Two massive releases have given the summer club circuit a major adrenaline boost. While emerging artist Kapuzen leaves his mark with the club destroyer “Gimme Tha” on Toolroom Traxx, Madrid’s golden child Crusy keeps up his unstoppable pace with “Kiki” on Toolroom Records.
Crusy has had nothing short of extraordinary success during the last 12 months. The Spanish producer has discovered his calling, creating partnerships that are now vital tools in the most prestigious DJ sets worldwide. In the world club rotation, his collaborations with Dombresky on the huge “Casablanca,” the triple-threat partnership “Watch Out” with Tony Romera and Low Steppa, and the David Penn team-up “Night Train” have all established themselves.
“Kiki” seems like the logical progression of this hot streak. The song is based on a hypnotic groove. Yet it still has the distinctive underground flavor that has made Crusy such a renowned name in the scene. An irresistible vocal hook designed for maximum crowd reaction is the actual killer punch. It’s the kind of moment that turns a decent night into one that will never be forgotten.
Kapuzen, meantime, is creating quite a stir with his Toolroom Traxx debut single, “Gimme Tha.” Anyone who has been listening can see that this isn’t some unknown quantity making a breakthrough, even though this may be his first appearance on the label.
Both tracks arrive at the ideal time. Clubs are ready to kick off the summer season. Crusy and Kapuzen have provided the scene with just what it needs: peak-time firepower that is equally effective on large festival main stages as it is in little basement clubs.
