説明
Toolroomの4曲入りヴァイナル・サンプラーに、レーベルを代表するMartin Ikinが‘Make U Sweat’を引っ提げてカムバック。Beatportで2020年、2021年のTech Houseトップセラーに輝き、ストリーミングでも月間100万リスナーを誇る実力派。NoizuやJoshwaとのコラボを重ね、US、ブラジル、バリ、イビサ、イタリア、クロアチアと世界中を飛び回る彼が、クラブ仕様の強力な一撃を放つ。
続くのはイタリアン・ハウスのレジェンドFlashmobによる‘My Body’。テンションを一気に引き上げるエネルギッシュなクラブ・トラックで、重厚なドラム、狂気じみたシンセ、エフェクト、クセになるヴォーカル・サンプルが絡み合い、抜群のインパクトを放つ。Tomorrowlandのようなビッグ・フェスから、アンダーグラウンドな小箱まで、多彩なシーンを渡り歩く彼の最新モードがここに。
B面にはカナダのTech House職人Nathan BaratoがMatheo Velezと組んで‘Weapon’を収録。Michael BibiがDC-10でプレミアし、瞬く間にアンダーグラウンド・シーンを席巻。Viva、Circus、Snatch、RAWthenticといった名門レーベルを渡り歩く二人が生み出した、中毒性抜群のバウンシーなクラブ・トラックで、Nathan自身の‘Move me… Rock me’のヴォーカルもフィーチャー。
ラストはUKのDJ/プロデューサー・デュオJenn Getz & Alfieによる‘Vibration’。ドバイのSoho GardenのレジデントとしてSonny Fodera、MK、Claptone、Solardo、Fisherらと共演し、Solotoko、Abode、Toolroom Traxなどのレーベルからリリースを重ねる彼女たちが、ウェルネスや瞑想といったライフスタイルへの情熱をサウンドに落とし込んだ。オリジナル・リリックを加えたインスピレーション溢れるクラブ・トラックで、フロアを熱狂の渦へ。

Kicking things off on our next 4-track vinyl sampler series is Toolroom's very own Martin Ikin who returns to the label with ‘Make U Sweat’! He was the Best-selling Tech House artist on Beatport in 2020 and 2021 and has over 1m monthly listeners across streaming platforms. Recent studio collabs have included Noizu and Joshwa and tours have seen him travel far and wide to the US, Brazil, Bali, Ibiza, Italy, Croatia and of course, his hometown of London. This new record is the follow up to 'Oscill8' that dropped in March 2023 and sits in a similar lane, in that it's pure, unadulterated club weaponry! Next up is Italian house legend Flashmob with the frenetic, high-energy club vibe of new cut ‘My Body’. Flashmob's sound, production and go-for-broke DJ sets have changed with the game, embracing the vitality of new house music rather than hankering after sentimental sunsets. His ethic and aesthetic move relentlessly forward, using the old and new to craft unique sonic alchemy from big festivals like Tomorrowland to the intimacy of small clubs on the international circuit. ‘My Body’ is typical of Flashmob's current sound, combining solid drums and some insane synths and fx, alongside an earworm vocal sample that results in yet another memorable club cut from an established master. Canadian Tech House maestro Nathan Barato debuts on Toolroom kicking off the B-side to the vinyl alongside studio partner, Matheo Velez with 'Weapon'. A record that has already caught the attention of the underground elite with Michael Bibi premiering the track at his first appearance back at DC-10 in Ibiza last Summer. Both artists are enjoying great success across key labels such as Viva, Circus, Snatch and RAWthentic. This is an addictive, bumpy club track
that packs a huge punch on the dance floor and actually features Nathan's very own 'Move me… Rock me' vocals! Rounding things off is UK DJ/producer duo, Jenn Getz & Alfie who are residents at Dubai's #1 nightlife destination, Soho Garden, where they warm up for legends such as Sonny Fodera, MK, Claptone, Solardo & Fisher on a weekly basis. In their relatively short 3 year career they have already released on Solotoko, Abode and Toolroom Trax and now debut on Toolroom with 'Vibration'. Both girls are incredibly passionate about house music and are also big advocates for a life centered around well-being and meditation, and the idea of this record was to combine their 2 passions in life, so they proceeded to co-write these original lyrics to accompany the track, which in itself is very inspiring! This is a super cool club record that will excite fans and DJ's alike, welcome to the Toolroom Family, Jenn Getz & Alfie!
