A new Toy Tonics EP! By label boss Kapote!4 tracks for the dancefloor inspired by Italo Disco, New Wave Funk and NYC 90ies House. A perfect sound for the new Y2K vibes on 2024 dancefloors.A new Kapote release is a rare thing. Although he is a musician and producer in the first place he rarely releases music. Why? Because the last years he was busy djing every weekend around the world (as a regular at clubs like Berlin’s Panorama Bar and London’s Phonox but also Festivals like Melt or Kala) and creating the Toy Tonics madness with his label friends. The Berlin based label that is the home base for 15 international artists (Cody Currie, Coeo, Gee Lane, Athlete Whippet, Baby‘s Berserk, Stump Valley…) became THE brand for a colorful and diverse, innovative and ‘organic’ funk oriented post - digital dance music.Kapote and his friends release music that connects analogue and band vibes with digital production in a very fresh and unique way. Influenced by European underground disco and American house as well as afro beats, new wave and soulful Electronica.But he and his label also have achieved a great reputation for working with some of the hottest names in Berlin graphic design and art to release the limited edition Toy Tonics Shirts, the label own TT Pocket Poster Magazine, posters and organizing exhibitions and visual shows.Kapote aka Mathias Modica was and his 3 members TT krew were busy building all this.Including also the Toy Tonics Jams. The label parties that started in an illegal venue in Berlin 2020 and exploded in 2023. With more than 120 TT events all over Europe. Where the label represents his very own vison of sound, vibe and style. Kapote organized all this with his krew. And it looks like 2024 will be even busier. With Toy Tonics Events at clubs but also museums (Palais de Tokio/ Paris, Milano Design Festjval) or Kapote & Toy Tonics Crew playing with Kaytranada and Peggy Gou at Sonar Festival.In case you missed the last production works of Kapote check out his album ‘What it is’.

Bosconi is arguably one of the most prolific labels in the Italian electronic music scene, always looking for freshness and innovation as well as undiscovered and rare gems thanks to the work of DJ and music researcher Fabio Della Torre. This time, Bosconi brings you to the special world of Sound Virus: the UK producer duo responsible for super rare EPs such as “Swirl” and “Inverted Frequencies”. These highly sought after records were released on their own imprint Lux recordings back in '95, and are about to get arepress on Mint Condition.

Since its the very beginning, Chat Noir Tools has been a home for new and upcoming producers with the goal of discovering the future talents of our scene. We’re glad to present a new debut release by French artist Mitsunobu, founder of the Youtube channel Metroid Vibes. With his Neurodancer EP, he shows his love for 90’s influenced house music. Watch out!

Compilation of proper house on Jovonn label.

"Suggestive dropped just one EP and it back in 1995 on their own label, Piranha Records. It now gets a full and welcome reissue as the 11th release from Rezpektiva, in limited numbers of course. These house sounds are as playful as they come - 'Wildlife' (club Tabasco mix) is hurried and electronic with a characterful bassline, 'Behind You' (Piranha edit) is a jumble of percussion and nice wet bass that has the sort of flex that made early Nail records so good. The original version of both are on the flip and do just as much damage." (Juno review)
