Mitch DodgeRevered Swedish producers Tobtok and Oliver Nelson keep the music coming thick and fast this summer with another hot release, ‘In Control’. Released via their regular label home Perfect Havoc, ‘In Control’ is a warm filter house cut with disco-tinges and a serene male vocal sample. With sun-drenched and feel good vibes, this is one for the terraces and magical sunset festival moments.
Lifelong friends and studio partners for well over 10 years, Tobtok aka Tobias Karlsson and Oliver Nelson are arguably the biggest music exports to derive from the Swedish city of Uppsala. Since making their mark with a string of nu disco releases and remixes, they’ve gone on to accumulate millions of global streams on singles including ‘Something Bout The Music’ ‘Nothing But A Heartache’ – a modern revival of The Flirtations’ Northern Soul classic for Decca Records – and more recently on Perfect Havoc, the French house inspired, ‘Alright’.
Individually, Tobtok has generated over 600 million streams globally across remixes and productions for Joel Corry, Robin Schulz and Karen Hardingto name a few. His original work includes ‘Fast Car’ – double platinum in Australia – ‘New Levels’ – BBC Radio 1 ‘Tune of the Week’, plus quality signings across Soave and Selected, and a list of supporters that includes Sam Feldt, Sigala, and Tiësto. Things ramp up further for Tobtok this summer with two collaborations dropping with the prolific Norwegian artist CLMD on Future House Music and Loudkult.
Oliver Nelson has also crashed through an impressive stream barrier of over 700 million globally, with high profile remixes for the likes of NEIKED, Ella Henderson, and Donna Summer. The in-demand producer collaborated with chart-topper Kygo on ‘Riding Shotgun’, and his infectious, unofficial bootleg of The Wombats ‘Greek Tragedy’ went viral on TikTok – 8 years after it was made – receiving 1.8 billion views and an official release on 14th Floor Music.
There’s lots more in the pipeline from Perfect Havoc for the rest of the year with tracks landing from Charlie Hedges, Stephani B, T.Matthias and Adam Griffin and more. Now in its 9th year, Perfect Havoc continues to push the envelope of crossover house music and to build on over 10 billion global streams, six UK Top 20 singles and multiple platinum, gold, and silver awards.
