Albums | Tobtok returns to Perfect Havoc with the mammoth sounding ‘Dreamer’ feat. betty bloom

Posted by VMan on March 11, 2023

Swedish sensation Tobtok delivers his second release of the year with the anthemic ‘Dreamer’
featuring vocals from the in-demand Betty Bloom who delivers a luxurious and dreamy performance
mixed with Tobtok’s powerful production. Having generated over 700 million streams globally and with
a double platinum hit under his belt in Australia with ‘Fast Car’, plus consistent international radio
support, Tobtok continues to evolve showing depths of creativity in this latest release.

Tobtok aka Tobias Karlsson (1million Spotify listeners), remains one of the most talented artists leading
the new wave of Swedish electronic music DJ / producers. His original work, remixes and productions
for Joel Corry, Robin Schulz and Karen Harding to name a few, have been signed to such illustrious
labels as Ministry of Sound, Kitsuné and of course, his home at Perfect Havoc.

Tobtok’s highlight outings include flexing his DJ skills on Toolroom Records’ ‘Miami Poolside’
compilation and the 2020 release ‘New Levels’ which as well as being made ‘Tune of the Week’ on BBC
Radio 1, picked up key DJ support from Sam Feldt, Sigala, Tiësto and many more. Over the past year, his sound has evolved to showcase a more complex, dance floor-ready side to his production which seems to be doing the trick with signings to credible labels such as Selected and Soave.

‘Dreamer’ is the perfect example of the evolving Tobtok sound. The track starts with an ethereal build,
wrapped in Bloom’s vocals with stabbing synths that kick on into a pumping house tune. Fitting of a
deep house set, a progressive house opener, or for big room and festival style stages, this versatile track will no doubt make it into the boxes of a diverse selection of tastemaker DJs.

Joining Tobtok on ‘Dreamer’ is the Glasgow-based vocal powerhouse, Betty Bloom. Bloom’s writing,
creativity, and gorgeous ethereal vocals saw her debut dance release come in collaboration with trance
mainstay, Ummet Ozcan. Since then, the newcomer’s single ‘Satisfy Me’ with Alex Hobson, featured on
the Love Island UK Finale in 2022 and further props came with airplay on Kiss FM. With releases with
Conor Ross and Tom Ferry still to come, Betty Bloom is one to watch.

‘Dreamer’ is yet another creative move for Perfect Havoc, co-founded by Robert Davies and Adam
Griffin in 2016. Shortlisted for Best Independent Record Label at the 2022 Music Week Awards, Perfect
Havoc’s niche of commercial dance with a smattering of the more club-focused sounds has given rise to six UK Top 20 singles including ‘Fake Friends’ by PS1 feat. Alex Hosking, and the No.1 single ‘Head &
Heart’ by Joel Corry & MNEK.

Now having generated over 10 billion streams, the London-based Perfect Havoc is one of the most
consistently successful indies in recent years. Keep an ear out for more releases in 2023 with cuts also
from CHANEY, Freejak, Ben Pearce, Varski and much more lined up.
