Idealismo – Original Mix
Coming through in lush waves, Keith Holland’s ‘Idealismo‘ struts to its own groove as velvet-laced house stabs rise across some heavy-handed drum programming before colliding against a bubbly bassline. Adding depth, dubbed-out stabs take hold of the piece, leading us down to a first break, where Holland’s creativity is left to rummage unchecked, unleashing a meandering synth out from the left field, infusing ‘Idealismo’ with a most welcomed dash of wonder and tension. As we arrive at its centerpiece, Holland allows the track to deflate completely as anticipation takes over before bringing it all back in for a gripping finale.
Classuda – Original Mix
Flexing its power with consummate aplomb, ‘Classuda‘ showcases a more aggressive nature than its predecessor, treading over a thunderous frame as brass hits and synthetic chords set a true underground tone. Now undoubtedly vibing to ‘Classuda,’ Holland introduces some classic rave-style vocals before unbinding swaying synths and arousing drum arrangements, leading us to another minimalist break. Here, the Brazilian producer works his restrain in absolute flair before letting ‘Classuda’ rip it up once again for an all-out assault on the dancefloors.
