Various Artists - Toolroom Sampler Vol. 8 [Toolroom]

Format: 12" in record label sleeve.
CAT: TOOL1190

The next in Toolroom Records’ 4-track sampler vinyl series brings together four slamming cuts from our recent repertoire.

Kicking things off with another bonafide dance-floor weapon, Essel returns to the label with her brand-new single ‘Sweat’. Her strongest production to date, encapsulating that post-rave energy and cementing herself as one of the hottest rising talents in electronic music.

Following on, Paris born, US based tech house producer Shiba San makes his Toolroom debut with a brazenly twisted track alongside studio partner Ayarez, aptly titled ‘Twist It’.

Next up on the sampler marks the return of a long-standing label favourite, Friend Within, with his powerful, rolling tech house record ‘Pilka’. After landing two of Toolroom’s biggest records last year with ‘Monkey Bars’ and ‘Bring It Down’, receiving huge support across the board - including Paul Woolford (Special Request), Salute, LF System, Dom Dolla and many more – Friend Within is officially back for 2023.

Rounding off the EP, we welcome Sola regulars and one of the freshest and most exciting duos in recent British dance music, Maur, as they join forces with successful US producer Westend for a label debut set to be a 2023 festival anthem – ‘Over’.
