They gathered beneath the floodlights, their motors lined up in sequential spaces as crowds began to gather for an evening of entertainment. The legitimacy of such an evening might be called into question, yet that hadn’t turned off the onlookers who had been promised an evening of fast paced, high octane entertainment beneath the fog of darkness and clouds of smoke.

They were on the outskirts of the city, fast cars revving their engines furiously, cementing a swagger and a sense of purpose which could not be found in day to day life.

Soon it would be time for the wild machines to step off, blast off and race into the distance. There would only be one winner and some may not return.

LT is one of the UK’s most exciting producers at present, drawing upon influences from IDM, Hardgroove and House music in equal measure. His approach often focusses on the use of deep, emotive pads which are underpinned by fast paced grooves.

GODDEZZ with tenndril - 26 April 2024

Supercontinent EP, named for the ancient geological era when Africa and South America were joined as Pangea.

A reformulation of rhythmic ideas inspired by South African Amapiano and South American Baile Funk governs the two hemispheres of the record. The pair examine and deconstruct dancefloor material, eschewing 4/4 for interlocking shaker patterns, searing acid lines, cracking breakbeats, and vocal samples in Zulu and Brazil Portuguese.

An ascending percussive riff marks the arrival of “Pulgueiro Baile”, followed closely by break beats and the nostalgia of distinctly British acid electro. While pulguero translates as ‘flea market’ there is nothing random to be found; it is an intentionally future-forward retelling of a vintage sound, replete with a mind-melt breakdown of rave pads.

Arriving as the third album on Supreems ‘Sweet Sun’ label – an imprint gathering a reputation for future-facing, storytelling electronic music – Sloucho's 'NPC' explores the duality of his main character and non-playable lives. With a strong Irish artistic presence featuring Rory Sweeney, EMBY, Curtisy and more, Sloucho navigates through Cloudcore-inspired broken beats, bass-driven percussion, alternative dreamscapes and wubby fuck-steps on his most complete release to date, laying the foundation for an origin-story in the process.

Garnering support from Surusinghe, Roza Terenzi, Two Shell and more; some of the tracks on NPC have already been heard in clubs around the world - from Antwerp to London and Mumbai to Paris.

Aarhus’ @salo_cin aka half of Circuit900 makes his solo debut on Flippen Bits with four spectacular drum-driven party starters and an intriguing half time stepper remix by Sobolik.

Salo Cin’s original productions uncannily balance sweaty club vibes respiration and climate controlled big-room aspiration, combining heavy hitting percussion with meticulous sound design.

Opener Alpine Bed kicks off the EP ferociously with wobbling sub basses, vocal chops and a beautifully effected percussion hook.
Clock In keeps the energy up with a psychedelic synth lead, and vocals announcing the beginning and end of the shift, while OKO goes all out with tumbling FX dancing around a solid riddim groove. Free Fall sounds just like the name suggests: a rollercoaster ride of a rhythm track with trippy sound design and precise drums. New York’s Sobolik flips Clock In into a half time stepper in their tripped out Commuter Dub remix with added dub FX and micro melodies.

Slam Jams is always one of the most fun elements of Holding Hands to put together because I get to combine a wide variety of banging slammy jammy vibes from across the board in one place.

This time I’ve got one track from returning peak time maestros not even noticed, one from myself (Desert Sound Colony) and two from label newcomers Mr Jones and DJ Merlín. Each one has a different flavour and it’s fair to say each one slaps harder than a 17th century gentleman brandishing his white glove.
