No question – grooves guaranteed until home time
01. Jimi Hendrix – Fire
Thanks to this track I started playing drums, as my first drumming experience was in a cover band of J.Hendrix.
02. Red Hot Chili Peppers – Sir Psycho Sexy
“Blood Sugar Sex Magik” is one of my fav of all the time, and certainly one of the Album that defined the word “Crossover”.
03. Rage Against The Machine – Renegades Of Funk
I’ve always been a big fan of Ratm, and especially their latest works in the early 2000s.. video for this track is cool too..
04. At The Drive In – One Armed Scissor
This reminds in my late teens, at the time I was going to see a lot of concerts.. at the drive in was one of those…
05. Quantic – Not So Blue
“Apricot morning” is one of the best work of colombian musician William Holland aka QUANTIC.. this song particularly reminds me of a beautiful period of my life…
06. D’Angelo – Chicken Grease
Best R’n’b Album of all the time. no doubt bout it.
07. Daft Punk – Revolution 909
This are the only daft punk we like…

In my opinion one of the all time best production in electronic music.

I love this track, especially the acousmatic atmosphere..
10. Verdena – Was
The best and most forward-thinking Italian Rock band.
Black Loops – No Questions (inc. Ardalan remix) (Toy Tonics)
German’s Toy Tonics imprint returns with another unmissable slab of House music, this time courtesy of label favourites Black Loops backed with a remix from Dirtybird producer Ardalan….
Over the past three years German’s Toy Tonics label has become a go-to for consistently quality House music. A spin off from the highly respected Gomma imprint, Toy Tonics has very much found it’s own ground with divergent house DJ’s such as Tensnake, Todd Terje, Audiojack and Eats Everything all supporting the label. Amongst Toy Tonics’ many success stories is Italian duo Black Loops who as one of the first acts to be released have now gone on to record for Audiojack’s Gruuv imprint, picking up international acclaim, heavy radio support and a DJ schedule that sees them bouncing between London venues such as Egg and Fire and Berlin’s Tresor. Now the Black Loops pair return to Toy Tonics with a brand new single that is set to further expand their ever growing fanbase. The release kicks off with title track ‘No Questions’, a bumping house cut build around shuffling drum programming and bobbing bass, peppered with string & key stabs. The record has an old school warmth that provides the perfect backing for the floorfilling, filtered vocals that rise out of the mix to take things to the next level. Next in the pack, the Toy Tonics crew welcome Dirtybird mainstay Ardalan to their ranks. The Iranian born San Francisco resident was a guest at a recent Toy Tonics event in Munich, culminating in a musical bonding that has transferred from the DJ booth and in the studio. Here Ardalan turns to the job of reworking Black Loops ‘No Questions’, delivering a version that retains the original’s spirit whilst twisting things up with some crackle, glitch and added bounce, quality stuff. To close the package Black Loops deliver some delightful deep house in the shape of ‘Suki’. Awash with warm chords and vibrato pads, its deep bass and jazz inflected feel provide a record that is as fit for the afterhours as it is the floor. More musical excellence from Black Loops and the good folk at Toy Tonics… enjoy!
