Heavy on the Bacon

The Roundup part 1 is the first part of an annual recurring event: the big Heist family remix EP, where all artist names get put in a big bowl, and by luck of the draw, find themselves remixing (and remixed by) another Heist artist.

Max Graef & Andy Hart - Jungle (Nachtbraker Remix) - Preview

112 kbps files for preview - don't be a dunce!

Now four releases in, Razor-N-Tape Reserve continues to deliver the deepness with this EP from the Netherlands’ Junktion. Although a relative upstart on the scene, Junktion has been getting some serious heads nodding lately with releases on Sleazy Beats and Outplay, and the Hot & Bothered EP continues to define his dusty and organic sound. From the summery ease of the title track, to the fresh take on the oft-sampled 'I'm Wishin' to the discofied chugger 'Fling Cleaning' followed by the slow-burning 'Visions of You,' this EP is a beautiful listen from beginning to end. And the kids are gonna dig it too.

Junktion - I'm Wishin'

The new EP on TOY TONICS comes from David Pezzner. Four dirty instrumental techno-funk tools. 
Before joining the German Toy Tonics crew Pezzner already had some impressive releases on Visionquest, Crosstown Rebels, Freerange and Systematic records. Pezzner lives in Seattle, the former capital of Hardcore/ Grunge - now developing into a city with a big scene of quality techno artists.  
What else we need to know? Pezzner wrote a letter to Toy Tonics, telling them that he loves the label more than any other imprint of the moment. Then he introduced himself like this:

"I am David Brian Pezzner. Born in California some 30 years ago and living in Seattle now. I am 5 foot 7 inches in height and weight about 165 lbs. My brother, Bill works at the Port Of Seattle and has four children, two of whom are actually step-children. Billi`s wife owns a local publication and is a skilled bicyclist (even though she has not gone professional.) When I work in my studio my wife brings me a drink and we discuss her day.  Besides writing music for night clubs and headphones, I compose music for vision and function, and teach electronic music writing concepts to private students." 
We should like David Pezzner.

Pezzner - Autosave My Love

ZHUT & KAPOTE are part of that new wave of Berlin producer kids that are doing dirty, funk-based house music. Max Graef, Session Victim, Hodini... There is a growing scene of producers that do dance music that is far away from that 90ies techno revival sound that has become kind of a Berlin tourist cliche. These new kids love old jazz vinyl, MPC-productions and old synths. They want a warm, nasty sound that has it's roots in soul music - not in Ableton Live standard Deep House sound setups.

Kapote already released an EP and some edits on Toy Tonics, while Zhut is part of tech-funk group Black Loops. The boys combine old, rare samples from the 1970ies with their own way of playing live drum machines and their fucked up synthesizers. It's jazzy, funky house music. Reminding certain records from the french wave like La Funk Mob or Versatile and the music of American maestros like Paul Johnson or Detroit's Red Planet.

Zhut & Kapote - So Damn Hot (Kian T Remix)

"New York City disco party freaks @kaviardiscoclub Club are planning to inject their flavor into the vinyl game. The label (which shares the same branding as the event collective) is kicking things off with a four track V/A showcasing cuts from Philly and NYC based producers, including @JacquesRenault of Let's Play House (@lphnyc) fame, as well as Matpat, Evan Michael (@evvnmichael) and co-founder Higgins (@higginsaudio). The imprint - both for this release and going forward - aims to curate slick, New York style disco vibes from regional producers."

Following a few months in hiding, Detroit Swindle's Heist Recordings is back for its first release of 2017. Parker Madicine's Voices & Drums EP is an excursion in "high tech funk" and we're stoked to share with you Byron The Aquarius's remix. A lesson in groove, Byron The Aquarius demonstrates his production talent with an energetic bass line and virtuoso keys work - there's a reason he's signed to Sound Signature.

PREMIERE: & My Mother Say - Summer Sky [Neo Apparatus Records]

When Fouk & Glenn Astro remix a new artist you know what the vibe is: Dirty DIY house with a heavy funk vibe. 
Mangabey is the new kid on the Toy Tonics family and he is a master of this style. He lives in Lyon/ France (and is a good friend of Folamour who remixed his first EP on Toy Tonics some months ago). 
But Mangabey takes the whole new Funk-House sound to another level. While many of his colleagues work with samples, Mangabey studied Jazz piano and collects vintage synths. And so he plays most of the stuff himself and bring in a lot of personality.
His works could remind the vibe of New York Soul House from the 1990ies or the sounds from the West London scene from 20 years ago, but definitely he adds a modern, edgy touch to it.

Mangabey aka Jose Fehner is an interesting personality: Born in the south of France in a family of traveling artists. As a kid he has been living on a boat and in caravans, traveling France and Africa with a wild theater collective directed by his parents who are actors. Later he went to music university and now finally, by age of 22, he lives in Lyon. Lyon is becoming France’ second music town.  The town that has the most vibrant club and producer scene right now. So, yes:  There is a lot to come from there… a lot from Mangabey.
