TOYTOY Invites Kai van Dongen
"Capital Underground, Alex Theatre and 39a GwiGwi Mrwebi. Many nights were spent raving till the early hours of the morning throughout the various TOYTOY venues over the years. A slow and steady approach allowed for a solid subconscious sense of rhythm to be instilled deep within those of us that regularly stayed for the 2am-6am sets, that's when things would get really weird and you could feel the room swaying and breathing as the resident for that night would take us on a journey that would not simply feed our immediate need for a banging 4/4 stripped back Techno track but maybe delivering something that you didn't think would actually fit at that point in time within the evening and allowing yourself to let go, drift into the darkness and go along for the ride.
I've been living in London for nearly 3 years now and wanted to showcase a mix of music from a group of artists that I am really passionate about as well as including a couple unreleased and recently released bits from myself. The goal was to try and merge what I remember from my time on the TOYTOY dancefloor with the experiences and music that I have grown to love this side of the world and in doing so present a more rounded mix for the TOYTOY listeners.
Thanks for tuning in. 😊
