![Thomas Schumacher - Slow/NYC [Get Physical Music]](http://www.houseplanet.dj/portal_images/beatport-artists/beatport-thomas-schumacher.jpg "Thomas Schumacher - Slow/NYC [Get Physical Music]")
Since his debut single for the Get Physical crew 'Picanha', appeared on our sister label Get Digital, Thomas Schumacher has been on fire. Rightfully so, as here is a man whose list of productions flows on longer than the Nile. Which is not really surprising as his career spans well over 20 years, leaving him head and shoulders above the onslaught of new producers that have appeared since the digital age of music dawned upon us. This invaluable experience is a main reason why many of his releases, such as the Summer blinder 'Sunset', have slipped into charts and smashed clubs all over the world. Another testament to his studio cunning can be chalked up to DJ T., seeking him out as the producer and audio engineer for the production of his acclaimed album The Inner Jukebox.
Who doesn't love Balearic House? Ok, well forget those cheesy parties in Ibiza of the early 90's, as all things can be appreciated when tastefully applied. And that is precisely what Schumacher accomplishes With 'Slow'. A slowly building mild Balearic groove - not even the slightest bit overbearing, rather inducing a bit of a more subdued hypnotic vibe. Chronologically applying a series of effects to the female vocal snippets while shuffling them forward and back against the groove, indicate his ability to use simple effects to create intricate results.
Not sure what the title 'NYC' of the B-Side has to do with the tune itself. Maybe it is the way the percussive elements all mold together like the cultures of the world's most famous city. It could also be the 'tick, tick' sample of the clock that all the residence seem to be racing against. Speeding cabs whizzing by on 14th St. might also sneak their way into the background of the audio field. Maybe it is just the motion of the city whose energy inspires people all over the world. Including Thomas Schumacher.

![Koen Groeneveld - Microburst EP [Toolroom]](http://www.houseplanet.dj/portal_images/groeneveldmicroburst.jpg "Koen Groeneveld - Microburst EP [Toolroom]")
Dutch man of the moment Koen Groeneveld returns to Toolroom Trax after the triumphant success of his No. 1 chart topping ‘Rockafeller Skank’ release with Fatboy Slim that’s still rocking dance floor’s worldwide to this day!!
Fresh from remixing the new David Guetta/Akon track, Koen is a rare breed of producer with a very distinctive sound that is instantly recognisable; the ‘Microburst EP’ is a two tracker of groovy tech-house & techno undertones all expertly crafted together in a melting pot to create a musical feast worthy of a royal banquet.
‘Microburst’ is the lead track with a rolling bouncy groove, edgy synth stabs and rising pads building the tension, it’s a booty shaking slice of well matured Tech house goodness!!
Second track ‘Stalled’ takes things a little deeper and is more raw, though still retaining that signature Koen sound, the drops are more drawn out, slamming back in to a very catchy high energy, up-tempo rhythm full of peaks & troughs..
Koen doesn’t rest on his laurels here and proves why he is a very in-demand producer that is constantly re-writing the rule book when it comes to providing the global dance scene with forward thinking, grade A underground club music.

Toolroom Records will release Funkagenda's Toolroom Knights on November 9th, 2009.
If you haven t heard of Funkagenda then where have you been hiding? Over the last 3 years, Adam has become a name synonymous with quality House music. A regular on prominent labels including TOOLROOM, POSITIVA, DEFECTED, AZULI, MINISTRY OF SOUND, SIZE, BIG LOVE & SUBLIMINAL. His production and remix skills are highly sought after Worldwide, and have seen him remix for BASEMENT JAXX, MOBY and write a track on the new BLACK EYED PEAS album. Add to this 3 Beatport Number 1 s (2 with Toolroom label boss Mark Knight), and DJ support from PETE TONG, AXWELL, DIRTY SOUTH, STEVE ANGELLO, SEBASTIAN INGROSSO & ARMIN VAN BURREN, its easy to see why Funkagenda has become a serious driving force in shaping House music today. And production is not the only string to his bow...
His DJ talents are also a permanent fixture in clubs around the globe, with 2009 seeing him travelling to AMERICA, CANADA, RUSSIA, SOUTH AMERICA, ROMANIA, POLAND, SPAIN, FRANCE, ISREAL, SERBIA, GREECE to name but a few. Always re-editing and remixing tracks into his own production style, his DJ sets have a unique sound and began to catch the ears of many promoters around him, add to this the fact that his tracks are the flavour of the moment it s no wonder he won best newcomer and best tune of the summer at last year s Ibiza DJ Awards. Funkagenda's creative spin on DJing creates a unique and engaging experience that has become a regular fixture at Toolroom Knight s events. Because of all these elements, Funkagenda seemed an obvious choice for the next compilation.
So onto the mix. With a staggering 37 tracks, Funkagenda seamlessly blends big hitters from D Ramirez, Mark Knight, D Nox & Beckers, Crazy P, Matteo DiMarr, BT, Lützenkirchen, Sebo K, & Jimpster, working the edit and utilising accapellas from Defected s DJ Gregory, Mutiny, Kirsty Hawkshaw & Nadia Ali. Be sure to check Kirsty Hawkshaw s Face To Face vocal over Ritkam & Bansi s Bass Master Zorro , and Nadia Ali s legendary Rapture over Adam Shaw s Far Cry , recreating the massive booty championed by Pete Tong.
Both CDs build both groove and pace from the more straight up Housier outings to Dancefloor Tech House & Techno bullets. Included in the mix is Mark Knight & Funkagenda s recent smash Good Times , Funkagenda s recent remix of the classic Zoe by Paganini Traxx, and 3 exclusive tracks written exclusively for the compilation. The excellent Zomg and Lmaoblade appear here for the first time alongside the massive groove induced Kim Fai collaboration: Gayfest .... A definite highlight on CD1.
