“…Hieronymus is turning out to be one of the key modern dub interpreters, with enough knowledge about historic styles while still moving relentlessly forward.” –
Steve Barker / November 2014 issue of The Wire

ZamZam #24 is our third release featuring Copenhagen’s brilliant Hieronymus, and his first on a solo expedition.  Deep 80-90 bpm nod-factor dubwise is the mission, and Hieronymus powers up the jeep for a journey through ancient plateaus and dry Martian river valleys that you won’t want to end.

Hieronymus’ solo works inhabit their own sonic realm and play by their own rules.  As home with rub-a-dub and 80s digital as he is with roots dub and dub techno, Hieronymus brings his strong personal aesthetic to each and every track, never losing himself or his vision in this arcade of musical touchstones.

Haunting melodies, crushing rhythms, intense frequency control & spacial awareness,  and a deep preoccupation with nearly-tactile textures characterize his utterly unique take on classic dub principles.  Analog processes layer hiss and grit over and through spectral sonics that sound like they came straight from another dimension.  Timeless, original music from a modern master.

Limited vinyl – 700 copies for the world – two color screen print – 
No repress – No digital - Realeased: end of November, 2014

Break Down (CLIP)

The latest installment of the Hold Tight Records digital catalogue comes courtesy of Ickle, a core Hold Tight family member and exciting up and coming DJ, producer and engineer. Ickle bring us two roots inspired tracks alongside the vocal talents of Dee Gomez and Indra MC.

The opening track from the EP ‘The Most High’ is a perfect example of Ickle’s energetic and hypnotising signature sound. A backbone of roots drums and a rolling bassline accompanies piano skanks and organ licks, with Dee Gomez providing euphoric and catchy lead vocals that go hand in hand with Ickle’s dubbed out style. 

The second track ‘Eye For An Eye’ is one for the sound systems. Incorporating heavyweight rolling percussion alongside stomach churning low end and ethereal sound effects, this one is a must for any selector. Indra MC compliments this with his signature style, hypnotic and melodic vocals accentuating a conscious subject matter.

HTD004 takes inspiration from the roots of UK sound system culture, whilst representing the Hold Tight ethos: presenting new sounds that draw heavy influence from the music’s history.

- Composed and produced by Ciaran Maxwell a.k.a Ickle
- Vocals written and performed by Dee Gomez, Osian Nickson a.k.a Indra MC
- Artwork by Lana Elworthy
- Mixed and mastered by Kreed

Ickle - The Most High Ft. Dee Gomez

This young producer has been taking the UK bass music scene by storm, and we are very excited to see him mark his next bit of work at Hold Tight Records. This four track EP incorporates Muttley’s signature sound of dubstep/grime along with a solid roots and dub influence. 

Weve thrown in a  cheeky 160 remix of thelma & Louise by Ickle aswell for good measure, paying homage to the rave culture we all love

Muttley - Thelma & Louise (Ickle Remix)

Following a string of quality releases last year, HTD008 comes courtesy of panix the talented Producer and DJ currently making waves across the UK underground, whether that be from his unmistakably dubstep sound paying homage to the old style of sound, with big melodies and low sub tones, dont be mistaken however this release has something slightly different for the listener. 

This young producer has been making music for nearly a decade but we feel like 2021 is his year as we will se loads more music on our label from panix. We are very excited to see him mark his next bit of work here at Hold Tight Records. This four track EP incorporates a slightly diffrent side to panix’s signature sound of classic dubstep but as always here at hold tight, it hits along with a solid roots and dub influence. Working also with samples and a sound pallete from that scene, we have a project that would bus up any soundsystem dance they get dropped in.... 

Alongside these three signature tracks, Inner echo boys have done a awesome job of vibing up their favorite track of the ep with a huge remix of 'Bun it'
