Next up on Toolroom's 4-track vinyl sampler series is a tasty collab from label founder Mark Knight, who teams up with rising talent Crusy for an undeniable team-up, 'Daddy Shhh'. A fiery, club-focussed cut that centres around the Toolroom founder's speciality, Tribal Tech House, 'Daddy Shhh' is a record specifically designed for the dance floor. Mixing energetic grooves, Latin percussion, and a techy bassline that will keep you moving into the early hours.

Following this, we welcome UK selector & producer Huxley, as he drops his brand-new single, 'All I Need'. An artist who isn't bound by conventional genres, Huxley's sound transforms and blends with whatever fits the record, and this is certainly true when you listen to 'All I Need'. Turning up with a lush Deep House synth atmosphere and a catchy vocal that blends into the mix before dropping into Classic UK House style bass stabs only means one thing: an absolute banger.

Next up is another powerhouse cut from Liverpool based DJ and producer ESSEL, who returns to the label with 'Lennon'. An artist who is well-versed in the art of crafting a hit record, ESSEL has been a permanent fixture in the Toolroom family over the past few years. A darker take on her usual sound, 'Lennon' is a record that skirts the boundaries of her sound, bleeding into the club world and, dare we say it, is pure class. If ever there was a glass ceiling, ESSEL would smash right through it – she is certainly a hot new prospect and undoubtedly one to watch.

Last but by no means least, we see the return of mighty DJ & producer duo Leftwing: Kody, who teams up with rising producer James Hurr on their debut album 'Music Is the Medication'. Also featured is reggae vocalist I Jah, who brings a touch of warming ragga style to the record. 'Music Is The Medication' is a sublime record, blending a tough, Tech House focused atmosphere with UKG style breaks and a straight-up layered Ragga vocal for maximum output, which only means one thing: a certified banger.
