Toifoi — Limmat Letup

Share the article

Swiss artist Toifoi continues to chip out his own niche in music today with his latest track "Limmat Letup." Blending hip-hop production of the present day with the lush sounds of jazz of the 1930s–50s, the track is more like an audio time machine. Richly played trumpet gets to take its seat at the forefront, getting itself ensnared in delicate vinyl-scratch textures and easygoing chillhop grooves. It's not a sound that's played — it transports.

True to style, the attention to detail extends beyond the sound. The cover art included with his releases is distinctive for its personality and storytelling. Created by visual artist and photographer Gabriela Lohse, these are not placeholder AI — they're real, handmade scenes with miniature figurines photographed in the middle of a story. It's a subtle but effective visual complement to the richness and atmosphere of the music.

"Limmat Letup" is not merely a song — it's a snapshot of a bygone era, viewed from the perspective of today.
