The single
HOTMESS. One record, passed through the residents' hands.
RAW001: Paul King ft Stewart Who?, out on RAW CONVICT RECORDS, 23 May 2025. Then the remix run: Tony English took it deep, Jon Hemming took it hard, and Stephen Nicholls & Nik Denton pushed it through the Toolbox lens. Every version is on Beatport and SoundCloud and plays on the station.
It is the first record with the brand's name on it, made by the people who play our nights. That is the whole label in one sleeve.
Every version, on the label site SoundCloud

Toolbox House
Every Friday at 5PM, in association with Toolbox House.
Weekend Takeoff is Nik Denton's show, made in association with Toolbox House: two hours of house and tech house every Friday from 5PM, on air since 14 August, with tracks from his own imprint beside the freshest dancefloor records. Nik founded Toolbox in Manchester in 2001, and twenty-five years on it is still shipping. New Toolbox House drops go out on the show the moment they land; Tony English's "Dancin' In The Dark" played on the show a fortnight before release. Nik and Paul King have made records together as Overload since 2000; Spacehopper is the latest.
Toolbox is the oldest label on the station and the proof that HOTMESS RADIO is built with the people who built the scene, not around them.
