If you have been following our site, you are well aware of our affinity for German based house/techno label Toy Tonics Well it appears that the folks at Beatport agree, as they have pegged Toy Tonics as one of their “Labels To Watch in 2015″

Toy Tonics has taken that to heart and has come our swinging hard with their second release of 2015, featuring Alixander III of recently split AZARI & III fame. Alixander III’s debut release for Toy Tonics allows him to flex his muscles on his three track ‘Heavy Friends‘ EP. Alixander brings along some his friends for the ride with each track featuring a vocalist from his hometown of Toronto.

‘The Black Room‘ features Terence Kissner and is an acid driven affair that showcases Alixander’s unique sounds, with a booming bassline intertwined with acid stabs throughout. Next up is ‘She’s So Young‘ featuring Kim E and Gingy which peals back the acid from’The Black Room‘ taking a more minimalistic approach and letting Kim E and Gringy’s voice play the key instrument. Lastly, ‘Something ‘Bout You‘ featuring Chobo is somewhat of a hybrid of the first two tracks, here Alixander plays with the vocals teasing his way throughout an assortment of unique sleazy sounds giving this one a real late night affair feel.
