Left-field disco and wonky house that feels like a hazy night out in London. Warm analog synths meet a slacker-cool attitude for late-night grooves.
Mock & Toof occupy the strange, beautiful intersection of dancefloor utility and bedroom introspection. Their sound is defined by a 'slacker' aesthetic that never feels lazy, just perfectly relaxed. It is music that understands the history of disco and house but chooses to view it through a slightly distorted, smoky lens. You'll hear the warmth of vintage gear and the grit of tape saturation, creating a sonic environment that feels lived-in and authentic.
What truly sets them apart is their ability to make electronic music feel human and idiosyncratic. Instead of the sterile precision of modern EDM, they embrace wonky synth melodies, off-kilter percussion, and vocals that sound like they are being whispered from the next room. It is a sound that fits just as well in a boutique basement club as it does in a pair of high-end headphones during a late-night commute.
Start with 'Tuning Echoes' to hear their most cohesive statement. It captures their transition from clever remixers to masters of the 'electronic song,' blending their signature dubby textures with guest vocals that add a haunting, pop-adjacent accessibility to their experimental foundations.
