Notes:
Toolroom Knights returns with its next
installment; the impressive double line
up of Tocadisco & Chris Lake.
Through timely and super catchy reworks
of The Egg and Mylo a few years ago,
Tocadisco aka, Roman Boer muscled his
way into the thriving electro house
scene and has since become one of itÆs
high ranking elite. Since his 2004
debut single ôNobody likes the records
that I playö (It turns out that
everyone did!) Tocadisco has continued
to show heÆs far from a one-trick pony
and slowly but surely carved out a name
for himself as one of the best
electro/techno DJs and producers.
Tocadisco has certainly managed to
figure out how to make remarkably
likeable records in such a short period
of time and his career has seen him
remix for the likes of Axwell &
Ingrosso, ATB, Amo & Navas, Bob Sinclar
and of course Toolroom Records.
TocadiscoÆs mix on CD1 kicks off with
the indelible piano riff of Tony
LionniÆs ôFound A Placeö before moving
swiftly through deep percussive cuts
combined with a more vigorous backbone.
Tracks including Oxia û ôWhole Lifeö
and Christian SmithÆs ôAlmavivaö create
a polished and upbeat electro-
influenced techno vibe.
Keeping the party heads happy CD1 soon
accelerates into TocadiscoÆs awesome
exclusive remix of Miami smash
æStopoverÆ by Dirty South & Mark
Knight. TocadiscoÆs own production
talents are showcased with his storming
remixes of Zoo BrazilÆs ôLate At Nightö
and ôPongö by Wippenberg heavily washed
in groove and rhythm. Another exclusive
follows with Tomy DeClerque dynamic
ôBackup Againö.
The duty of mixing CD2 falls on the
energetic shoulders of Chris Lake.
Globally recognised as one of the most
exciting young yet accomplished
producers, who is currently working
closely with regular studio partner
Marco Lys, as well as Michael Woods and
Funkagenda. In 2009 Chris successfully
won over America with two Billboard
Dance chart airplay number 1Æs and
multiple tours have ensured that from
Vancouver to Rio, NYC to Miami, the
sound of Chris Lake has travelled far
and wide.
Not only has this year kicked off with
a remix of his collaboration with good
friend Deadmau5 ôI Saidö taking Pete
TongÆs first ôessential new tune of the
decade.ö but Chris has been confirmed
as a Cream Ibiza resident for Deadmau5
& Friends this summer season at
Amnesia.
Chris Lake lays down CD2 with the
enthralling jacking vibe in Uner &
CoyuÆs remix of Noir & Westboy ôSheÆs
Got My Heartö and of course Riva
StarrÆs massive remix of Lake & Lys ôLa
Trombaö. Fresh sounding and fully
engaging productions from Sergio
Fernandez and Stefano Noferini tighten
the tension screws before he pushes the
BPM counter slightly harder and morphs
through disco basses to deliver his
more customary sound including his own
show stopping ôDominosö with fellow
Toolroom Knight Micheal Woods. In
Toolroom Knights tradition Chris LakeÆs
mix is bursting with exclusives,
including ôAmigaö that wont fail to
shake any motionless hips in the nearby
vicinity.
Both CD's bridge the gap between warm-
up and peak time with a distinctive yet
daring sidestep away from the obvious
to explore all corners of the house
spectrum. Tocadisco and Chris LakeÆs
mixes fuse together to continue
Toolroom KnightÆs esteemed reputation
as purveyors of only the best house and
techno.
