Illyus & Barrientos, MALU - Right Here
Read more . . . →Illyus & Barrientos have been a reliable Toolroom export for years, the kind of duo who turn up with a vocal house cut that just works and never asks for much credit. “Right Here” keeps that streak going, pairing a warm, soulful MALU vocal with a groove that splits the difference between proper house and tech house. It’s got more heart than the average peak-time tool, which is exactly why it stands out. The vocal carries real feeling, that yearning, reach-for-someone energy, and the production gives it room instead of burying it under a wall of percussion. I appreciate house...

BUJA (BR) - Hysteria
Read more . . . →Second Dirtybird entry in the batch, and BUJA keeps the Brazilian tech house pipeline flowing with Hysteria. BUJA has been one of the more exciting names coming out of Brazil’s bass house and tech house scene, and Dirtybird is the perfect home for the kind of weird bouncy energy he trades in. Hysteria is built around a groove that wobbles and bounces in that classic Dirtybird way, the sort of low-end pressure that makes a dancefloor do something deeply undignified.

Dirtybird Radio 533 - Victoria Rawlins
Read more . . . →This one’s a mix, not a single, and that’s exactly why it earns a post. Dirtybird Radio 533 hands the controls to Victoria Rawlins, and an hour-plus in the Dirtybird universe is one of the most reliable ways to get your week moving. Dirtybird has spent years being the funniest weirdest most danceable corner of tech house, all booty-shaking grooves and a flat refusal to take itself seriously, and Rawlins clearly gets the brief. The selection rolls through exactly the kind of low-slung slightly ridiculous house and tech house that makes the label’s parties legendary. A good mix is its...

Jude & Frank - The Sound Of House
Read more . . . →Jude & Frank dropping “The Sound Of House” on Toolroom is about as on-the-nose as a title can get, and honestly the track earns the swagger. This is peak-time tech house built for maximum dancefloor damage, all rolling bassline and a vocal hook that does exactly what it says on the tin. Toolroom has been the home of this sound for years, and the duo slot right into that lineage with a track that feels engineered in a lab for sweaty 2am rooms. The groove is hypnotic and relentless, the kind of loop you could happily ride for eight minutes...
