TONE DEF — Can You Feel It / On The Attack

Tone Def – Can you feel it / On the attack Vinyl Fanatiks presents the VFS007RP 12-inch release, a fresh repress of the 2019 Holy Quattro EP. The record revisits the duo’s hard-edged blend of hardcore, beats techno, break-beat techno and jungle techno, offering two tracks that have become reference points for the label’s kinetic aesthetic. Within the Vinyl Fanatiks catalogue, VFS007RP arrives alongside a trio of Dave Charlesworth-related projects that share the same release day: Midi Magic’s “Calm Before The Storm / Fantasia” (VFS092) and Edge Of Darkness’ “H20 / Float On Rhythms” (VFS091Y). Earlier in the year the label issued Fourth Dimension’s “Wonderland / Infection” (VFS091) and The Pharmacist’s “Dark Matter EP” (VFS091X), as well as a series of Ellis Dee productions (VFS004RP, VFS005RP, VF0S89X, VF0S89Y). This situates the Tone Def repress among a busy schedule of high-energy releases that push the label’s techno-hardcore frontier. Side A opens with “Can Your Feel It”, a track that channels the original 2019 vibe while tightening its groove for contemporary decks. Its driving rhythm and relentless momentum make it a natural bridge from the opening bar to the more aggressive B-side. The title hints at the physical response the track elicits, and its placement at the start of the record underscores its role as a floor-filler that can be layered into the peak of a set. Flipping the disc, “On The Attack” delivers a darker, more abrasive counterpoint. The B-side’s relentless pulse and jagged break-beat patterns heighten the tension introduced on A-side, providing DJs with a powerful tool for transitioning into the darker phases of a set. Its compact structure makes it suitable for quick inserts or extended mixes, reinforcing the release’s utility for both peak-time and after-hours programming. For Tone Def, this repress follows a string of Vinyl Fanatiks outings that trace a clear evolution in the artist’s output. Earlier releases include the 2025 “Admission/The Haunting” (VFS062) and the 2024 “Projection Demo’s EP” (VFS044), each exploring different facets of the label’s hard-driven sound. The 2024 7-inch “Can You Feel It/On The Attack” (VFS45-004) first introduced these two tracks, while the “Acid Masters EP” on Acid Boom (BOOM001) highlighted the producer’s affinity for acid-toned textures. The current 12-inch version expands the original material, offering a broader canvas for DJs and collectors alike. From a collector’s perspective, the record’s black vinyl pressing distinguishes it from the original limited yellow run of 250 copies, providing a fresh aesthetic while preserving the original sonic intent. The limited run of 150 units adds a layer of rarity that will appeal to those tracking Vinyl Fanatiks’ hard-core catalogues. For DJs, the two tracks deliver contrasting yet complementary energies: the A-side’s forward-driving momentum and the B-side’s darker, attack-focused drive make the release a versatile addition to any techno-hardcore set. The release is issued as a 12-inch vinyl, featuring the label’s signature black stock. The format offers ample groove space for the deep low end and punchy highs that define Tone Def’s production style, ensuring the record translates well from the needle to the dancefloor.
