Holden Federico - New Yorker updates the funk and grit of techno’s formative era + Track Premiere

One foot in the nineties and another in the future, New Yorker Holden Federico’s music updates the funk and grit of techno’s formative era for modern dance floors.

The four tracks of Holden Federico on Inner Order, his second EP for the SK11X series, squeeze maximum power out of few elements, with peak-time cuts presented on the A-side and his deeper work on the flip. Heavily road tested in label boss Setaoc Mass’ DJ sets, this EP is proven to do business on a big stage, while still paying tribute to techno’s musical roots.

纽约人Holden Federico的音乐将Techno形成时期的放克和砂砾更新到现代舞池中。他为SK11X系列制作的第二张EP《Inner Order》中的四首歌曲,从少数元素中挤出了最大的能量,A面是高峰期的剪辑,而他更深层次的作品则在翻面。这张EP在唱片公司老板Setaoc Mass的DJ套装中进行了大量的测试,证明了它在大舞台上的表现,同时还向Techno的音乐根源致敬。

Holden Federico speaks “In making this EP, it was important for me to evolve my sound by stripping things away—getting back to only the most essential elements. Trying to do more with less. There’s a yearning yet austere quality to my favorite older records. I was aiming to bring that emotional quality to the foreground and reimagine it for today’s dance floor.”

“在制作这张EP时,对我来说,重要的是通过剥离东西来发展我的声音–只回到最基本的元素上。试图用更少的钱做更多的事。我最喜欢的老唱片有一种渴望而朴素的品质。我的目标是把这种情感品质带到前台,为今天的舞池重新想象。
