Posted by: Paula Humphreys , September 3, 2012

Mark Knight’s record label, Toolroom Records, have done it yet again and released another fantastic compilation. Toolroom has been around since 2003 and we have seen some huge tracks from the label including; Mark Knight & Funkagenda’s ‘Man With Red Face’, Spoon, Harris & Obernik’s ‘Baditude’ and Fedde Le Grand’s ‘Just Trippin’.

Toolroom Records Ibiza 2012 (Volume 2) compilation was released on August 26th, which features over 40 tracks across an extensive three full length mixes, including a ‘Poolside’, ‘Club’ and ‘Afterclub’ mix. All three mixes are quite alike their given name, with a chilled out, glamorous, feminine vibe to the ‘Poolside’ mix, a more upbeat, fast paced, clubbing experience to the ‘Club’ mix and a wind down, yet still booming, party atmospheric feel to those wanting to continue the celebration, with the ‘Afterclub’ mix.

The ‘Poolside’ mix sends out a message of dancing your ultra-glam dance moves on Space’s Terrace or prancing around the VIP pool areas at Ushuaia’s hottest events, with the traditional Balearic beats shown in each track. We see some immense Producers of today within the mix, from Mark Knight, Noir & Haze, Gigamesh and more. Let the sunshine take over you!

Now we get into the buoyant tracks of the ‘Club’ mix, presenting eminent talents including Deadmau5, John Dahlback, Oliver Lang, Thomas Gold, Kim Fai, Fredde Le Grand and Nicky Romero, plus many more. The tracks on this mix show off an alliance of like-minded party goers going full force and enjoying every sound, twist and turn. There are some remarkable tracks all blended in together to make one clubbing persons paradise.

The final mix of the compilation is the ‘Afterclub’ mix, which hosts some major names, involving Mihalis Safras, Wehbba, Joris Voorn, Luigi Rooca and Umek, plus others. Who doesn’t want to continue the party until the early hours of the sun rising and to bring a sufficient amount of the White Isle into your life?

If you have a love for hedonistic ‘House’ tracks that are well produced by some of the worlds most gifted Music Producers of today then these are the three mixes for you. Whack on at your house party, chill out to on the beach or in the comforts of your bedroom, ready for that all important night out.
