Toys For Boys presents the first collaboration between Italian producers Franco Cazzola and Titta, the Destination Unknown EP, three summery tracks that bring old-school house vibes into the future. Cazzola made his production debut last year with the label he co-founded, Carnival Records, and what was both his and the label's first 12" made it to the ears of Sven Väth who included one track on his Sound of the 10th Season double mix CD. Now Cazzola has teamed up with producer Titta (real name: Giovanni Battista Bogatto), who aside from co-founding netlabel Tonimusic with Hugo, is also an audio designer and soundtrack composer. So you know that something special is in store with their debut partnership!

"Destination Unknown" is the ideal house track for endless summers, best experienced dancing on a beach with a mojito spilling from your hand. The propulsive percussion is balanced by subtle vocals, extended atmospheric washes and tides of melody that ebb and flow. And a sprig of mint leaf and a twist of lime. The track's uplifting vibe stays with you long after the track's eight minutes end, much like the sand lingering in your crotch! Next, Cazzola & Titta offer "Memento", whose clattering rhythm and funky loops are reminiscent of the Dance Mania label's better moments. And to find a balance between the first track's smoothness and the second track's chaos, the duo closes out the EP with "Waiting for Xing Wang", built around an angelic choir of "ooh"s and space-invader sound effects. While Cazzola & Titta might not know their destination, it's clear that they are off to a solid start with these wild studio concoctions!
