Exponential decay

Hold and sample is a side project of ITEM where he explores a harsher and faster sound. Partly inspired by the Detroit techno second wave and the Detroit-Berlin connection that followed.

01 Hold And Sample – Re - Entry

ITEM returns to Petite Victory Collective with 'Easterlies' EP. 

A frequent PVC collaborator, the Copenhagen based producer releases a follow up to the 2022 'Spindrift' EP. 

Back in dub techno territory, the five-tracks opus explores dark sonic landscapes. Expect pulsating drones and thick synth textures driven by a relentless 4/4 kick.

In June of 2024, Krostif suggested to ITEM a collaboration. The initial idea was to use the Digitone, a versatile FM synth that both artists own. The concept was to provide melodic loops for the other to use as a starting point and build upon.

After a few month, a good dose of inspiration and a couple of iterations, the result is more than the sum of it's parts. EQ EP features two atmospheric dub techno tracks, blending the styles of both artists.
