New tune from Toro Y Moi

toro y moi

Toro Y Moi ‘s ‘All Alone’, taken from his forthcoming ‘Freaking Out’ EP is a pure synth Funk experience.

It’s awesome to see synth Funk in the hands of an already accomplished songwriter who can keep things catchy and slick and never veering off into Moog squelching oblivion. Of course there is a little wash of Chillwave over the top but on the whole ‘All Alone’ shrugs off the chains of ‘turning-the-reverb-up-to-11 for a smoother, more soulful, sound.

♫ Toro Y Moi – All Alone

The ‘Freaking Out’ EP is available 13th September via Carpark Records.

Toro Y Moi

Toro Y Moi’s new video, ‘How I Know’ is decidedly slapstick by Toro Y Moi standards.

Jordan Kin directed this clip which has gone a bit hipster Casper.

‘How I Know’ is the third single from ‘Underneath the Pine’.

New EP from Toro Y Moi

toro_y_moi

Chillwave staple Toro Y Moi in more of a smooth mode right about now.

He’s just announced his latest EP, titled ‘Freaking Out’ which is rumoured to be influenced by the likes of the Gap Band and Teddy Riley. You can hear that in Toro Y Moi’s cover of Alexander O’Neal & Cherelle’s ‘Saturday Love’. Slick late 90’s electronic R&B with a dreamy Chillwave sheen and an ear for spaced-out Funk. The tune, which features on the new EP, is a sweet love song with a mind-blowing bassline seen through the haze of reverb washed psychedelia.

♫ Toro Y Moi – Saturday Love

‘Freaking Out’ is released 13th September.

Fare Soldi reMix Toro Y Moi

Italian production team Fare Soldi have turned their attention on Toro Y Moi, turning the Chillwave into Funkwave.

Our favourite crazy Disco duo give ‘New Beat’ a thorough Italo influenced Disco going over. The track is cowbell crazy and features June’s official funkiest bassline. Be prepared to be put in a good mood!

More Toro Y Moi reMixes

After last months awesome reMix by Fireo we have another three top quality reMixes of Toro Y Moi latest single ‘Still Sound’.

Nu-Disco original Xinobi brings exactly what we’d expect of him to the table. Crushing Disco grooves and a chilled vibe that make Xinobi out-Disco most Disco acts. Girlfriend Records artist Gossip Culture come up with a suitably dreamy 80’s influenced tune which both captures the feeling of the original but makes it Gossip Culture’s own too. Getting a bit more electronic is Lazydisco who’s bleepy deep, DiscoPop take on the song is a hypnotic builder.

Toro Y Moi gets reMixed by Fiero

The Fiero boys are back and more 80s than ever!

With a bassline that’s got more bounce than a rubber ball and some synth horns straight from a mid 80s episodes of Top Of The Pops their reMix of Chillwave dude Toro Y Moi’s ‘Still Sound’ is like a dream of the decade of FM synthesis. It’s like dry ice and flashing neon in audio form. But this isn’t some cheesy 80s pastiche I’m chatting about here, this doesn’t try to sound retro at all, it just does, aided all the more by the wailing guitar into that leads into a B-Boy beat and some shimmering soul synths.

Is it wrong to thing Toro Y Moi should always sound like this?
