Fat Tony ft Raven in The Lab LDN
Fat Tony, a legend in his own right, brings vocal house queen Raven along for this Lab LDN session, and the result is a joyous, celebratory throwdown of classic vocals and modern grooves. This is the sound of a crowded dancefloor with hands in the air, a shared moment of pure, uncynical release. The vibe is upbeat, communal, and drenched in the warm glow of recognition. Operating at a consistent 125 BPM and weaving through keys like 12A and 3B, this set balances musicality with rhythm. The energy is more evenly distributed than deep house (57% low, 26% mid, 16% high), allowing Raven's powerful vocals and those iconic piano lines to soar over a solid, chugging foundation.
Fat Tony's mixing is celebratory and crowd-pleasing, using long blends to let anthems breathe and build. The track picks are a vocal house enthusiast's dream. Samim's 'Heater (Tube & Berger Remix)' opens with its unmistakable, whistling hook. The dual versions of Raze's 'Break 4 Love' are a loving tribute to a timeless anthem. Alter Breed's 'No Rush (Jerome Isma-Ae Remix)' and Elio Riso & Lucio Spain's 'Breaking Minds' provide driving, contemporary tech-house backdrops.
Angel Stoxx's 'Breadholes (Stefano Kosa Remix)' and Demarkus Lewis's 'Body Tonic' offer deeper, groovier moments. Luca Morris & Mozzy Rekorder's edit of 'Gypsy Woman' is the kind of peak-time singalong that defines a night. The journey is all about the vocals: starting with the whistle of 'Heater,' reaching a collective euphoria with 'Break 4 Love,' and closing on the deep, rolling bass of Jansons' 'Messan.'.
