#25 Feat. New Releases in Electro (Classic / Detroit / Modern)

Two years ago, after Covid sent the industry into a tailspin I made the sad decision to stop pressing Holding Hands records to vinyl. This was gutting as the label had been putting records out from the first release and it had always felt like an integral part of the labels identity. It sucked but I always hoped that in the future I would be able to feel confident in pressing records again and I am so happy to say that the time has finally come again! Earth Trax popped into my inbox with some demos and I instantly knew there was something special here. The tracks are absolutely timeless and will do the business on any dancefloor from now until the end of time. The A sides have more of loopy club quality that you could listen to all night. The sort of thing that you just lose yourself to when it comes on in the club. You arent sure exactly when it came on but you suddenly realise that youve been gurning with your eyes closed for some indeterminate amount of time. Basically, theyre very chewy loops (note to self: potential cereal idea). The B sides have more of a.for lack of a better word, B side quality to them. Theyre both broken and they make me want to move my body from side to side in a sort of jagged cool 80s way. Ones to make you move and think at the same time. OK enough of my blather. Go and listen to the damn things yourself and decide if you like them, rather than trying to work it out from reading a bloody press release you weirdos. 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...
