KAPOTE

Big remix package for Toy Tonic's boss Kapote. His song "Mystery" from the last album reworked by Harvey Sutherland, Opolopo, Close Counters with a bonus remix by french house master Cassius. Turning Kpaote's new school house anthem into a variety of flavours touching on jazz-funk, disco, and  proto-house moods along the way. 

Opolopo brings his legendary touch to "Mystery." With a career spanning decades and a reputation for fusing boogie, funk, and broken beat; his remix promises a soulful journey. An artist who's famously remixed everyone from Gregory Porter to Stevie Wonder, Opolopo's version is pure, unadulterated groove.

Straight from the heart of Melbourne's electronic underground, Sutherland delivers his signature 'neurotic funk' style. The celebrated synthesist and producer, known for his distinctive analog textures and a discography that's earned him ARIA Award nominations, injects his unique genre-bending energy into the track.

The duo from Melbourne, Close Counters, turn "Mystery" into an electrifying fusion of house, soul, and jazz. Known for their dense synths and infectious energy, they have earned praise from tastemakers like Gilles Peterson and have wowed crowds at festivals like Splendour in the Grass.

Finally, the package features "Berlin Boogie Town" with a new interpretation from Parisian legend Cassius, adding some uplifting French Touch filter vibes.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Toytonics set their crosshairs on the European disco community with an almost endless touring and event schedule, spreading their funky gospel far and wide and proving that it's not all about techno in Berlin!

More exquisite house music from Toytonics label boss, Kapote. Imbuing the fun and party ethos of the label, the producer drops four tracks that traverse sample-based disco-house, old skool 90s flavours, tuff Nu Groove styled thumpers and on final track, "The Slide" more contemporary flavours a la GAMM and Local Talk.

It's a brilliantly dazzling and high gloss affair, with the veteran producer demonstrating no lack of skills behind the dials. But rather than get bogged down on EQ fidelity, the quest for the perfect kick drum, or synthesizing the latest cranium splitting sounds; he simply takes cues from the decades of party music that proceed it - disco and early house music, particularly from the US, and coalesces it into his own funky and friendly style. Don't let this irreverence fool you though - this is top drawer tackle for the club, disco, car, or after party; and well deserved of a place in your house section! Recommended. 


STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: We get excited every time a new Toytonics drops. The label's quality control department do a sterling job of making sure there's absolutely no tripe across its catalogue. Kapote's on the dials for this latest joint and it's another sure fire winner for the house fraternity.
