Info for Playdate

While channeling influences from Frank Zappa to J Dilla, they also like to inhale the inspiring global smoke of the hip new jazz scene. Propelled through their live shows by untamed energy, they also get cozy in the studio, where they’ve created a unique style that features ever-surprising guests.

TOYTOY
This Hamburg Musicians Collective delve into a treasure-trove of global experience from the international playground. World-wide tours with acts such as Nils Landgren, Maria Joao, Chet Faker, Fünf Sterne Delux/Das Bo, Flo Mega, JRBB, Matthias Schriefl, Fiva, Urban Academy and Wootton’s Toystory indicate the players' eclectic cartography.
