RARE TREAT : DAS VOLT FANTASY PERFORMED LIVE – AS FEATURED ON THE UNDERGROUND DISCO MOS COMP.
LNA’s forthcoming release comes from ‘The Godfather of the Underground’ all the way from Brookyln, New York. Taking on many different roles in the dance scene over the last two decades, this well renowned producer and DJ has transformed and evolved the sound of the underground, giving deep music relevance in a different and constantly changing era, working across the dance music spectrum with luminaries from Kid Batchelor to Mary J Blige.
Having moved on from his initial Dance label, Goldtone Records, his latest endeavors come in the form of NextMoov Records and NextMoov Traxx and are dedicated to bringing back the deep, soulful sounds of the underground. Something that permeates his latest offering; Revival.
First tune A Definition of a Track makes use of driving beats combined with ethereal and jazz-like melodies that work together to create a hypnotic atmosphere. Second track Space Atmosphere has a more infectious styling, with an ever- progressive melody against a firm groove that grabs the listener and the dance floor.
Also featuring remixes from the much revered Two Armadillos, Giles Smith of Secretsundaze and Martin Dawson (King Roc) have turned out a modern classic to nail any peak time dance floor. The second remix comes from the newly formed Mankind project. Expect more from them this year with two other EP’s in the pipeline. This EP is something rather special! Already receiving critical acclaim from DJ’s and discaries alike.

MACASU : (Motor City Drum Ensemble Loft Party Remix)
CROCODILE SLIPPERS Label: Late Night Audio / LNA 002
Toby Tobias really needs no introduction, his productions have graced some of the world’s finest underground labels, and his debut LP on Rekids won unanimous praise. “Macasu” is a solid dance floor piece, layers of slick percussion, plenty of low end girth and enough of Toby’s trademark dubbed- out and lysergic track trickery to usher in the summer’s Al fresco dancing perfectly.
The mighty Danilo Plessow, otherwise known as Motor City Drum Ensemble is at the top of his game right now, with his esoteric Detroit soul tinged disco vibes. In his own words; ‘Made for breezy summer nights, open air, near the beach, beautiful people around you, and the DJ spinning slow sexy jams like this. Enjoy!’ Already hotly tipped to be the summers anthem.
Severino (Horse Meat Disco)
Macasu is great…love it! Especially the MCDE mix…very Sueno Latino..Sweet!
Toby Tobias (London, UK)
Key player of ‘deep funk-fuelled’ electronic music from Rekids spills the jelly beans
Text by Flora Yin-Wong | Published 18 January 2010
Long releasing on Matt ‘Radio Slave’ Edwards and James Masters’ label Rekids as well as Bearfunk, Tirk, Tiny Sticks, and Jisco, Toby Tobias has been making a breed of groove-filled lo-fi disco, with tracks featuring guest vocals from Kathy Diamond and collaborations with Mythical Beast and Danny Clark whom he runs a night with. Moving between deeper sounds on ‘Don’t Wait A Minute’ to more upbeat tracks such as ‘Beyond Contact’, Tobias has also turned his hands to remixing Das Volt, Chaz Jankel and in turn has been remixed by Prins Thomas and Mirau label owner/tropical electronic producer Tensnake. Reminiscent of summer days under the shade, it is exactly Tobias’ form of sultry smooth dance music that fits into the return of deep house and trending soul and funk or disco elements in dance music such as with the increasing popularity of labels like New York’s Wolf + Lamb and Under The Shade.
DD: Your music mix seems to mix a range of electronic and analogue elements as well- how would you like to describe your work?
Toby Tobias: Umm… deep… funk fuelled, often uplifting, sometimes spacelike, heads-down get your groove on, late-night disco dance music.
DD: What do you think you bring to songs when you remix them?
TT: Danceabilty. A different perspective. Some of my personality. The funk.
DD: Where is your favourite place to play and why?
TT: So far it has been St Petersburg, Tokyo, Belgrade, London (on a good day)… but anywhere in the sun is always good!
WHAT’S…
…special about you?
That’s not for me to say really without sounding massively big-headed I reckon? I’m pretty good at most ball sports!
…your worst vice?
No comment, my mum might be reading! …Oh ok jellybeans
…the world coming to?
After Haiti – it’s not exactly looking rosy, let’s hope we can help them sort themselves out…
…do you eat for breakfast?
Cereal and bananas, jellybeans.
…your favourite website?
Probably latenightaudio.com, just discovered www.tvgorge.com which I think is gonna become the new favourite – although BBC iplayer is boss.
…at the top of your shit list?
People who don’t communicate… London public transport, dodgy phone insurance companies, people who steal iPhones. Latte flavoured jelly beans.
