Some Breaka Tracks

The fourth release is a big one for Holding Hands as they branch out into brand new territory with their first new signing on the label. 
Breaka usually runs in very different circles, producing footwork, juke and DnB from his home in Leeds. These are the first tunes of his at a slower tempo to be released but you can certainly hear those influences loud and clear in these certified UK 125-130bpm bangers.

Desert Sound Colony's Holding Hands imprint taps a collection of buzzing underground artists for the 'Slam Jams Vol.1' compilation EP, featuring London-based artist Breaka laying down a jam true to his name with gripping breaks, chopped vocals and fluttering synth riffs. 

Desert Sound Colony describes the vision behind the new compilation EP: "For release numero 7 I have decided to switch up the format and put out a various artists EP. We’ve got a couple label regulars and a couple fresh faces, each bringing a different vibe but with one overarching theme. The tracks have gotta slam... All four tracks are produced and sculpted for the club. They want big sound systems and dark rooms. Close your eyes, hold hands and experience transcendental space flight..." 

The 'Slam Jams Vol.1' EP, which also features tracks by Yutaro Sugawara, Tape Fear and Guava, is out soon.

Premiere: Breaka 'Get Your Sweat On'

1. Doppler Spectroscopy
2. Convolution
3. Inverted Gravity

@avoidantrecords is a brand new label from Glasgow that debuts with a statement electro release from Berlin innovators CYRK called ‘Doppler Spectroscopy’.

Comprised of Sammy Goossens and Pascal Hetzel, this hardware loving pair are masters of live jam sessions and cross all genre lines with a real and raw sense of energy. Drawing on Detroit’s rich history, the best of electro and playing everywhere from Tokyo’s Womb to Panorama Bar and Epizode festival in Vietnam, they’ve also established their own self-titled label while getting plays from contemporary stars like DJ Stingray, Steffi and Helena Hauff. They now kick-start Avoidant, a Glaswegian imprint rooted in leftfield electro and diverse sonics.

Fantastic and futuristic first track ‘Doppler Spectroscopy’ is a searing electro cut with corrugated bass funk to spare. Molten acid, crisp hits and sustained chords flesh out the groove and make for effective, unforgettable listening. ‘Convolution’ is a busy jam with more electro stylings and freeform synth lines. It’s cinematic and sci-fi, with punchy kicks offset by gorgeous twinkling keys and really tugs at the heart despite the physicality of it all. Closing out a top trio is ‘Inverted Gravity’, a darker electro trip but still with pensive chords and an unpredictable groove.

This bold first release is a fantastic way to kick off what promises to be an interesting new label.

Delsin are pleased to gather together some of the highlights from the rich and varied catalogue of Manchester-based producer Claro Intelecto. From his earliest works on Ai Records through a prolific run on Modern Love to his more recent outings on Delsin, Mark Stewart has continually presented a vision of electronic music that uses the Detroit blueprint as a launch pad for his own distinctive strain of techno. Moving from elegant beauty to rabid intensity while grounded by a firm sense of rhythm, his catalogue runs deep and wide. This expansive compilation filters out select highlights from across his discography, and reframes them as a compelling overview of a truly distinctive voice in modern electronic music.

It felt as though everything had been leading up to this day. Months of preparation, endless check lists and emails threads had turned into a full time job with the nights and days rolling into one. Organisation had been paramount but with something on this scale it was inevitable it couldn't run without at least a small glitch. Or perhaps even a huge glitch. Sure, they could continue to speculate and expect the worst but, whatever happened, the show must go on.

Birmingham-based party space•lab are taking their first steps into the label world with a mission to bring wrigglers and warpers from all corners of the galaxy. They kick things off with an inaugural V/A that rallies together members of the Holding Hands Records family - Desert Sound Colony, Adam Pits and Breaka - as well as Rupert Worthington, Alex Anderson and label boss Dr. Baird, for four tracks that traverse proggy trance, warped acid rollers and crisp breaks. Our pick from Breaka and Adam Pits is a classy breakbeat cut that's name is inspired by the time Dr. Baird reversed a van into a parked car whilst setting up a space•lab party, the party where the three of them met.
