Toby Tobias ‘Space Shuffle’ Album Launch: 18.06.08 |
To mark the release of Toby Tobias’s debut album ‘Space Shuffle’, Rekids is throwing their first party in the capitol at the infamous Plastic People. The mark the event Toby will be performing his debut live set alongside Kathy Diamond, who featured on his recent ‘The Feeling’ single, plus label co-founder Matt ‘Radio Slave’ Edwards will also be jetting in from Berlin for a DJ set.
Rekids recently celebrated its 2 year anniversary, and in its brief history it has gone from strength to strength working with the likes of Radio Slave, Mr. G, Luke Solomon, Spencer Parker, Kenny Hawkes, plus remixes by the likes of Prins Thomas, Rob Mello, Claude Von Stroke, Marcel Dettman and many more.
‘Space Shuffle’ is Rekids second album and showcases Tobias’s ability to draw on so many influences and use the essence of each to make his own unique sound is not only his strongest quality but also a very rare one. His slower disco output has just the same strength of depth and groove as Lindstrøm, Terje, Fulton or DFA. His housier tracks are full of soul and character and would slide into any DJ set by Dixon or Amé. He loves spacey techno and is a massive fan of Carl Craig, Francois K and Ray Mang, all of which is obvious. There’s also a wonderful Balearic thread that runs throughout Space Shuffle, an album that couldn’t be more aptly titled. It’s music for the mind, body and soul.
Performing on the night:

Radio Slave – DJ Set,
