Mr. Modica finally finished his new Munk album. (Release in September)
We sent some of the tracks to friends and the reactions were awesome.
Some other labels started to ask if they can release some of the album tracks.
We agreed. So the first single will be released by our friends from EXPLOITED Records in May.
The song is called SOUTHERN MOON and features US born, Berlin living vocalist Lizzie Paige. Remixes come from HNNY & Darius Syrossian.

It’s kind of crazy how fast and well our house sub label Toy Tonics is growing..
Now we are very proud to announce that UK house legend Luke Solomon will release an EP on TT soon.
Luke has been a idol of us since we were kids… founder of Classic Records and Freaks… A&R at Defected… and he wants his own music on Toy Tonics now? Great! An honor!
