TOYBOY & ROBIN:-
London’s fast rising producer duo, Toyboy & Robin, have been infectiously fusing the sounds of house music with slices of garage, bass and everything in between over the past 18 months.
Raised on a healthy diet of Garage and 90’s RnB & Hip Hop Toyboy & Robin, started gaining admirers early last year when they released ‘No More Sunshine’ on Sccucci Manucci, which hit number one on Juno and positioned a spotlight firmly on Toyboy & Robin’s slick garage-flecked productions. But it was Summer 2013 that saw the real jewel in their crown ‘Jaded’, which consequently saw them play many times in Europe, as well as all over the UK.

Having produced stunning remixes for Ellie Goulding, Lana Del Rey and Example, Toyboy & Robin also boast support from the likes of Radio 1’s MistaJam, Toddla T and Cameo, DJ support from the likes of Bondax, T.Williams and Waze & Odyssey and some serious online love from only the coolest Hype Machine blogs.

All of these factors combined has led to their signing to Chase & Status’ MTA imprint, which boasts an impressive roster including Nero, Redlight and Ben Pearce. With an single and EP dropping in the first quarter, Toyboy & Robin look to well and truly stamp their mark on 2014 from the very start!

WILDKATS:-

In goes 10 years DJ experience, all things from house, funk, techno, 80s, 90s, hiphop, disco, a couple beers, a touch magic and outcomes the Wildkats sound. Often difficult to pinpoint, it’s got the energy of house and disco, but sometimes with dark synths, muffled vocals and heavy bass sounds.

Their releases have had great response and support from across the globe. After early releases with London’s Lower East label and Mexico’s Neim Recordings, their ‘System Crank’ track with Russ Yallop was snapped up by Hot Creations catapulting them into the limelight.

Since then they have had further successful releases with Hot Waves, Off Recordings, Made to Play, Akbal Music, Digital Delight and gained notary kudos for their remixes on house giants Get Physical and OM Records.

When these guys are not in the studio its all about having fun on the road.
