Tom Tyger, Charles B & VCTRY Get Funky With UK Garage Inspired House Track “One Too Many”
Protocol Recordings is throwing it back to the old school with a brand new UK Garage-inspired House track by veteran Tom Tyger and label newcomers Charles B & VCTRY. Delivering a classic 4/4 percussive bassline paired with funky topline instrumentals and a catchy, pitch-shifted vocal hook, “One Too Many” will transport listeners back to the days of bare-bones warehouse parties, where UK garage rooms were the most sought-after places to dance to artists like Disclosure and their contemporaries. Tyger has been a longtime member of the Protocol family with tracks such as his hits “Rave Me” with FaderX as well as “C’est La Vibe” with Raiden, while the newly combined forces Charles B & VCTRY are making their debut with the release of “One Too Many.” The track’s seldom-heard sound is a welcome addition to the Protocol arsenal, proving once again that Nicky Romero and his crew are constantly challenging the way we think about and listen to modern dance music. Take a listen to “One Too Many” – and be ready to let your dancing shoes loose in the club.

From lighting up the stage at Protocol’s yearly showcases at the Amsterdam Dance Event and Miami Music Week to watching his collaboration “Rave Me” with FaderX amass over 1.4 million streams, Tom Tyger has had nothing short of an exciting year. The French DJ and producer has been a familiar face on the label since early on in his career and quickly gained the attention of industry heavyweight such as Avicii, Martin Garrix, Axwell /\ Ingrosso, and Protocol boss Nicky Romero. In addition to Protocol, Tyger’s tracks have been released on Spinnin’ Records, Kryder’s Sosumi, Laidback Luke’s Mixmash, Flamingo Recordings and Armada Music. His high-energy, dynamic productions have led to official remixes for Nicky Romero & Florian Picasso and Shapov & Trouze, while he uses his talents to raise up newer artists like Charles B & VCTRY. The duo has been steadily making waves with their funky house style, including their recent track “Feeling This.” As new members of Protocol, we can’t wait to see where these two are headed. Look out for new music from both Tyger and Charles B & VCTRY coming soon!

Super producer duo – The Funk Hunters and forward-thinking LA-based producer Dr. Fresch team up with legendary Chicago’s rapper Chali 2na for their new single “All Of A Sudden,” a unique blend of mid-tempo Bass and Rap music, following both artists’ Summer releases – The Funk Hunters’ “Freak” with Defunk and Dr. Fresch’s “Certified.”
Opening with Chali 2na’s rhythmic vocals, “All Of A Sudden” wastes no time turning up the heat with deep basslines and menacing, synth-driven melodies. Its grimy breakdown and combination of urban and bass styles make for a hard-hitting, festival and club-friendly anthem that’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Read on for what all of the artists had to say about this exciting new release.
“We’ve been playing and making mid-tempo bass music before it even had a name, so to come across Dr. Fresch’s music years ago and discover he also loves mid-tempo… Well, it was love at first listen, ha! So, for our first official collab together, we just knew it needed to be a mid-tempo tune. As soon we had the beat done, there was really no other choice for vocals. We sent it straight to Chali 2na, and the rest is history. He delivered in a big way! It’s really such a cool blend of all 3 of our styles, funky fresch and bangin'” — The Funk Hunters
“..and ‘All Of A Sudden’ – we’re dropping the biggest mid-tempo banger of 2023! I’ve been a fan of The Funk Hunters and Chali 2na for years; this song is a major moment for me. It’s been a pleasure to get to know Nick and Dunks from touring the US and Canada over the course of the last several years- it was only time before we convened to create a funky fresch concoction. This collab was so fun and exciting to make. It’s the perfect blend of all our styles, and maybe most importantly, it feels like a genuine soundtrack to the live festival atmospheres we thrive in. It’s been a ride playing and working on this record for the last year. I’m so proud that we can finally unleash the beast.” — Dr. Fresch
“I’m always excited to work with Nick Middleton and Duncan Smith from the notorious The Funk Hunters, but to add the legendary Dr. Fresch to my résumé was an honor and a pleasure! Especially with such an aggressively fire song like ‘All Of A Sudden.’ Thank you, fellas!” — Chali 2na
