Regrooved is fast becoming one of the most popular nights out around the globe and usually fliers tend to huff and puff about things like that... but really, we don’t think it’s very important.

Regrooved puts the tap back in your foot, the nod in your head and the smile on your face with its hallmark funky grooves and welcoming party vibe.  You’ll get down to a mash up Nu Funk, Hip Hop, Disco, Breaks, Dubstep, House, and Funky Drum & Bass; all laced together with Turntablism.

This September we’ve invited internationals the QDup Foundation (USA) and Rephrase (AUS) to join us at Toto’s.

Also at the party are Normski (East Recs; Rudebwoy Soundsystem; Punchout Canada), Funk Ferret (Booty Pirates), Cool Hand Luke (you may have heard his hugely popular HipHopera mixes; He’s also supported De La Soul and Public Enemy in Australia), T Rice, Randomplay and Adam O.  The mic will be in the deft hands of Mikey Rockwell.

Sounds good, right? We think so.

The Opensouls like you've never seen them before!

Not content with making the finalist list for Best Producer at the New Zealand Music Awards Jeremy Toy, Producer of the Opensouls album "Standing In The Rain", delivers a brand new version of the Opensouls track "Dollars".

Produced as a timewarp homage to early 80's disco this Remix features not only the Disco version but also a Disco Dub.  The "Dub", a version that we usually only see on a classic 1980's 12" release.

She's So Rad is Jeremy Toy's new project, a hybrid of 80's electronica and post punk.
