TOYTOY x UMBERTO ECHO

In the organizer's words:

TOYTOY x UMBERTO ECHO
30.11.24 | 20:00 | Hall
Presented by Jazzhouse

TOYTOY from Hamburg are four musical virtuosos in one energetic bunch. Together they form a catalyst for influences ranging from Frank Zappa and Weather Report to J Dilla and Terrace Martin. At the same time, they breathe the clouds of a young global jazz scene. Accelerated by the unbridled energy of their live shows, the four also create their very own vibe in the studio. Bass heat, percussion sound mega palette, drum sass, hypnotic guitar. Following the example of American music collectives such as Soulquarians or The Roots, TOYTOY see themselves as a creative driving force and facilitator for the fusion of jazz and urban music such as soul and rap. Together with producer and dub wizard Umberto Echo, who has known the group since their beginnings as an ambitious teenage band in the late noughties, TOYTOY are now venturing into unfamiliar territory on their latest album "Surprise Surprise". With illustrious guests from Umberto Echo's Oneness Records cosmos such as Gentleman keyboarder Frank Pollak and Dub Inc. bassist Moritz von Korff, the hyper-creative Hamburg band fuse their eclectic style with Caribbean-British reggae grooves and dub sounds.
Also mixed live by Umberto Echo, the release tour for the album in fall 2024 promises to be a feast for audiophiles and dance fans alike.
