Premiere: Listen to Tomoki Tamura’s “5ive Years” on Holic Trax
Following on from two huge EPs by Mr G as well a joint effort from Satoshi Tommie & Tuccilo, Holic Traxâs latest arrives from label owner and all-round top producer, Tomoki Tamura. The final installment in the labelâs 5 year anniversary package, HT25 sees Tomoki return to what he does best: producing a slew of deep and banging tracks, each of which comes with its own unique dance floor sensibilities.
Opening up the EP is the sounds of the appropriately named â5ive Yearsâ. A techno workout thatâs notable for its off-kilter motifs and a stubborn, industrial feel, itâs full of glowing vibes that are best suited to the big room. Unforgiving and full of atmosphere, itâs the sign of a producer who clearly knows his way around the mixing deck. âPolyphonic Sixâ displays the producerâs more introspective sound thanks to a melancholic perspective thatâs paired with a fierce kick.
