Spätkauf with ToiToiToi

I am looking forward to presenting my new album in one of Cologne’s finest record stores this week! So just cool in for a cold beer while I play a couple of my tracks live, spin some records and take you on a musical trip to Ethernbach^*.

Finally, it’s here !

I am more than happy to present my debut album for Ghost Box Records. It took a while to finish and feels really good to let go these tracks now, for some of them were “in progress” for quite a time. It was such a pleasure to work with the Ghost Box family and I am quite proud to somehow be part of it now. With their particular sound they always seemed to be soulmates since I discovered the label years ago. They seemed to represent an approach towards both folklore and technology I was always looking for in vain in Germany. When it comes to tradition, heritage etc. things get difficult over here and with finding an alternative way of dealing with german folk and culture by also emphasising its’ psychedelic elements and calling the kindred spirits of other cultures for support, I always felt like being in a minority of one. The more grateful I am now to have found a save harbour in the imaginary world of Ghost Box and to be able to contribute my very own continental perspespective.

Get the album here.
I hope you enjoy !

A little contribution to the upcoming Summer Solstice. Take off your dancing shoes, it’s time to celebrate!

I am very pleased to announce a very rare live performance of ToiToiToi on a very special date:

On Saturday, 30.04.2016 it’s time to celebrate Beltane/Walpurgisnacht. On this occasion I am going to play a little set, supported by a solo set of Sound8Orchestra. The whole event takes place at SPEKTRUMberlin and is kindly supported by Digital in Berlin.

ToiToiToi & Sound8Orchestra (solo set)
Decks: D/B Sound System
Saturday 30th April 2016 | Doors 19:00 Start 20:00
SPEKTRUMberlin | Bürknerstraße 12 | 12047 Berlin-Neukölln

See you there!

More than proud to announce that the very first vinyl release of Toitoitoi ever comes from no other than Ghost Box Records and is now avaiable to pre-order in their shop.

Could it only be by chance that the cover colour does go so well with the layout of this blog? Who knows…

By the way, the other single this time is from Tim Gane (Stereolab that was) and his great project Cavern of Anti-Matter.

Hurray!

 
A small amount of the Hollow Earth Hippies CDr is now available in the Ghost Box Guest Shop. Better grab yours before they’re all gone…
