about

Ady Toledano is known as one of Berlin’s most devoted and knowledgeable DJs, a talent capable of party-starting across a diverse spectrum of contexts. Recently making his much-deserved debut at Panorama Bar, the Israeli-born artist was previously a resident at vital underground queer party RIOT, returning guest on HÖR radio, where his colourful rhythmic oddyseys deviated from a palette of scheduled hammering eurotechno, and co-host of Time Machine on Refuge Worldwide, digging up sonic nuggets from years long since past alongside co-host, Geoffrey LaRue.

Hot Concept are therefore delighted to welcome Toledano to the fold with his first ever original productions, 'Makom', released digitally and on limited-edition cassette. Five recordings of true outsider music rescued from frazzled hard drives, ‘Makom’ blends ambient, minimal and DIY instincts in order to establish Todelano as a musical character politely declining to be pigeonholed, then led back to the darkest of dance floors across two remixes from R. Gamble.

Beginning with the fuzzy, wistful ‘Puddle’, Toledano builds layers of repetition to conjure a unique electronic mood, before pulling the rug back on the baroque, fractured piano of ‘Pain Heals Music’. In contrast, ‘Fire Within’ navigates a landscape of sonic dark matter, finding catharsis in great waves of noise.

With trance-inducing minimalism, the tightly-wound span of ‘Stars’ encompasses both a sense of wonder and uncertainty that unfolds patiently across ten hypnotic minutes. Back down on earth, ‘Dead Trails’ finds Toledano channeling the moodiest palette of his indie and goth influences, locating a pulsing breakbeat beneath a cloak of shadowy feedback.

‘Stars’ and ‘Dead Trails’ are both reinterpreted by R. Gamble, founder of New York label and collective Lost Soul Enterprises. A powerful coldwave inspired take on ‘Fire Within’ promises slow-motion dance floor ecstasy, while the EBM expert’s urgent flip of ‘Stars’ floats in weightless analogue bliss.
