Toy Tonics presents GOMMA DANCEFLOOR GEMS VOL.1
It’s all about Y2K, Punkfunk and Indie Disco!
Toy Tonics record brings a collection of tracks originally released on the German GOMMA RECORDS label between 2001 and 2010. Gomma was one of the key labels of the Y2K indie dance wave along with labels like James Murphy’s DFA and Trevor Jackson’s OUTPUT Records. And as the 90ies revival that dominated the last years in fashion and electronic music reached its peak (Techno and Electronica is pure 90s revival music) the Toy Tonics gang thought it’s a good moment to re-mind some of these early 2000’s tracks that connected a more raw, indie disco and punky funk vibe. It was another energy in those party days. Gomma was happening in Berlin off-location clubs like SCALA and RIO, London’s TRASH or 333 parties and Paris KILL THE DJ and PARIS PARIS clubs. 

Those Y2K clubs and the Gomma label brought together 80ies inspired Indie rock artists like NickMcCarthy of Franz Ferdinand (who was producing records on Gomma before getting world-famous) and Electro punk princess Peaches (who did a whole Disco album on Gomma records and is featured on this compilation with a cover of „Maniac“ from the Flashdance movie soundtrack). Italian disco legends like Baldelli or Robotnick were popping up in those times after years of silence (before getting hype again later) as well as Gomma’s own discoveries like WhoMadeWho (their first 2 albums were quite punk funky and produced by Gomma’s head honcho Mathias Modica), Italian disco punkster Rodion, Parisian nasty funk dude Golden Bug, London’s mysterious prince of new wave prince Midnight Mike (who started at Gomma and later ended up on Ed Banger records) and Gomma’s main act Munk. And yes, there is even DJ Severino, who did a proto house remix for the label in the early Horse Meat Disco days.
That raw and nasty Gomma sound that mixed up many genres and made it's own sexy, in your face music mélange that was very in demand in those days from 2000 to 2010 and inspired many artists. Not just music people like James Murphy, who did music with Gomma before, starting his own LCD Soundsystem, or bands like Chromeo, New Young Pony Club or Soulwax, who started later with a similar vibe, but also art, graphic and fashion people took inspiration from the Gomma world: Gomma’s edgy album cover designs, their poster fanzine, their colorful t-shirt designs and the whole style that the bands, DJs and people at their worldwide parties were rocking became a MUST all over the world. In the early 2000’s it was just art students from London’s Central St. Martins or Berlin’s UDK school that played that sound on their parties, later magazine like VICE or i - D invited Munk and the Gomma acts to their parties and later it was fashion brands like Prada, Margiela, Karl Lagerfeld and Hedi Slimane who used Gomma artists to make music at their fashion shows or events.
Gomma then in 2015 finally closed. When a lot of new labels popped up copying the Gomma attitude and styles (till these days).
Gomma’s head honcho and main inventor Mathias Modica stopped the whole thing, changed the name and started something new:  Toy Tonics records. Yes!
Toy Tonics came out of Gomma and that’s why now it’s time to remember the old inspirational days.
(Gomma’s other very important part was the graphic designer Mirko Borsche who created the whole Gomma look with Modica and Jonas Imbery the other Gomma member. Mirko Borsche since then made an exceptional career doing designs for fashion labels like Supreme and Balenciaga and being the creative director of magazines like ZEIT, Spike or Kaleidoskope.)
Mathias Modica aka Munk aka Kapote himself now is busy with Toy Tonics, which basically is bigger than Gomma ever was: Spreading a very own sound of organic house and disco funk. With party happenings all over Europe every weekend and a very young audience.

Casino Times continue on their crusade into the speakers of Earth's hottest dancing spots with the fourth edition of the Casino Edits series.

For the A-Side, the duo encapsulate the energy that has made the previous records in the series so memorable; this time by taking the cosmic sounds of a Space Disco favourite and reconstructing it into a punchy, euphoric, electronic symphony.

The B-Side sees the BPM's drop and the concepts become more left-of-centre. The B1, a cut-up UK Grunge head nodder, features gritty guitars, a sludgy bassline and a pulsating synth lead. Whilst on the B2, a well-loved Italo essential is reincarnated as a dramatic piece of sequenced bliss.

Sandboards drop their 'Nights Over Taieri' EP this week on Rinse. We've got the premiere of the title track below.

The Kiwi duo have been building huge momentum with releases on Feel My Bicep and Cold Tonic as well as working with Krystal Klear.

On their latest track, 'Nights Over Taieri', Sandboards deliver a massive piano driven cut of euphoric Italo house.

Speaking about it, the duo told DJ Mag, “Over the past couple of years we’ve kept a few tracks back to play exclusively at our shows, and they’ve always had an amazing reaction, so it’s really great to be able to release these with Rinse all together.”

Listen to the DJ Mag premiere of Sandboards’ 'Nights Over Taieri' above.

Premiere: Sandboards 'Nights Over Taieri'

Now for those heads who might think 'what's this version of The Whos leftfield disco classic?' take a deep breath.  Ashley dubs out and extends a private pressing cut from a unknown London band, which was recorded back in the early eighties. A fine compliment to the A-side. Keep on tripping!

If we're talking about production duos with a stellar reputation, two of the first words from our mouths would be 'Session Victim'. Since 2012, Germans Hauke Freer and Matthias Reiling have been at the wheel, steering tunes to magical places. Like Lebron James' time at the Miami Heat, they're a team that won't let you down. 2018 was no different, consisting of international gigs, flipping tracks for the likes of KiNK, Folamour and Nebraska...as well as launching their very own vinyl-only label 'Pen & Paper', in their tenth year as a joint operation. 

The 'Dawn' EP is the first we've heard from S.V in 2019 and like we mentioned above, there was never any doubt it'd be dope! Out through Delusions of Grandeur, this one's on a late-night tilt, with all tracks spawning from their Hamburg studio. We've been gifted the suitably titled 'Hear The Sun' with vocoder expertise from Iron Curtis (give his recent 'Upstream Colour' LP a listen). What's grand about this track is it sounds so Session Victim. At 7:30, 'Hear The Sun' teases over the trip, flirting our ears with a bunch of beautiful instruments. It could be Mexico, Australia or on the shores of Croatia, anywhere in the world that accommodates a beach party can certainly host this number. 

You can get your hot little hands on the EP come February 8th!
