"Para Mytho Disco" is a futuristic mix of sounds. It's far away from the dark monotone techno and trance music from Kapote's hometown Berlin. Instead, he creates warm, friendly atmospheres full of sonic colors and little musical surprises.
Kapote's knowledge of music history and his background as a jazz piano student and son of classic music composer are clearly inside this music. Before turning into a DJ and electronic music producer, he has been playing in bands since he was 13 years old.  The album is full of emotional chord progressions played by Kapote on various keyboards. Sometimes reminding music from the past without being retro at all. The bass lines and melodies are inspired by jazz fusion from the 1970ies. And he programmed syncopated grooves that come from Afro-American dance music. There are influences from Japanese electronic music (Yellow Magic Orchestra), from 1980ies Synthwave and from 1990ies electronica (like Squarepusher and Luke Vibert).

Toy Tonics releases a new track by label head honcho Kapote. „Spaceship” is the first pre-single of the 2nd (upcoming) Kapote album. 

Kapote aka Mathias Modica didn't release much music in the last few years, as he was mainly building up the Toy Tonics label with his friends and helping the younger Toy Tonics producers to develop their sound and releases. His last music was a collabo EP with Sam Ruffillo ("Robot Salsa" EP) and his own EP called “Electric Slide”. Before that, he did an album “What it is”, released in 2019 on Toy Tonics (that was supported by all kinds of DJs from DJ Harvey, A-Track, and Chromeo to Breakbot).

Here comes a mellow and beautifully futuristic tune that connects jazzfunk and house music. It's a first teaser to what the complete Kapote album might sound like. The song, like the album is inspired by Japanese electronic music from the 1980ies, American fusion-jazz and Italo disco.

Released 23.09.24

Toy Tonics delivers the 2nd pre-single of label boss KAPOTE’s upcoming 2nd album. An instrumental tune that combines melodic inspirations from German electronic music, Italo disco with the dreamy world of Japanese 1980s electronica and the vibes of 1970 fusion jazz. Yes, some might hear influences from Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yellow Magic Orchestra, Italian electronic disco or even Chick Corea’s electric jazz or Kraut Rock melancholy in the new Kapote tracks. And Prana & Passione is a good hint on how the whole album will sound.

Kapote started Toy Tonics Records almost 10 years ago with some friends, after he had been known under the name MUNK and his former label GOMMA records for years. He used to produce music for and with artists like LCD Soundsystem, Peaches, Franz Ferdinand, the first album of WhoMadeWho or the New York street art legend The Rammellzee. He changed the name when he started Toy Tonics as a new label that is dedicated to a dance floor sound that combines musicality, sonic diversity and positivity with DJ culture. While techno and trance became darker and harder over the last few years, Kapote and his artists wanted to offer new forms of house music that combine different styles from Afrofunk and American underground dance music to neo soul, Italian disco or French indie dance. A new dance sound based on good songs and fresh ideas to create real emotions on dance floors.

In the last few years, Kapote was mainly helping the young new DJs and producers that he found for the Toy Tonics label to develop their sounds (Coeo, Cody Currie, Gee Lane, Bárbara Boeing, Sam Ruffillo). But now, as the label and its artists started to „fly“, Kapote aka Mathias Modica finally went back to the studio and developed his own musical ideas. Sounds that are based on dance music and the 4 to the floor beat and go much further than the efficacy of a DJ tool. It's all about creating music that you can listen at home and creates positive emotions. Music that you want to hear on repeat.   

After his debut album as Kapote in 2019 and a solo EP called „Electric Slide“ and a collabo EP with Italian producer Sam Ruffillo („Robot Salsa“) this tune is part of the next Kapote album. It’s worth reminding Kapote’s former works as Munk: Four albums released on Gomma Records between 2005 and 2015 that are a wild mix of styles and that became legendary back in those indie dance days. Music supported by all kinds of DJs from Soulwax, Erol Alkan, James Murphy and Andrew Weatherall to Blessed Madonna, Seth Troxler, Folamour or Justice and Laurent Garnier.

Similar to Gomma Records, Kapote’s former label (which was active from 2003 - 2015 and used to become one of the key labels of the „indie dance“ scene of those years) in recent times Toy Tonics has become one of the key labels of the new house and growing indie dance scene. Only in 2024 the label made more than 100 Toy Tonics Jams, the label parties in 15 countries. Being invited to festivals like SONAR, KALA festival, Montreux Jazz festival, Melt and many more to bring their sound. And doing sold-out label shows in Europe’s leading clubs, from Phonox in London to REX in Paris. Including a new residency in Panorama Bar Berlin (the label's homebase).

Toy Tonics delivers the 3rd pre-single of label boss KAPOTE’s upcoming 2nd album. BERLIN BOOGIE TOWN.

A future disco indie dance tune dedicated to his hometown Berlin in an ironic way. The city known for being the capital of techno and dark electronic music is changing a lot for 2 years. In fact, it’s not anymore a techno town but a city with a very diverse musical landscape with musicians and DJs from all over the world that create new forms of jazz, experimental, African, Latin and experimental music.

And of course,Toy Tonics has become a big part of that ‘new Berlin’ with its wild mix of new house music, Y2K sounds, Italian disco influences, new wave and indie dance vibes. The song ‘Berlin Boogie Town’ is dedicated to this new reality. And to the new party scene. While old Berlin clubs like Watergate or Wilde Renate close, Toy Tonics is a resident at Panorama now and makes party’s every 3 weeks in the most relevant clubs like OXI, RSO and others with up to 2000 kids dancing.

The song combines indie dance and Italo disco with 1980s Japanese electronica and some synth wave.

Toy Tonics presents Kapote’s new song „Mystery“ feat. GUINNY of his upcoming album „Para Mytho Disco“. 
All 12 tracks have their very own style. Based on dance music, but going much further.
"Para Mytho Disco" is a futuristic mix of sounds. It's far away from the dark, monotone techno and trance music from Kapote's hometown Berlin. Instead, he creates warm, friendly atmospheres full of sonic colors and little musical surprises.
Kapote's knowledge of music history and his background as a jazz piano student and son of a classic music composer is clearly inside this music. Before turning into a DJ and electronic music producer, he has been playing in bands since he was 13 years old.  The album is full of emotional chord progressions played by Kapote on various keyboards. Sometimes reminding music from the past without being retro at all. The basslines and melodies are inspired by jazz fusion from the 1970ies. 
And he programmed syncopated grooves that come from afro-american dance music. There are influences from Japanese electronic music (Yellow Magic Orchestra), from 1980s Synthwave and from 1990s electronica (like Squarepusher and Luke Vibert).
Kapote plays keys, bass, flutes and percussion, he plays synth solos and sings on a few tracks. The complexity of the arrangements makes this music never boring. Lot of melodies and solos that catch the listener. Colorful soundscapes that make you want to listen or dance to this album more and discover details also after you heard it several times.

Following releases for the likes of Toy Tonics, Aus Music, Rhythm Section and Kitsuné Musique, Berlin/London based producer Arpy Brown drops the first EP under his own name. Having previously released under the name Athlete Whippet, Arpy is not new to the scene. His music has been supported by the likes of BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Mixmag, DJ Mag and Resident Advisor.

2024 has seen Arpy Brown take his joyful, high energy sets that combine club music’s intensity with the charm and intricacy of non-electronic, organic music, to stages across mainland Europe, the UK and as far as Australia and New Zealand. 2025 is a year of next steps for Arpy, with him launching his new live set alongside his new EP 'Fantasy' on Toy Tonics. On this EP, Arpy has truly found his voice. After having dabbled with adding his own vocals into his productions on recent records, this 4-tracker features present lead vocals by Arpy on all tracks; an element that is also key to the new live show. Kicking the year off with some debut shows in Southeast Asia, Arpy is set to return to Panorama Bar, alongside other legendary venues such as London's Village Underground and Oslo's Jaeger.

Taking a communal approach to music making, Robin co-founded Athlete Whippet together with long-term friend and collaborator Aviram Barath, who he co-ran artist collective and record label Squareglass with at the time. In line with this ethos, he's also been hosting intimate nights with DJs from far across the electronic music ecosystem since 2019. Guest sets from the likes of Seb Wildblood, Jitwam, Rebecca Vasmant, Fouk, Amy Dabbs, Hidden Spheres, Will Saul and some of the scene's brightest new talents have made for some unmissable parties in London's and Berlin's cosiest venues.

Arpy Brown's releases have also come with reworks from Ross from Friends, Baltra and Max Graef.

Introducing Toy Tonics’ Newest Artist: Martha Pinel!
Brazilian DJ, vinyl digger, party starter, and style icon Martha Pinel has officially joined the Toy Tonics family. Splitting her time between Rio de Janeiro and Berlin, she’s the founder of Assembleia, a laid-back Rio party that’s become a Carnival sensation, and co-founder of Croma, a music-meets-fashion project that shaped Rio’s alt-scene. Featured on the cover of GQ Brazil, she was named one of “13 artists changing the world.”
Her non-linear DJ sets fuse Afro-Brazilian rhythms, Middle Eastern grooves, Italo, disco, house, and Balearic sounds - always bold, emotional, and unpredictable. She’s played Boiler Room, Paris Fashion Week, KALA Festival, DGTL, and more, alongside names like Hunee, Antal, and Prins Thomas.
Martha’s debut EP Real Rio captures a rediscovery of her hometown—a city where beauty and chaos collide in dramatic highs and lows. Z The track Assim reimagines Marcos Valle’s classic Estrelar with collaborator Gabto, reflecting on Rio’s unique “Body Culture” - that unmistakable energy you feel walking along Ipanema Beach.
