Are you old enough to remember life back in the late Eighties/early Nineties? Did you party in London and are you a lover of pure undiluted Underground Soul, Funk, Boogie, Jazz, Classic Rare Groove and House? Then the name TOTO PRODUCTIONS was essential to your way of life. TOTO PRODUCTIONS hall of fame of club events began in the late Eighties in a club in Kensington’s Young’s Street and spread t
o top London clubs including Browns, Hanover Grand, Legends, Crazy Larry’s, The Gardening Club as well as Ministry of Sound where TOTO PRODUCTIONS hosted the Nightmare on Elm’s Street 6, London premier after party. Then followed the Bank Holiday extravaganza Sunday warehouse parties. Held in unique, one-off, warehouses and buildings all over Camden, Old Street, Shoreditch, and Hampstead, Wandsworth and Docklands to list but a few locations. TOTO PRODUCTIONS were also the very first to integrate the Soul underground scene with the House underground scene, in exclusive, one off, multi-floor, warehouse parties; back in the day when every club scene was separate and music integration in clubland had not been invented
TOTO PRODUCTIONS events were legendary in the archives of the Nineties underground warehouse parties and featured the very best DJ’s including Trevor Nelson, Giles Peterson, Norman Jay, Paul Trouble Anderson, Patrick Forge, Brian Norman, Rapattack, Seb Fontaine, Bobby and Steve, Mickey Simms, and Dave Lambert all at their underground best alongside TOTO PRODUCTIONS own, Uncle L, DJ Sammy Totolee, ‘Mark Ubiquity’ Dodge City, Company’s Ray and Cav, Dee Berlin, Dennis Valentine, and Marshall and Webb as well as a list of guest DJ’s too long to mention. Uncle L formed TOTO PRODUCTIONS recording Label and Toto Records and Totolee Underground were launched in 1992 and became the birthplace of artists like Danny J Lewis, Daz I Kue (Bugz in Da Attic), Don Ricardo, Hil St. Soul, Urban Street Soul Orchestra (USSO) and DJ Waterhouse.
