Get everyone Talkin!

Slynk and Fort Knox Five released their DC to BC collaboration in Fall 2021. “Keep the Funk Real” is a mid-tempo glitch-hop banger that features Evan’s signature killer keyboard riffs, fat bass drops, funky guitar hooks, strings, horns and bumpin’ beats. The next step was to find a remixer and their mutual admiration for Megan Hamilton’s production and funky approach to music made her the obvious choice! 

Megan Hamilton is a producer/vocalist out of Minneapolis and is known for her unique mix of hypnotic bass lines, funky riffs and house grooves. On top of releasing her own original music, she has been collaborating with artists like Defunk and touring with such notable acts as Opiuo, delivering her groovy brand of funk and creating quite a wave of hype along the way!

On her remix of Keep the Funk Real, she pushes the original’s mid-tempo wobbly direction into a funky, chunky, bubbling bouncer of a track. By speeding up the tempo, adding a banging house beat and flipping the music elements, Megan manages to keep the funky soul vibe of the track intact, while creating a super fun floor-burner that’s guaranteed to move your feet!

This remix is a sure fire “straight to the crates” tune that is destined to be funking up festivals all summer long. The release also includes an instrumental mix for the DJs.

Up next, Toolroom welcome LA based DJ and producer Noizu to the label, debuting with his remix of Mark Knight, Green Velvet and Rene Amesz – ‘Live Stream’. One of the most in-demand DJs right now, after scoring critical acclaim with his nostalgic Piano House banger ‘Summer 91 (Looking Back)’, which saw huge success for the artist back in 2020, catapulting Noizu to the very top of festival bills and tours around the world. Along with a series of releases on Black Book, Insomniac, Process Records and his own Techne imprint, Noizu has firmly planted himself as one of the most exciting acts in dance music today and his remix of ‘Live Stream’ is testament to that.

Diving deep and pulling up a Toolroom classic from the 2016 archives, Noizu delivers a powerful rendition of ‘Live Stream’, ramping up the energy of the original to a whole new level, cutting it fresh for dance floors in 2023.

Focusing on the key elements which made Mark Knight, Green Velvet and Rene Amesz original collaboration so compelling, with Noizu’s keen ear for music production and dance floor knowledge, tied together by Green Velvet’s trademark lyrical genius makes his remix of ‘Live Stream’ a serious contender for record of the year. Already a staple moment in his own sets, you can expect Noizu’s remix of ‘Live Stream’ to go off in clubs and at festivals throughout the summer clubbing season.

Mystery surrounds the identity of production combo Claptone. Perhaps it doesn't matter... Their first EP "She Loves You" was a mix of sharply floor focused tech-house, deep house and disco blends. Currently No. 4 in the German Club Charts and liked by key-players such as Tensnake, Julio Bashmore, Eats Everything, A-Trak, Matthew Dear and Tim Sweeney - we had to make a quick follow-up. Here it is: CREAM...not only for lovers of 90ies Rapmusic.
