A new Toy Tonics EP. It's the second by Venezuelan house DJ and producer Gee Lane. Including amazing remixes by NYC mainstay musclecars! Gee Lane's debut EP Metamorphosis came out in 2023. But as Virginie (her real name) is a steady name of true Toy Tonics crew now and plays almost every weekend at one of the worldwide Toy Tonics Jams it makes sense to put out a follow up fast. Gee Lane originally from Caracas now in Barcelona is a passionate DJ and vinyl digger with an extraordinary positive energy and attitude. A DJ diva in a positive way. A unique personality with a very strong style (in music but also as a person) and very elaborated ability to read and play with the dancers. Like the first EP also this one was recorded in Barcelona and Berlin with a little help by Robin Braum from Athlete Whippet. The music reflects well her roots and passion for everything that came out from New York's dance culture. You can hear influences from the '80s promo disco scenes as well as the 1990 Body & Soul/Francois Kervorkian/Joe Claussell universe. In fact, Gee Lane, after being raised in Caracas and musically educated by her father from a very early age (a composer and musician), moved to New York in the late 90's where she fell in love with the house scene. And especially everything that happened at the famous and influential Body & Soul club. This culture increased her curiosity to become a DJ (and vinyl digger herself) who is not just interested in house music but wants to explore other genres such as funk, hip-hop, jazz and Latin sounds and include these vibes into her DJ sets. A vinyl collector (and long-time record shop employee) since then, she is known for her musical eclecticism that leads her to mix everything what she wants.
