Toddla T’s ‘Watch Me Dance’ Album Launch

@ Corsica Studios Friday August 26

Toddla T’s second album on the legendary Ninja Tune label ‘Watch Me Dance’ is released on August 15th digitally (physical release pushed back to 22nd due to PIAS fire). To celebrate the release, Trouble Vision presents the album launch party at Corsica studios on Friday 26th August.

In ‘Watch Me Dance’ Toddla has created a dubwise, street-soul masterpiece. In a typically precocious reference to records that were made when he was 4 and 10 years old respectively Toddla sums it up. “A bit of the Soul from Soul II Soul Club Classics and a bit of the Left-field from Leftism, I’ve been listening to those now and again, they took in a whole load of club music and made an album that summed something up and were great to listen to at the same time.”

In ensuring ‘Watch Me Dance’ was everything Toddla envisaged it could be he’s carefully selected an impressive line up of friends, peers and musical icons to guest vocal, co-produce, remix, co-write with him on the album. Names including previous collaborator Roots Manuva, fellow DJ, producer and remixer Skream, Ms Dynamite, Ross Orton, Wayne Marshall, Donaeo, Roisin Murphy and Shola Ama.

For the launch Toddla enlists some of fellow cohorts from the album to help get the party started
