SURPRISE SURPRISE

Together with producer and dub wizard Umberto Echo from Oneness Records, TOYTOY now ventures into unfamiliar territory on their latest album, “Surprise Surprise.” With illustrious guests like Frank Pollak, Gentleman’s pianist, and Dub Inc. bassist Moritz von Korff the innovative independent project is rooted in reggae fundamentals. A fresh fusion of Caribbean-British reggae grooves and original dub that was mixed live by Umberto Echo.

Umberto Echo

After his first remixes for Abdullah Ibrahim in the early 2000s the Munich sound professor Umberto Echo went dubbing around the globe. He created 2 world music dub jazz albums for the renowned label Enja Records with Jojo Mayer, Josh Roseman, Peter Apfelbaum, Barney McAll, Jean-Louis Matinier, Justin Brown, Ambrose Akinmusire and other collaborators. In 2010 Umberto Echo released Dub The World on the Echo Beach label with remixes by Sly and Robbie, Gentleman, Seeed, Steel Pulse, Damien Marley and Stereo MCs. Umberto Echo has worked on over 300 albums independently, and for his reggae label Oneness Records. He has mixed over 1500 live concerts since 1999.

Gemeinsam mit Produzent und Dub-Wizzard Umberto Echo, der die Gruppe seit ihren Anfängen als ambitionierte Teenagerband in den späten Nullerjahren kennt, wagen TOYTOY nun auf ihrem neuesten Album „Surprise Surprise“ den Sprung in bisher ungewohntes Terrain. Mit illustren Gästen aus Umberto Echos Oneness Records Kosmos wie Gentleman Keyboarder Frank Pollak und Dub Inc. Bassist Moritz von Korff verschmelzen die hyperkreativen Hamburger ihren eklektischen Stil mit karibisch- britischen Reggaegrooves und Dub-Klängen. Auch live von Umberto Echo gemischt, verspricht die Releasetour zum Album im Herbst 2024 ein Fest für Audiophile wie Tanzwütige gleichermassen zu werden. Als Gäste am Keyboard werden abwechselnd Friedrich Paravicini und Yannis Anft mit dabei sein.
