Chocolate Puma Launches It's Tonco Tone Label With A 'Megablast'

March 2, 2020

Legendary Dutch dance act Chocolate Puma presents its very own record label Tonco Tone. Using their decades of experience, the duo René and Gaston aims to surprise, presenting a platform for innovative dance music, exciting new talent, acclaimed names and of course their own productions. The guys kick things off with the aptly titled debut release ‘Megablast’, a raw and sweaty piece of tech house – out now on Tonco Tone.

One of the main reasons for them to start a new label is to be able to share their experience and knowledge they built up throughout the years on both producing and performing. Gaston: “Besides sharing this knowledge we have always felt really inspired by working with talent, so starting this new platform feels to be the next logical step for us.”

Tonco Tone kicks off with the Chocolate Puma produced ‘Megablast’. It’s a record that builds on fierce tech house beats and raw sounds, including feverish vocal samples and a sweaty vibe that makes it the ideal DJ weapon for the clubs and festivals.

In any case, the label will present fresh house music, whether from renowned artists or upcoming talents, or Chocolate Puma themselves. René: “We’ve heard lots of music in our careers, so it’s difficult to surprise us -we’re very critical A&R’s haha! We want to be blown away by something original, and then share this with the rest of the world. We want to surprise people, and Tonco Tone will be just the place for that.”

“It’s a great starting shot”, says Gaston. “Or even a big bang”, adds René. “We often also start our DJ sets like this, so everyone knows we’re there haha! The title also represents the music we want to release on the label. We expect some megablasts coming our way, bring it on!”
