Toman Makes His Solid Grooves Debut with ‘Verano En NY’
Toman’s had a serious run this year. After launching his own label, High Ceilings, and dropping two standout singles, the Amsterdam-based producer is now stepping up for his first official release on Solid Grooves. And it’s the one everyone’s been asking about. Verano En NY, out June 27, has been floating in ID limbo for months, rinsed in peak-time sets from some of the scene’s most dialed-in selectors. Now it finally gets an official stamp—and it’s exactly what you’d expect from Toman when he’s locked in.
The track fuses his signature percussive minimalism with live-sounding salsa samples and a rolling bassline that doesn’t waste time trying to be clever. It’s a dancefloor record, plain and simple—built to hit the moment cleanly and not overstay its welcome. No tension-and-release gimmicks. No soft intros. Just a track that grabs you and keeps its shape all the way through.
Old-School Flavor, Club-First Execution
Toman’s production style is deceptively simple—tight drum programming, functional mixdowns, and melodic choices that don’t crowd the low end. That approach is on full display here. Verano En NY leans on a reimagined Latin hook from the 70s but filters it through a clean, modern layout that slots perfectly into today’s club sets. It feels classic without being nostalgic for the sake of it, and it doesn’t lean too hard into trend-chasing sounds either.
Solid Grooves has been a magnet for DJs looking to bridge accessibility and function, and this release fits squarely in that pocket. It’s the kind of record that gets played in Ibiza, then makes it to every digital crate before the summer’s over. With the season kicking off in full swing, Verano En NY has all the markers of a go-to: global in flavor, sharp in execution, and light on filler.
This release also sets the tone for what could be a breakout second half of the year for Toman. He’s been hovering in that producer’s-producer tier for a while, but Verano En NY has the reach—and the label muscle—to move things up a gear.
