The Swedish duo Svida returns to the label Klap Klap with the ’Hold It EP’. The EP opens with ’Afraid’; a deep, yet powerful track that blurs the lines between house and techno drawing influence from dub with filtering and echoing chords. The title track ’Hold It’ is a classic Klap Klap track. Lending a gentle nod to the Old school, with 909 snare rolls, rim shots and a killer bass-line, ’Hold It’ balances the groove, delicateness and top production that the duo are quickly becoming famous for.
While retaining the drive of the original, ’Afraid pt 2’ adds a haunting melody that creates an unnerving and mesmerising tension in the track. A very powerful track for
the danceloor. ’Drifting’ closes the release with a hypnotic and soulful late-night sound. Percussive elements dance around a glowing synth-line as the track evolves over its 8 minutes run-time, bringing a perfect conclusion to this EP.
