Toolroom Launches New 'Leaders Of The New School' Label

[Hoijdxvh]

These are tough times for our industry, but there's always a place for labels that are serious about what they do. Proving they've never felt more sure of their talented roster, Toolroom launch a brand new sub-label ?LEADERS OF THE NEW SCHOOL?. First release by Matt Samuels out 18th Feb, with Beatport exclusive from 24th Jan 08...

Not content with being one of the dance music industry?s most popular and forward-thinking labels, Toolroom are adding a new weapon to their arsenal with a spanking new sub-label entitled ?LEADERS OF THE NEW SCHOOL?.

This ultra-hot digital label will be focused on giving a platform to the brightest, best new talent from around the world, while also drawing attention to established artists who have not yet gained the recognition that Toolroom thinks they deserve. The label is all about strong talent, new music, and the freshest sounds.

As Mark Knight explains, ?This is the evolution of our Leaders Of The New School EP series, which was breaking ground for artists like Richard Dinsdale & Patric La Funk. We are giving artists the opportunity to release on a bigger label? both up-and-coming artists who are creating hot music that?s rocking dancefloors across the globe, AND artists that have been working the scene for years, but not necessarily had the spotlight they?re worthy of.?

Label Director Stuart Knight commented, ?After 5 years of establishing Toolroom as a worldwide brand, we feel now is a great time to push the boundaries further and expose future talent and cutting edge music. Each release will get the full Toolroom treatment through our promo, press and licensing channels. 2008 is set to be our biggest year yet with worldwide Toolroom Knights tours & compilations, and the launch of Leaders Of The New School begins an exciting new era for us!?

Trailblazing young producer Matt Samuels has been selected to start the new label with a bang, serving up his 3 track ?START TO FINISH EP?, a mouth watering m?lange of four-to-the-floor goodness! ?Start To Finish? blends fast-flowing leadlines with crisp drums and luxurious bass, creating a deftly melodic ride that?s found favour with Hernan Cattaneo & Nic Fanciulli. Second track ?Amillionmilesaway? is a hip shaking tech-fest that packs an unmistakable punch. Matt?s finale ?At Last? is a buzzing, surging trip with snaking synths and uber-deep sub bass that builds into a peak-time stormer! The EP is a perfectly programmed cruise into sound that shows why Matt Samuels is such hot property right now.

Here comes an explosive new chapter of the Toolroom tale!
