UK independent dance label, Perfect Havoc, isn’t slowing down in 2024. February welcomes a label first as influential electronic Swedish talent, Tobtok, joins forces with NYC native, PS1. In their debut collaboration ‘Drive’ they combine their multi-platinum selling talents into a captivating vocal-led cut, and feature the voice of fast-rising alt-pop star, Georgia Meek.

Tobtok, also known as Tobias Karlsson, with a substantial following of more than 700k monthly Spotify listeners, stands out as a highly skilled artist at the forefront of the Swedish electronic scene. Renowned for his original tracks such as the double platinum ‘Fast Car’, remixes, and collaborations with artists like Joel Corry, Robin Schulz, and Karen Harding, Tobtok has secured deals with prestigious labels such as Ministry of Sound, Soave, Kitsuné, and his home of many years, Perfect Havoc.
Noteworthy achievements include Tobtok’s ‘Miami Poolside’ compilation for Toolroom Records, and the 2020 release ‘New Levels,’ which garnered BBC Radio 1’s ‘Tune of the Week’ and prominent DJ support from Sam Feldt, Sigala, and Tiësto. Tobtok’s evolving sound has embraced a more experimental and dancefloor-oriented production style of late, leading to his 2023 debut EP ‘My Friends’ with farfetch’d, and further signings to the respected Selected label. With over 650m streams to his name, Tobtok continues to innovate in each and every studio production.
PS1, also known as Peter Conigliaro, experienced a remarkable ascent in his music career. His debut single ‘Fake Friends (feat Alex Hosking)’ released by Perfect Havoc in 2020, made history as the sole debut artist release in the UK to secure A-list playlists on Radio 1, KISS, and Capital, and went on to chart at No.19 in the UK Official Charts. This infectious vocal house track set the stage for a series of high-quality singles, including ‘Life Goes On’ featuring Alex Hosking and Goodboys, which achieved BPI Silver status, landed in the Shazam UK Top 5, and amassed over 38 million streams globally. Now with over 62m global streams, PS1 has gone on to collaborate with Mistajam and Digital Farm Animals, and remix for Elton John & Dua Lipa, Nathan Dawe & KSI, and Becky Hill.
British alt-pop singer-songwriter, Georgia Meek burst onto the UK music scene in 2018 with the critically acclaimed single ‘Bare’, quickly amassing a Spotify audience of nearly half a million. Her music, notably featured on Love Island and supported by Radio 1, BBC6 Music, and Radio 1 Xtra, has solidified her place in the industry. Georgia’s performances include Radio 1’s virtual Big Weekend, Liverpool Sound City, The Great Escape, and In It Together. Heading into 2024 off the back of her first UK Headline Tour in late 2023, Meek has also showcased her songwriting prowess, collaborating with notable artists like Punctual, Yoshi Breen, Camden Cox, Ki Fitzgerald, and other prominent names in the industry.
Perfectly encapsulating the hooking qualities of many previous tracks to skyrocket out of Perfect Havoc’s A&R listening sessions into club and radio fame, Tobtok & PS1’s ‘Drive’ is the complete package. Accompanying its foundation of pulsating, dancefloor-focused beats and evocative, uplifting musicality, the addition of Georgia’s vocal topline and cleverly syncopated vox chops bring the whole mix together, culminating in an undeniably memorable and refreshingly up-to-date dance record.
With tracks also coming on Perfect Havoc in 2024 from Ros T, Matthias x Alfie Cridland, Taim and Stephani B, expect a bigger sound and bigger energy than ever before. Now in its 9th year, Perfect Havoc continues to push the envelope of crossover house music and to build on over 10 billion global streams, six UK Top 20 singles and multiple platinum, gold, and silver awards.
