Toddla T will release his second album, entitled ‘Watch Me Dance’, on 22 Aug via Ninja Tune, it has been announced.

Describing how the musical landscape has changed since the release of his debut album, ‘Skanky Skanky’, through 1965 Records in early 2009, Toddla said: “When I was first signed [to 1965 Records] every kid wanted to be in a band. The Arctic Monkeys, The Libertines and all that were really popular, me and my mates who were into Notorious BIG and dancehall were really in the minority. Nowadays kids want to be Skream and Benga, or Tinchy or N-Dubz and because of that all their points of musical reference have changed”.

As for how he’s progressed as a producer in that time, he added: “I’ve been busiest in the last two years as a DJ, so of course this album has a big dose of the sounds and production techniques that I’m out there representing in the clubs every weekend, but if you’re looking for tops-off jungle or 4×4 bassline tearouts you won’t find them here. This is definitely still a record for clubbers, but it’s the one they’ll listen to at home with their mates or every day on the way to work”.

The album’s tracklist is as follows:

Watch Me Dance (feat Roots Manuva)
Take It Back
Cruise Control
Cherry Picking
Streets So Warm
Badman Flu
Body Good
How Beautiful It Would Be
Lovely Girl
Do It Your Way
Fly
