They may be a young label but Holding Hands have already proved they can run with the big dogs. Since launching in 2017, label head and DJ/producer Desert Sound Colony has notched up eight fresh releases, as well as two on his new offshoot Holding Hands Again, which unearths early slept-on tech house gems.

PREMIERE: Adam Pits - Stagga (OCB Remix) [Holding Hands]
