The first drop on the new Disco Mind Records is a top collection of well-designed and perfectly executed re-edits by two Italian disco stallions, Paul Older and Bplan. Each of these men is respected for previous works on the likes of Toy Tonics and Tropical disco and here they delve into their collections and come out with four fiery and authentic new cuts. 'Ma Quale Amore' is a peak time bomb, there is groove and funk to spare on 'Travolgente' and much more to win over all sorts of disco lovers. A great start to what is sure to be a fine label.

PREMIERE: Paul Older - Ma Quale Amore [Disco Mind Records]

Download/Vinyl/Stream: https://toy-tonics.lnk.to/AmoreLatino

Toy Tonics comes up with a new house record by an artist by FIMIANI aka BPlan. DJ and producer from Napoli / Italia that has already been doing edits of extremely rare Italian disco tracks since three years on his own imprint Caffè Corretto. 
FIMIANI’s “Amore Latino“ EP is his debut as a producer, is all played live, no samples and consist of 4 house tracks that remind the early 1990ies New York house sound of Masters at Work, François Kevorkian or legendary Body & Soul club. Based on rolling funk grooves using a lot of jazzy piano chords, organs, real bass players and horns. This stuff is super musically and listenable also at home.
FIMIANI who comes from the region of Napoli, (or better the beautiful island of Ischia) is not only an edit maestro and skilled producer, but organized a summer house festival. He knows the history and is deeply inspired by the Italian house scene from the mid 1980ies/ 1990ies. 
People who know the history of dance music will be aware that the house is an Italo-Amercacn „invention“. Italians not only created the music called Italo disco, that was the big inspiration for many (American) dance music producers of the 1980ies and 90ies. The Italians also created the blueprint for what later became House music.
The original house music producers in Chicago always told the story of how they were impressed by the Italian sounds from 1981 - 1986. HOT MIX 5, the DJs that basically started the house genre and the term “house music” were playing the early Italian electronic dance records and got inspired by them for doing their own music later. Kano’s “It’s a War” or “Dirty Talk” and “MBO Theme” from Klein & MBO, “I Need Love” from Capricorn, “Love-N-Music” from Ris, “Dance Forever” from Gaucho and many other Italian records from the early 1980ies made their way to Chicago (and New York) and were one of the reasons the Chicago DJ to start to produce their own first electronic dance music, as they told this themselves in many interviews. The American DJs bought the same early electronic machines and were inspired by these Italian records. These mid 1980ies early Chicago productions then were played at the Warehouse club and ended up being called House Music.
That sound later influenced many New York producers of the 1990ies and also many Italian producers who, in the 1990ies created their own versions of the Chicago genre and called it “Italo-House”. This strong connection between Italo house and American house can be also seen in the fact that many American house DJs found a second home in Italy where house music became sort of mainstream in the late 1980 and 1990ies. 
Thanks to national-wide radios like Radio DEEJAY who were turning club hits into mainstream anthems, and thanks to party promoters like Angels of Love in Napoli or the Italian pioneers of the House parties in Rimini & Riccione Like Vae Victis, Echoes and the party Magic Monday, where American house producers found a second home. DJs like David Morales were living in Italy and artists like Tony Humphries or Masters at Work played at national radio and had hit singles in Italy - while still being underground in other European countries.
House is an Italo-American affair, and Fimiani is a late example of this perfect union.

Fimiani - Amore Latino

Nick Curly & Gorge’s 8Bit imprint welcomes Dimitri Andreas and Igor Vicente onto its roster for the collaborative ‘La Bamboula’ EP this August. 

Over the past two decades, the Nick Curly & Gorge helmed 8Bit label out of Mannheim, Germany has become a stable for groove driven, stripped back house sounds and has released material from the likes of Sascha Dive, Gorge, Audiojack, Josh Butler and of course Curly himself. Here though, the imprint welcomes Belgian Systematic Recordings artist Dimitri Andreas and Igor Vicente, known for his works on the likes of Visionquest, Hot Creations and Mobilee, onto the its roster. 

The original mix of title-track ‘La Bamboula’ leads the release with organic percussion, a twitchy bass groove, subtly unfurling atmospherics and an amalgamation of hypnotic chants and synth flutters all intertwined with a dreamy French spoken word vocal told by Igor himself about a dream he had ''I dreamed I was partying and when I woke up I got a real hangover, I slept 8 hours but I feel like I'm in an afterparty. “La bamboula” it’s what we call it when we party hard in Belgium.''. The ‘Novox’ mix follows next, as the name would suggest, stripping things back to focus solely on the psychedelic melodic elements and bouncy rhythm. 

‘Love Affair’ then rounds out the EP, taking a deep dive into glistening, delayed metallic chimes, fluttering synth melodies , cinematic strings and pulsating bass line, all underpinned with low-slung drums and a spoken word vocal of a girl talking about love with her mum. This release showcases the duo's musical synergy and further solidifies 8bit Records' reputation as a purveyor of cutting-edge tracks

House Music will always remain a force to be reckoned with, and with groups like the House Gospel Choir setting new standards, that statement will continue to reverberate through the essences that make up life for a long time to come. Their new release on LDN label “To The Rock” is testament to the group's endearing and beautiful approach to making House a Home - and with it, a keeping alive of spirits both old and new….

The mysterious COEO boys. Second outing for Toy Tonics after an intermezzo for Sccucci Manucci. 
The dudes have quite a buzz. Making a sound that because of its warmness and soulful vibe people have been putting them into the "Max Graef/Glenn Astro" - corner. But COEO have much more to say. It sounds fresh, smart and is a type of house we'd all would like to hear more in the future.

Take You Higher

PREMIERE: The Trip - Take You Higher [Tessellate]

Download/Vinyl/Stream: https://toy-tonics.lnk.to/RobotSalsaEP

Toy Tonics head honcho Kapote teamed up with the label’s Italian disco king Sam Ruffillo to make a Latin House EP for the summer. Three tracks that fit great with the new wave of latino beats invading the house dance floors this summer. The short versions of these songs might work well on radios, but the long versions are pure DJ and dancer’s fun. The two guys are probably Toy Tonics main DJ duo now. They have been DJing every weekend of the last year in some of the best clubs in Europe. They are residents at Panorama Bar Berlin now and have been invited to share the same stage as Kaytranda and Jessie Ware at Sonar Festival 2024. And they have the right music for this summer. Latin House!

After years of dominance of Afro House, the grooves of South America seem to become the new thing in many DJs sets. The influences from Salsa, Boogaloo and other tropical elements, the hard Latin piano riffs connected with cowbells and a lot of conga grooves were already there last summer. But now it's the time they take over many dance floors. 

On this EP Sam Ruffillo and Kapote played all instruments themself. No samples. Instead pianos, basses, percussion, and guitars were played by the guys. Vocals also performed by the boys. This stuff is made to sing along. The rhythms and the chords catch you immediately. The melodies make you join the „band“. 

People who know Toy Tonics and the guys well, know that the both come from „real“ music-making. The guys have been playing in bands, doing jazz and funk music, before becoming dance producers and DJs. And now they combine all these skills and turn it into musically super catchy dance tracks. 

Latin house is a thing now. And Sam & Kapote have the grooves for it.

Toy Tonics presents the second EP by Lars Dales from DAM SWINDLE with multi-instrumentalist LORENZ RHODE aka SOUND SUPPORT.
Their first EP "Higher" on Toy Tonics last year reached No. 1 of BEATPORT House music charts and this follow up probably will be similarly successful as it has the same high quality of music and dancefloor catchiness every DJ dreams of.

The new "Everybody Knows" EP consists of four extremely groove infected house music tracks that connect the good things of 1990ies house with the indie disco of the 2000s. Think of Daft Punk in the studio with Kerri Chandler and LCD Soundsystem and you got the sound!

Dutch house wizzard Lars Dales (who also runs HEIST records) and keyboarder and super producer Lorenz Rhode (recently worked also with Purple Disco Machine) connected through their mutual love for dance music. After years of having worked together on several projects, such as the Dam Swindle liveshow, they finally got around to making more and more music together to release their amazing tracks under the name of SOUND SUPPORT: A perfect name because these tracks really support every DJs set ... they fill dancefloors in seconds and make people go mad.

The Toy Tonics crew is known for being addicted to two things: vintage music machines and old vinyl. 100% music aficionados. On the „Tonic Edits“ series the crew shares some of their favorite old tracks - in a reworked version.
