Alaia & Gallo‘s ‘Lipstick‘ picks up a new lease on life courtesy of Toolroom mainstay Tony Romera, who delivers a remix of the tune, keeping core elements while adding his own, signature touch to it all. The tune is out now via the trailblazing Tech House & House imprint.
The original ‘Lipstick’ turned into one of the bigger club anthems of 2025, the kind of record that kept showing up in sets long after most tracks would have run their course. It picked up support from a wide swath of the house and tech house world, including Carl Cox, Nic Fanciulli, Bob Sinclar, James Hype, Roger Sanchez, Claptone, and Tchami, among others.
With the original already established as a dancefloor weapon, the bar was high for Tony to keep the record moving. But, what do you know, the Spanish producer has built a reputation on tough, groove-driven tech house, and his rework of ‘Lipstick’ fits these same DJs and sets, just like the most tailored glove.
Toolroom has spent years building a catalogue around exactly this kind of record — word-of-mouth club hits which get a second life through remixes from the label’s orbit. Pairing ‘Lipstick’ with Romera fits that pattern, giving DJs another version of a proven track to work into their sets heading into the back half of the year.
