Belgium’s Tom Dazing returns to ToysForBoys for his second EP on the label, with two tracks of growling, fuzzy madness, plus a remix from Tim Xavier. Since 2006’s Intenze EP, the 23-year-old DJ/producer has also released on other labels such as Marco Bailey Selektions, Heimatmelodie, and Coincidence Records.
“Motion Sickness” is crafted to take the dancefloor on an unsettling ride, with undulating waves of distortion and pangs of dissonance. Those with sensitivities to beeps and clicks are advised to stay away from this track. Keep your barf bags handy! This one is also featured on Bloody Mary’s brand new Toys For Boys mix CD Tanz mit mir (TFBCD02). The snappy beat of “Cappadoras” is slightly more straightforward, but its layered syncopations of rhythm and melody always keep things interesting.
Providing a rougher and rawer take on “Motion Sickness” is Tim Xavier, who recently relocated his studio enterprise Manmade Mastering from Brooklyn to Berlin, and is also half of the duo Afternoon Coffee Boys (Clink Music, Cocoon) along with Tony Rohr. This jack-of-all-trades also runs his own labels Klickhaus, 773 Tekno, and LTD400. ToysForBoys was thrilled by hearing the results of Mr. Xavier’s remix: with its dirty, propsultive bass thump, combined with those swelling surges of fuzz, this track is a vacuum cleaner and you’re a tiny speck of dust. Watch out!

Nice work again, Tompie.
First one is too "puut puut" for me, so I'm going for Motion Sickness and Tim Xavier did as well a great job with it.
