Up-and-coming talent Holly North steps in with his debut four-track EP on SVT. Having transitioned from a classical training in music towards the hypermodern potentialities of the club sound, “Chosen Sides” exhibits the young Berlin producer’s constant search for instantly impactful melodies and trance-inducing climaxes.

1. Longing
2. Bridges and Walls
3. Off Piste
4. In my Head
5. Bridges and Walls (Short Edit)

Artist: Holly North
Label: Stil vor Talent
Catalogue No.: SVT304
Release Date: 2021-10-08

A case of outer spatial melancholy, “Longing” starts off as a slo-hatching roller that aims for nothing but the vastness of greater summits. Reeling out in sustained glissandos and cascades of iridescent synth shades, the track guzzles us in a vortex of wistful grace. “Bridges & Walls” calls in further dynamic waves of keyboard jitter and multi-level machine talk, delayed arpeggios and dubbed-out bleeps blazing from the deeper end up to the sleek surface of its vivid synth tapestries with unrestrained ease.

“Off-Piste” moves the cursor back to a more inward-gazing kind of headspace with its dream pop-inherited buildup, unrelenting swing and laid-back pads oozing a most idyllic late summer vibe. Tracing further downbeat motifs onto a wide-screen electronica lay-out, “In My Head” melds the brittleness of piano with the thunderous power of a bassy storm to come, perfect for when the after needs a bit of a groove tightening without jeopardising its smooth, frictionless raison d’être.

Tonelab is the music of Philip Rex, previously of Decoy, Rex'n'Chappo and IMPS. Philip started his musical life working in jazz clubs around Melbourne as a teenager, playing till 1am and then donning his school uniform early the next morning. This quickly blossomed into a professional career that has spanned decades and continents, as one of the most in-demand double bass players in Australia and beyond.

Throughout his teenage years Philip was also experimenting with synthesizers and drum machines, and this eventually led to the formation of Decoy, which sparked off a musical collaboration with Ian Chaplin that would last for 20 years. Together they have played at most major outdoor festivals in Australia and many across Europe, including Vuuv, Glade, Wonderland, Rainbow Serpent, Earthcore, Eclipse and Maitreya, and released albums and tracks on a host of labels throughout the world. 
 Tonelab draws on the experience of this long musical journey. Combining techno and house music with an unmistakable hint of outdoor psychedelia, Tonelab's all-original tunes display a passion for old analogue combined with modern digital instruments, and revel in a love of experimentation, improvisation, beautiful harmonic flavours and melodic textures, all underpinned by grooves that have clearly evolved from the soul of a bass player!   Tonelab’s debut EP was released on Open Records in February 2016, and generated very enthusiastic support from the likes of Kolsch, Cid Inc, Oliver Schories, Kassey Voorn, Darin Epsilon, Sebastian Markiewicz and dozens more. It climbed to no.5 on the Beatport Progressive House release chart, and to no.11 on the Techno release chart. 

Since then Tonelab has had releases on Traum Schallplatten, Evil Flow (the 2nd label of Phobos Records), Electric Power Pole Records, Clubsonica Records Wulpack and Shadow Wulf Records, and has been playing live at local parties with Doesn’t Matter and BIG:RED:BUS crews.

Gregor Klamra is the alter ego of Hamburg and Berlin based musician Felix Weigt.
During his childhood in the nineties, he first got into contact with electronic music by watching eurodance music clips in German television.  Also, synth-driven movie soundtracks caught his attention.

He then went more into acoustic music by learning to play the piano, and after finishing school, he studied upright bass at the conservatory. Since that time, he plays in theater shows, does studio work and live gigs with different artists and is a member of the Indie pop group Die Höchste Eisenbahn. 

Apparently, he never lost connection with his early love to electronic music so that one day, maybe seduced from a long night in a nightclub or at a festival, he started to feel the urge to produce his own version of progressive and melodic house and techno in his spare time. Often more on the downtempo side, he focuses on melancholic chords, long build-ups and catchy melodies. Tied to his flat due to the corona lockdown in spring 2020 he finally found the impulse to finish some of his tracks that in the meantime he released on labels like TRAUM SCHALLPLATTEN, EINMUSIKA, MNL and CINEMATIQUE RECORDS.
