Loco Dice’s SB Recordings closes out the year with ‘One Plus One’, a two-track collaboration between Stuttgart duo Tomi&Kesh and rising Milan-based talent Alessandro Diruggiero. Tomi&Kesh continue to set the tone on the global scene, following multiple Beatport chart-topping releases on leading labels such as Elrow Music, Deeperfect, Kaluki, and their own Nozzo. Landing on 19th December, the EP reunites the Nozzo founders with label regular Diruggiero, marking another collaboration fusing rhythmic power, stripped-back precision, and pure club energy.
Title track ‘One Plus One’ delivers a percussive, tension-building roller, featuring chugging rhythms, sweeping FX, and warped vocal phrases that weave through the mix. On the flip, ‘Less Is More’ shifts into a heavier, bass-driven space, where soft brass tones sound under weighty low-end patterns and hooky vocals, showcasing the trio’s combined ability to create music that is functional, distinctive, and crowd-commanding.
Q: Please introduce yourself
Hello, we are Tomi & Mario from Stuttgart, Germany.
Q: One person you'd dream to have a coffee with?
Mario: I would love to have a coffee with Jim Carrey because he is a funny guy. Tomi: I’d like to have a cup of tea with Craig David, cause he’s my favorite artist (I hate coffee).
Q: If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
Mario: For sure flying, because then I could skip all the waiting time at the airports.
Tomi: Easy one! I would like to be invisible, because I’m very tall and I can never hide!
Q: If you would have been given the chance to do a film score, what movie would you choose and why?
It would be Space Jam because we both love basketball, and we could produce at 130 BPM :))
Q: Who has been the most influential in your music career? And why?
Mario: I guess I have to say it’s Tomi, because he’s sitting next to me and he is tall and strong.
Tomi: Let’s say it was Mario. He’s sitting next to me, and I feel so sorry for him cause he’s looking afraid.
Q: Tell us about your journey, what got you to where you are today?
We started to throw parties in our hometown cause no one wanted to book us there. From then on we got deep into this music and studied sets from the big players, attending lots of parties and festivals and being very passionate about this whole Tech House world. A big factor that helped us to grow internationally are for sure our productions that received a lot of support.
Q: What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone just starting out their career in music?
Stick to your sound, always keep the fun with making music and don’t follow trends.
Q: Can you recall a DJ set or performance of yours that remains unforgettable to you? Where did it take place, and what makes it stand out among all others?
It is 100% a private party that we played in the mountains of Romania. We played there for 17 hours and experienced an energy that we never experienced before. That party was magical!
Q: How has your music style evolved over the years?
Actually, we started 10 years ago with Tech House and stuck to it, but we for sure got more picky and created our own sound within the Tech House genre.
Q: If you were to venture into another music genre, which one would you choose and why?
For sure Hip Hop and R&B! Both of us grew up with black music. You can also hear the influence in our music nowadays.
Q: Could you name 3 tracks that got you into electronic music and why?
Mario: For me, it was 'Play It Loud‘ by Marco Carola that introduced me to the Ibiza sound.
Tomi: 1998, when I was 13, I listened on MTV to Armand Van Helden's 'You Don’t Know Me‘ and it showed me a new world of music. Until today, it’s my favorite track ever.
Q: Can you recommend a hidden gem in your home country that would be perfect for a rave?
There is a TV tower in our hometown with the perfect view. That would be an amazing location.
Q: Could you tell us about your upcoming releases and plans for the year?
We are ending 2025 with our most anticipated release of the year. The 'One Plus One‘ EP will be out December 19th on Loco Dice’s label SB Recordings. We’re playing a couple of shows on Christmas and NYE in Europe, and then we’re heading over to North and South America for a big tour through January and February.
Q: Can you share a fun fact about yourself that most of your listeners are probably unaware of?
People think that we are Germans, but actually our roots are from Croatia.
