Holding Hands—the renowned label run by Desert Sound Colony, which has been taking ethereal, ravey breakbeat and dubby techno-bass house into new realms—had been forced to suspend record releases since 2023 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but is now releasing a new 12-inch vinyl record for the first time in about two years!! ! Congratulations on the comeback!
Earth Trax—a project by Warsaw, Poland’s musical genius Bartosz Kruczynski, also known as Ptaki and Pejzaz—makes its debut on Holding Hands with this release, which originated from a demo track submitted to the label!! ! A1 “Amnesia (Dub Mix)” (sample1)—a bleepy, trancey, dubby tech house track at 130 BPM; A2 “Stars”—a progressive, trancey, bouncy track at 135 BPM; and B1 “Someday Soon” (sampld2)—a track steeped in European electro nostalgia at 133 BPM, European electro nostalgia B1 “Someday Soon” (sample 2), and the dazzling, ghetto-bouncy Miami bass breakbeat house B2 “Dislocation Blues” (sample 3) are all delightful. True to Holding Hands’ style, this release features four tracks guaranteed to hit the dance floor hard.
