What started as a small underground gathering has become a full blown cultural force. The crews Toy Tonics Jams, vibrant, phone-free parties steeped in good-vibes house and Y2K optimism, have pulled nearly 350,000 dancers across 440 events in 20 countries. These are not parties driven by algorithms or hype cycles; they are gatherings for art students, designers, young creatives and DIY fashion kids, a community drawn as much to visuals and vibe as to the music itself.

Toy Tonics’ prime ethos is to create new forms of (dance) music. Combining new house music with indie dance and organic sounds. Neo Soul meets the 4 to the flow beat. Real musicians produce dance tracks. Musicians with skills as songwriters, guitars, bass, key bards meet electronic music producers trying to develop new types of positive and emotional dance music that includes also vocals and strong hook lines and that can also be listened to at home.

Toy Tonics Jams are created around the world to spread the Toy Tonics sound, style and vibe. A DIY community and countercultural movement that connects artists, scenes, people and different styles! Toy Tonics is all about positivity, passion, emotions, knowledge, individualism, diversity, quality, and GOOD VIBES.
