A landmark in the young (but brilliant) musical output of Cody Currie is dropping in a few weeks via Toy Tonics. The german imprint has been releasing a lot of Currie’s works but this time the London-born, Berlin-based, producer takes us on a long and tasty trip through 14 new tracks. Lucas represents not only his most complete project, but is also the best artistic expression in his discography. Gliding from disco to jazz, house and funk and featuring key collaborations from the likes of Jitwam, Eliza Rose, Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange & his close friends, this is one of the essential albums from 2022.

This debut album, like his EPs, represents the new essence of jazz burgeoning out of London’s youth scene of today. On Lucas, Cody doesn't use any samples, only live instruments, vocals and great chord combinations, a nod towards his music school studies in London before moving over to Berlin. Like most of the other artists on Toy Tonics and similar to Kapote (the label head), Cody comes from playing jazz piano and playing in bands and combines this real musician’s attitude and knowledge with his skills as an electronic producer and extremely talented DJ/selector.

This combination of background and skills create that unique sound that Cody has. A sound that can be understood in bass progressions, the way some shakers shake, or in the mesmerizing vocals that give a dreamy feeling to his productions. Soon to be available on vinyl, with the qualité stamp from Toy Tonics on it, we’re delighted to wait for this one with you.
