(Remixes)

Up next on Toolroom, Martin Ikin and Hayley May’s huge 2019 hit ‘How I Feel’ gets a re-release with 3 brand new versions to get your teeth into this Summer. With the original already sitting pretty on 5m+ streams on Spotify alone, the super talented Hayley May got back in the vocal booth and laid down 2 brand new verses and the ‘Vocal Mix’ was born which has radio and sun-drenched summer terraces written all over it.

As if that wasn’t enough, there is also a special dub rework from none other than MK (aka Marc Kinchen) who makes his way onto the label for the first time. A revered DJ, remixer, and producer in his own right, with a career spanning over 20 years, MK has become synonymous with the House Music scene globally, garnering success around the world with his remixes and original productions.

In true MK fashion, this edit of ‘How I Feel’ is one purely for the heads. Turning the original completely on its head from a Piano House anthem to a deep club groover, MK showcases his talents and why he is one of the best around. A vibey, club ready, bumping dub, MK mixes a ground shaking groove with a killer deep bass line that you can feel vibrating in your chest. Huge!

Stepping up to the plate for our final remix is Biscits, the Southampton born and bred artist & producer who has been making huge waves recently.

Having knocked heads already on their huge collab ‘Ready 2 Dance’ feat. Anelisa Lamola, Biscits seemed like a natural choice to remix Martin’s 2019 hit ‘How I Feel’. Pumped up and ready to hit the dance floor, Biscits pulls out a stomping Tech banger. Along with MK’s Dub & the Vocal Mix of the original, this is shaping up to be an all-out, killer collection of club edits ready to tear up clubs and dance floors the world over…

Die niederländische Eurodance-Gruppe 2 Brothers On The 4th Floor wurde 1990 gegründet, als die beiden Brüder Bobby und Martin Boer in einem kleinen Schlafzimmer in der elterlichen Wohnung im vierten Stock mit Musik zu experimentieren begannen. Zusammen mit dem Rapper Da Smooth Baron MC und der Sängerin Peggy »The Duchess« veröffentlichten sie noch im selben Jahr ihre erste Single »Can't Help Myself«, die 1991 zu einem internationalen Hit wurde. Danach war es eine Weile ruhig, aber 1993 waren die Brüder wieder da und lieferten in den folgenden Jahren mehrere internationale Hits: »Never Alone« mit D-Rock (René Philips) und Des'Ray (Desirée Manders), »Dreams« und »Let Me Be Free«.

In den Neunzigern produzierten 2 Brothers On The 4th Floor zahlreiche internationale Hits. Allmählich änderte sich der Stil von Eurodance in Richtung Happy Hardcore, aber sie blieben eine Hitmaschine mit Singles wie »Fly (Through the Starry Night)«, »Come Take My Hand« und »Fairytales«. 1996 wechselten 2 Brothers On The 4th Floor sogar zum R&B mit der Single »One Day«, die vom Publikum gut aufgenommen wurde. Aber Bobby und Martin beschlossen, zu ihren Eurodance-Wurzeln zurückzukehren und lieferten der internationalen Tanzszene viele weitere Titel.

Dieses Jahr feiern wir das 30-jährige Erbe von 2 Brothers On The 4th Floor. »The Very Best Of« ist in einer limitierten Auflage von 2000 einzeln nummerierten Exemplaren auf goldfarbenem Vinyl erhältlich. Das gesamte Audiomaterial wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit Martin und Bobby selbst von den Originalquellen für Vinyl remastered.

“Dreams of a Dancefloor” is the latest EP by Octo Octa (aka Maya Bouldry-Morrison) on her label T4T LUV NRG. Maya spent the last 3 years perfecting her engineering on these three sensual, beautiful and enveloping songs. For the opening track, “Late Night Love”, we hear Octo Octa capturing not just the subjective experience of dancing together, but also what happens after the party, making love and holding her partner close. It has none of the formalism of “big trance” and is instead an extended house-trance missive all her own with beautiful resonances that evoke Motherbeat and the ineffable softness of true connection. The second track “Let Yourself Go!” raises the tempo but maintains the mood of the record. The song is a classic Octo Octa ecstatic breakbeat acid jam written for building heat in the body and for speaker-dancing under a starlit sky. The E.P. closer, “Come Here, Let’s Commune”, is an invitation to explore togetherness. The essence of the track is a gorgeous piano theme, grounded in Maya’s belief that the dancefloor experience can be not only exciting and ecstatic, but also deeply moving and generative—a reminder that underground dance culture offers permission for connections unsanctioned in the dominant society.

The EP features original art by Q and mastering by Trutone legend Carl Rowatti.

Alexia (real name Alessia Aquilani) was born in La Spezia (Italy). In 1990 she joined the DWA Team, first as a studio vocalist, singing on the hit song "Please don't go" by Double You, then she took part in the "ICE MC" project, a musical project with a rapper and Alexia as singer. All of Europe was dancing and singing to the songs "Take away the colour", "Think about the way" and "It's a rainy day" and everybody became familiar with Alexia's beautiful clear voice. In 1995 Robyx decided to compose a song especially for her. "Me and you" was her first single and within just days of its release, its presence was felt across Europe, reaching no.1 in Italy and in Spain.

As a follow-up to "Me and you", the new single, "Summer is crazy", came out in 1996. The song reached the top of the charts and became the signature tune for "Festivalbar", the most popular Italian summer music festival. It was no.1 in Italy, Spain and Finland, top 20 in France, top 40 in the rest of Europe and was one of the biggest summer successes of 1996.

As summer drew to a close it was time to create a new song fit for Alexia's incredible voice. In November 1996 Alexia released her third single, “Number One”. It proved to be a smash hit, going to no.1 in Italy and many other countries. In January 1997 recording of her first album “Fan Club” began. It was released in May 1997 together with a new single, "Uh la la la", for the imminent summer season. "Uh la la la" was the most played and danced song of that summer! It reached no.1 in Italy, Spain and Finland and made top ten throughout the rest of Europe. The album sold more than six hundred thousand copies and was awarded many gold and platinum discs.

Welcome to the Mirrorball Motel - the shimmering nocturnal world of Future Disco from the NeedWant label. It's a 19-track exploration of the magical and escapist sounds of artists like Digitalism, Cinthie, Bondax, Reflex, Roosevelt and more. The Mirrorball Motel is a place that transports you to another place, a party you don't want to end and when it does, you'll feel it was all a dream. It’s where the magic happens, an evening without inhibitions, where you dance without thinking. Musically it's a mix of all forms of disco and house as represented here.

This bumper collection features five exclusive new tunes. Daisybelle & Tasty Lopez's 'Starlight' (Future Disco Ballroom Dub) has a classic disco feel from the two first ladies of the green. Italoconnection - 'All Over' (Future Disco Edit) brings an eighties vibe that reminds of Ibiza venue Pikes, whilst the mysterious Clive From Accounts 'You Understand' impresses with its soaring strings and house bassline. The final two exclusives are Charlie Hepworth's 'It's Satisfaction' with its full thrill house drums and acid flashes, and Boys Shorts's 'Suburban Love Affair' (Brian Ring Remix), which sounds like summer on the shores of Los Angeles in 1989.

Elsewhere is the simple but effective future disco of Bondax, a Brazilian via French disco cut from PPJ, and exciting and intricate grooves from the trio of Breakbot, Irfane & Yuksek. There is euphoric 90s house from Saison, challenging yet reassuring vocal work from the legendary Roisin Murphy as remixed to perfection by the wizard that is The Reflex and much more besides.

Future Disco: Mirror Ball Motel is a wide-angle view of a perfect dance floor, all served up with that famously characterful and vibrant Future Disco style.

Once again Balkantek, Electro Techno and Tribe 2.0 take place here for a full party time EP

1996 - 2016 : 20 years of success with over 20 million of records sold all across the globe! Thanks to key partnerships, during its first 20 years of business Do It Yourself had the pleasure to represent, promote and/or publish artists the likes of Calvin Harris, Sia, Deadmau5, Omi, Eminem, 50 Cent, The Black Eyed Peas, Mary J. Blige, Stromae, Sting, David Bowie, Queen, Shaggy, Puff Daddy, The Roots, Moby, Toni Braxton, Underworld, Emilia, Marilyn Manson, Blink 182, Bob Marley, Lisa Stansfield, Enrique Iglesias, Ricky Martin, Gabrielle, Modjo, Bel Amour, Aqua, The Specials, Sugar Babes, Babybird, Nelly, The Notorious B.I.G., N-Sync, Safri Duo, The Bloodhound Gang, Sonique, 5-Five, Janet Jackson, Snoop Dogg, FloRida, Wiz Khalifa, Nicki Minaj, Dale Saunders, Bruno Mars, Akon, Lil Wayne, T-Pain, Kelly Rowland, Trina, Dwaine, Coolio, Public Enemy, Ola, Mr. Oizo, Inna, Edward Maya, Sak Noel, Guru Josh, Fragma, Paradisio, ATB, Scooter, Lutricia Mc Neal, Armin Van Buuren, Hardwell, Nicky Romero, Roger Sanchez, Todd Terry, just to name a few. Do It Yourself brought to success artists such as GALA (Freed from desire, Let a boy cry), THE SOUNDLOVERS (Run-away, Surrender), REGINA (Day by day, Killing me softly) CAROLINA MARQUEZ (S.e.x.o.), MOLELLA (Discotek people, Love last forever), MIRANDA (Vamos a la playa). All these artists and songs were able to make the history of the dance scene, not only in Italy, all that much to become real 'classics' of the 1990s and 2000s. Do It Yourself is also partner and co-owner of smash-hits such as 'I know you want me' by PITBULL and 'Seek bromance' by TIM BERG (better known as Avicii). To celebrate such an important goal let's go back to origins with a limited vinyl edition (12' - mix) selected by the man who wrote the history of Do It Yourself and beyond: Max Moroldo. 'It was difficult to chose among the hits we released in the past 20 years. Every single has its own history, often an amazing one, so almost all our tracks would be worth a new release - if only I could. I picked up the tracks I am particularly close to (further to 'Alors on danse' by Stromae, 'Lady' by Modjo, 'Bornslippy' by Underworld, 'Played-a-live' by Safri Duo, 'Sandstorm' by Darude, which we do not control anymore), because they were real challenges...and I won! The first two releases want to be a tribute to great international artists, which I had the pleasure to bring to success in Italy: GURU JOSH (earthly name Paul Walden, who recently passed away) and CALVIN HARRIS (on my opinion the most complete pop-dance artist in the last 10 years)' Moroldo explains.

Wankelmut makes his Toolroom debut alongside Anna Leyne with ‘Free At Last’, backed by a remix from label favourite Martin Ikin.

A prominent name within electronic music, with remixes for the likes of Dennis Lloyd, Lenny Kratiza and Hozier, through to his highly successful single ‘My Head Is A Jungle’, remixed by one of house music’s most distinguished talents MK, German DJ and producer Wankelmut’s career has seen the Berlin-based talent grow to become one of the country’s finest musical exports. Next up, welcomes a label debut on Toolroom alongside vocalist Anna Leyne as the pair deliver their latest single ‘Free At Last’, accompanied by a remix from label regular Martin Ikin.

The shimmering ‘Free At Last’ showcases Wankelmut’s premium production skills as slick percussion grooves combine with funk-influenced basslines and Anna Leyne’s powerful vocals, whilst Martin Ikin’s interpretation reveals a robust, feel-good house cut fuelled by the originals infectious vocals atop of bright, resonant piano melodies and crisp drums.

Having closed 2021 with a critically acclaimed sold-out UK tour, Soft Cell share new single ‘Purple Zone’, a new collaboration with Pet Shop Boys taken from their eagerly anticipated fifth studio album ‘*Happiness Not Included’. Having attended one of the tour’s London shows at which the new track was performed, Pet Shop Boys immediately picked out ‘Purple Zone’ as one of their favourites from the evening. The two legends of electro-pop initially planned for Pet Shop Boys to remix the song, but this quickly mutated into a full collaboration.
‘Purple Zone’ is now a dream duet for synth-pop connoisseurs as Marc Almond’s ultra-expressive delivery intertwines with Neil Tennant’s wistful yearning, encapsulating the existential questions about the passing of time that are posed throughout the course of the album. Raising its tempo, Pet Shop Boys also added a hi-NRG sheen that elevates the track’s moody melancholy, Chris Lowe’s trademark high-drama synths producing a theatrical intensity.
‘Purple Zone’ by Soft Cell & Pet Shop Boys is available on 12” vinyl and CD. The CD also features Soft Cell’s take on the X-Ray Spex cult classic ‘The Day The World Turned Day-Glo’, and the Manhattan Clique remix of ‘Purple Zone’, while the 12” boasts a full selection of mixes by Pet Shop Boys.

Producer Frank Farian, the man behind Boney M and Milli Vanilli, rolled out his ‘90s equivalent, La Bouche, in 1995. The German based Eurodance duo La Bouche featured vocalist Melanie Thornton and rapper Lane McCray. They gained international success in 1995 when the hit single “Be My Lover” reached the top of the charts. In that same year they released their debut album Sweet Dreams featuring the singles “Fallin’ In Love” and “I Love To Love”.

Greatest Hits of La Bouche is available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on translucent red coloured vinyl and includes an insert.

2001: Guillaume Atlan is nominated with 'Starlight' at the MTV Awards in the best French artists category. 20 years later, the first generation French Touch (Modjo, Demon, Cassius, Stardust, Etienne de Crécy etc.) is almost gone. Among the few still active, The Supermen Lovers, who will release his fourth studio album, 'Body Double', end of May.

A reference to Brian de Palma's film and its perfect plastic, the disc bears witness to the many artistic encounters and tumults of love that feed Guillaume during his trip to Kyiv from 2018 to 2020. Love can move mountains but can also destroy a man. Demons and emotions will make him go back to the studios, firstly in Kyiv, which reminds him of Paris in the 90s : strong energy, a thirst for discovery, creation and pure spontaneity. Straddling 2 musical bodies, the heart of Body Double balances between vocal electro-disco and clubbing, without forgetting this analog/digital jumble dear to Guillaume. He is an electro producer, a DJ, but above all a multi-instrumentalist. Machines in contact with “real” instruments…
