“This album series will represent our new musical spectrum - and 'Toolroom Live 01' really achieves that." - Mark Knight After over a decade in the music industry, Toolroom is going back to its roots. We're reigniting our passion for House music and we want to share it with you with the first of a brand new album series, 'Toolroom Live 01', mixed by Mark Knight, Weiss and Adrian Hour and featuring huge tracks by Bontan, Tube & Berger, Dosem and more. The 'Toolroom Live' albums are opportunities for us to highlight our key artists, present new tracks, and give you a taste of the live experience. 'Toolroom Live 01' takes you from underground House music right through to main room Techno, emphasising the vast musical spectrum we are privileged to occupy and shining a spotlight on the three core artists who will be leading our label into the next ten years. No longer an obscure name, Weiss hit the charts with 'My Sister' being played by everyone from Loco Dice to Groove Armada. As with this track, his mix on 'Toolroom Live 01' is created by and for the lover of real House music, referencing the past and looking to the future. Featuring tracks by the likes of MK, Hot Since 82, Harry Romero, Bontan, Tube & Berger and Doorly, alongside a brand new exclusive from Weiss himself, 'I Believe', this is a mix that's all about craftsmanship; it's about the emotions that the tracks evoke; it's about a great passion for House music. At the other end of the spectrum, Adrian Hour is no stranger to this ethos. Well regarded by the likes of Carl Cox and the Suara team for his jaw dropping productions, he infuses his tracks and Toolroom Live mix with an indescribable quality. Adrian Hour deftly weaves his way through the many shades of techno, incorporating new tracks from Pirupa, Erik Hagleton and Coyu & Ramiro Lopez, as well as huge exclusives from himself, D-Unity, Montenegro and more. Finally, Mark Knight ties the album together with his ability to make memorable main room House music and his talent for creating moments that are reminisced about for months, even years, after the event - and this is the focus of his Toolroom Live mix: “You know, it is possible to create credible House music that makes people want to party. And to me that's what Toolroom does best" (Mark Knight). With remarkable new releases from Green Velvet, Harry Romero and Maceo Plex, as well as his own new and exclusive remix of 'Bat For Lashes', Mark Knight shows just why he's at the top of his game. Complimenting a fresh new visual identity and new core artist roster, 'Toolroom Live 01' is an exciting development in our label's history.
