WHAT IS TOY TONICS ?
Toy Tonics is an independent music label and culture crew.
A fluid group of international artists primarily based in Berlin.
Musicians, DJs, producers + graphic designers, photographers, alternative fashion people.
Toy Tonics‘ prime ethos is to create new forms of (dance) music.
We also release limited edition t-shirts, posters and publish the Toy Tonics pocket poster magazine once a year in cooperation with international artists.
And we organise the Toy Tonics Jams to spread the Toy Toniucs sound, style and vibe.
Toy Tonics is all about mixing different styles.
And about positivity, diversity, quality, passion, emotions, knowledge, individualism… and good vibes.
We are a DIY community and little counter cultural movement that connects artists, scenes and people.
