COMMENCEMENT by Police des moeursAlthough a mirror or extension of the previous Péril, COMMENCEMENT differs from it in this way: the atmosphere of the brief interludes that punctuated Péril is now built within most of the pieces, through introductions, suspension bridges or extended finales, thus offering more complex spaces to visit. The duo offers catchy melodies, via synths and vocals, while their bouncy rhythmic signature is still present on several tracks. Composed of 10 eclectic tracks, the album harmonizes through meticulous arrangements. It also constructs it's logic through a narrative framework composed of stripped-down words, acting as incantations. These repetitive formulas seem to come from impotent ruminations, but they also take the form of renewed promises, invitations to revolt or the summoning of a distant joy.

Dan Shake, Kaidi Tatham, Jamie 3:26 on Toy Tonics! Yes. Toy Tonics lead artist Cody Currie released his debut album on the Berlin label last year and now here come the remixes! Pure dancefloor joy is guaranteed with this release. The names speak for themselves. And they really made effective DJ weapons out of Cody's very organic sounding, warm, soul-driven jazzy house songs.Cody by now doesn't need a big introduction anymore. He is one of the „hot“ names from London’s new house scene (even if he lives in Berlin) and being the only one who has made a collabo with Eliza Rose created a certain buzz not just in UK. (they recorded the tracks Danger, Moves, Night Sky released on Cody's debut album Lucas).Since the album release Cody is playing worldwide solo shows but also along with DJs such as Honey Dijon, Parcels or Myd from Ed Banger.
