TOYT 169EP
|
COEO are back on Toy Tonics! The German duo has been part of Toy Tonics since day one. Now they celebrate their return to Toy Tonics with an outstanding EP full of timeless, contemporary house music that also marks their tenth contribution to the label after their first release on the imprint ten years ago. Their house vibes have been defining the sound of the Toy Tonics label for many years and still now they regularly play the Toy Tonics events around the world. On this new EP, one more time the boys dive deep into the Italo and piano house world. With great piano chord drops that make everybody scream on the dance floor, with horn and synth melodies that you can sing along after you heard them one time only and with classic house beats that are THE sound of today. The main title "Nostalgia" is inspired by and a tribute to all the intimate and ecstatic moments they were able to share over the years with music lovers on festivals and in clubs around the world. While the piano house theme on the A1 brings you in that festive mood of your last summer festival you have been to with your closest friends, the second track of the EP "Breeze" takes it on a higher energetic level and combines a funky bass guitar with progressive house elements. On the B side, Italo house influenced "Meet me at the cascades" captivates through an hypnotic approach and unfolds dreamy synth pads and arpeggios to take you on an imaginary journey to your favorite retreat, a place you feel safe. The EP features three original tracks and also a remix by COEO friends Stump Valley (Francesco and Aleksei).

TOYT 096EP

Coeo have been traveling in Japan and discovered the magic of City Pop: that Japanese Disco movement of the 1980s. Back then there were amazing dance tracks coming out of Japan. Some with Japanese lyrics others with American vocals. Often so perfectly played and recorded that it's hard to tell if the music came out of NYC basement studios or for real Asiatic studio musicians. Coeo found a lot of rare jams and did edits for their DJ sets. Here, Toy Tonics put out a few of these rare jams and edits.

TOYT 067EP
|
COEO's pure hedonistic disco-ish attitude combines the funk-driven eclecticism of today and the curiosity of young music cats who always want to be ahead and a sense of quality in music that is absent in so many of today's house music productions. COEO are regularly on the top of the several deep house charts, and there is a reason: their tracks have a new, nasty, sexualized vibe that's inspired by the late 1990s French touch house or early Masters At Work productions. Flesh World is black music basically. It's booty sound. Disco for sure. Percussion jam remix by Kapote.

TOYT 046EP

COEO are to the Toy Tonics label what Masters at Work were to '90s house; they bring soul to house music. Back in the Days could have been made in 1997 by Sneak, Dimitri from Paris, or Lil Louis. But similarities to Berlin's sample-house scene and artists like Max Graef and Hodini are also evident. COEO's hit "Native Riddim," released digitally in 2014 and included here as a vinyl-only bonus, features some heavy jazz samples from COEO's parents' soul collection. It was number-one in the Traxsource charts for several weeks and has impressed everyone from Laurent Garnier to Tensnake.
