Next up on our new Toolroom Trax vinyl series is a fresh and vibrant new piece from Italian talent Nausica, bringing another deep club cut, ‘Se Pone Loca’. With rolling percussion, a catchy lead vocal and expertly placed stabs, ‘Se Pone Loca’ aims to cause carnage on the dancefloor. Nausica has mastered his infectious minimalistic and percussive sound which has seen the likes of John Summit, Jamie Jones, MK & Solardo support his music, proving Nausica is a name many artists are now considering in their sets! D. Ramirez returns to Toolroom Trax with his highly anticipated remake of the Bodyrox anthem ‘Yeah Yeah’. Firmly rooted in the foundations of Toolroom, he has been releasing genre-defining dance music for almost two decades with hits such as ‘Downpipe’ in collaboration with label boss Mark Knight and UK pioneers Underworld, ‘Colombian Soul’ and many more. D. Ramirez is not only a genius in the studio, but also one of Toolroom Academy’s talented tutors, teaching a new generation of producers the core skills in dance music production. Revisiting the classic Bodyrox Electro House tune ‘Yeah Yeah’, a timeless masterpiece with an unforgettable synth line, D. Ramirez delivers an essential update for today's dancefloors. Label favourites, Sllash & Doppe, return to Trax with their unique style of uplifting and feel-good house music. Their music is regularly found in the sets of artists such as Fatboy Slim, Solomun, Bedouin, Blond:ish, Martin Solveig, Roger Sanchez and more, and the playful two cousins are now taking over the world, console by console, with an energetic, exuberant style that has won them over on the dancefloors.
Closing out the sampler is Saison with their signature house sound. The London based duo has been firmly on the scene for almost a decade, honing their unparalleled sound of raw and feel-good house music at its best. With numerous releases on prestigious labels including Defected, Nervous, Big Love, and of course their very own label, No Fuss. [distribution fact sheet]
