Video: Theo Parrish playing Illusion at Suncebeat Festival in Croatia

Theo Parrish is one of our favourite DJ’s, no question. We knew he’d been playing it at Plastic People regularly but we were well chuffed to hear reports over the Suncebeat weekend, that Theo Parrish had played our single from 2008, “Illusion” twice at the festival.

Add in reports of Tony Humphries playing our label’s latest release from Tomson & Benedict and we were thoroughly made up about the representation we’d had at one of europe’s best music festivals – a little compensation for missing out on going as it looked and sounded amazing by all accounts. Special thanks to our good friend Matty Archer for shooting this footage!

We still have a few copies of Illusion in the Tone Control vinyl archive, so hit us up if you’d like to purchase one for £5 plus postage – info@tonecontrolmusic.co.uk

Forthcoming: Tomson & Benedict ft. Bantu Soul – “Blind” (inc. Alton Miller and Opolopo mixes)

Tone Control Music return with their 10th release from Tomson and Benedict ft. Bantu Soul. Top selling South African artist Bantu Soul exemplifies his catchy song writing, with a powerful vocal performance, over hook driven electronic sounds by Tomson & Benedict.

Tomson & Benedict are a Manchester (UK) based production duo whose partnership spawns a mutated deep house sound, representing influences of old school house, garage and techno with future-thinking electronic synths and programming. Tomson & Benedict have built up a body of production and remix work involving names such as Paul Randolph, Atjazz, Flowriders and Paris Brightledge. Their discography includes releases together on Freerange, Urban Torque, Hudd Traxx and Kolour.

Bantu Soul has been performing and releasing music in his native South Africa for over a decade, with his style evolving from RnB to Soulful House. Having won Metro FM’s Best Male vocalist in South Africa, his most notable contribution to international house music was through a Black Coffee remix of “Even Though”, taken from his debut album. Since then Bantu Soul has collaborated widely and is currently working on his next studio album.

High quality remixes follow to cater for a range of vibes. Alton Miller turns in a deep and woody organic mix for the late night heads, while Opolopo turns the song into a modern boogie monster! Throw in a heady Telepathy dub and creative Instrumental edit from Tomson and Benedict themselves and the technophile’s are catered for to inspiringly high standards too – in short, electronic soul of all styles for the modern dance floor. Check out some clips here:

Tomson & Benedict ft. Bantu Soul – Blind (inc. Alton Miller and Opolopo mixes) by Tone Control Music

1. Original Vocal Mix / 2. Instrumental Re-edit / 3. Telepathy Dub – Big vocal mixes for the peak time dancefloor are complemented by powerful and hypnotic dub and instrumental versions to give this song maximum appeal at home and in the club.

4. Opolopo boogie remix – Opolopo plays from London to Tokyo, as a one man band, with jazz ensemble Expansions, or with primary collaborator Amalia Miz Fuze Townsend. Opolopo’s music spans over a decade on labels such as JVC Japan, Om Records, Warner Brothers, Tru Thoughts, Sony/BMG, Swedish Brandy, and Especial Records. Collaboration/remix highlights include the legendary Dazz Band, Craig David, Mr. V, Lanu, Simon Grey, Ok_Ma, Mpho Skeef, Eska, and Sacha Williamson. Opolopo gets boogie with it, on this mix, taking the song back to the future and into a whole new genre!

5. Alton Miller Remix – Alton Miller’s history in dance music goes back to the beginning – from 80’s Detroit days at the Music Institute with Derrick May, George Baker and Chez Damier. Working at Transmat with releases on KMS, Peacefrog and Distance, Alton’s discography goes on to read like a list of every reputable soulful/deep house/techno label that existed in the late 90’s and 00’s right up to recent hits like “When the morning comes”, his collaboration with Amp Fidler on Defected and remixes for R2. Alton brings his history to take Blind to a new deeper dimension with his own signature sound.
