Having set in motion their latest audio/visual endeavour earlier this year, July sees Mark Knight’s Toolroom Records imprint drop the second episode of their Toolroom TV concept.

Relishing in the momentous musical moments collected between their onslaught of Miami WMC and proud return to London, Nina Kravitz, Funkagenda and Fedde Le Grand are just a few of the heads onboard to share their collective club insight, while Maidstone based flag bearer lets slip the latest gossip surrounding his album and the labels blistering return to Space Ibiza this summer.

Pulling firmly on the heartstrings with their widespread Dance legacy, Toolroom TV remains essential viewing for anyone with their pulse on the groundbreaking beats that Knight’s formative imprint continue to deal exclusively in.

April 29, 2012 | Dan Carter

But far from resting on the laurels of his superstar DJ status, the Dutch legends work ethic remains as valiant as ever.

From ‘Put Your Hands Up For Detroit’ to ‘Love Don’t Let Me Go’, their double-barrel club-to-chart endeavours have certainly left a little leeway for the label to not only raise the bar for independent labels, but also foster the next generation of international Electronic talent. Still live and relentlessly direct in their airwave fuelling escapades, Dan Carter and MYNC moniker master Mark Brown sat down to talk shop in the lead up to a calendar mark that artist and imprint alike have come to call their essential proving grounds.
