Following the experimental track "I Like When You," praised by tastemakers like Auntie Flo and Sam Divine, "So Good" serves as a delightful surprise. This high-energy stutter house tune seamlessly blends a stylish drill beat and an uplifting choir vocal, showcasing Tobtok and farfetch'd at their most inspired and playful.
The forthcoming 'My Friends' EP, set for a September release on Perfect Havoc, is a genre-spanning journey through disco, breakbeat, drum and bass, and house. Tobtok's extensive history, including a notable EP on Kitsuné and dancefloor hits on Selected, meets farfetch'd's youthful energy, influenced by the likes of Axtone and Soave.
The story of "So Good" is a creative tale told by Tobtok (Tobias Karlsson), which began as an almost Spanish, tribalesque record. The initial idea was discarded for a more "trendy" approach, leading to an infectious stutter house sound that retains its uniqueness through a powerful choir vocal.
Old-time friends Tobtok and farfetch'd (Jerry Sjödin and Johnny Bergström) have put together an EP that is as technical as it is playful. The concept was simple: make music they love, without concern for streams or viral success. "We just wanted to make music that we like," Tobtok explains.
From nu-disco
to French house, these two producers continue to push boundaries, and "So Good" is a promising sign of what's to come on 'My Friends' EP. It's a refreshing reminder to forget numbers and statistics and focus on the pure, unfiltered joy of music-making.
