Review by Jullyen Matos

Album Review: I-F’s Tool Kit – A Disco Fever Dream from the Netherlands If you’re into electronic music with a disco twist, I-F’s Tool Kit is one of those albums that sneaks up on you like a glitterball spinning just outta reach. Released in 2016 via Panama Records, this Dutch gem feels less like an album and more like a late-night dancefloor confession. It’s got all the makings of a wild night—neon vibes, funky basslines, and edits so sharp they could cut glass. And who’s behind it? None other than I-F (aka Igor Wouters), the guy who basically DJ’d his way into becoming your favorite producer without you even realizing it. Now, let’s get real for a sec. This isn’t some overly polished masterpiece; it’s scrappy, raw, and unapologetically fun. The whole thing screams “party,” but there are two tracks that stick with me like gum on a club floor. First up: "Thriller (The Funk Of 40,000 Years I-F Edit)." Oh man, where do I start? If Michael Jackson decided to moonlight as a disco king after fighting off zombies, this would be the soundtrack. I-F takes the original and gives it a makeover so good it should come with its own runway. There’s something about how the beat builds—it’s like waiting for fireworks on New Year's Eve. You know what’s coming, but when it hits, you still lose your mind. Every time this track comes on, I find myself flailing around my living room like no one’s watching. Spoiler alert: No one ever is. Then there’s "Space Rescue (I-F Re-Work)." This one’s different—it’s not trying to slap you awake; it’s luring you in slow, kinda like being pulled into orbit by alien grooves. The synths shimmer like stars, and the rhythm has this hypnotic pull that makes you feel weightless. Honestly, if Elon Musk wanted to send astronauts chillin’ in zero gravity, he should just blast this track through their helmets. It’s spacey but grounded, futuristic yet nostalgic. Like…how does I-F even do that? What really gets me about this album is how it doesn’t take itself too seriously. These aren’t songs designed for deep introspection or existential dread—they’re here to make you move. But somehow, they also carry this weird emotional undertone. Maybe it’s because disco has always been about escapism, about finding joy even when life feels heavy. Listening to I-F’s Tool Kit, you can almost picture the dim lights of a packed club in Rotterdam, everyone sweating and smiling like nothing else matters. And maybe that’s why this record sticks. In a world full of playlists tailored to algorithms, Tool Kit reminds us that sometimes, music doesn’t need to be perfect—it just needs to make you feel alive. So next time you’re stuck in traffic or zoning out at work, hit play and let I-F remind you that dancing is never optional. Also, random thought: Why don’t more producers use parentheses in their song titles? Feels like a missed opportunity for drama. Just saying.
