*head off, heart on* is next to go. this ep of our artist juzz contains two brand new tunes, both revealing in depth sight on the producers perception. *i felt a deep urge to get rid of all my conceptual influences regarding the way of creating my music. almost like a purifying force that guided me back to the roots of expressing my emotions through music- says the long time producer and dj. constantly being surrounded by music got me more and more into a repetitive workflow. remembering the freedom and innocence of my first attempts in the studio led to this sole conclusion: turn your head off and your heart on.* and the result speaks for itself: highly emotional music wrapped in functional arrangements, aiming to move your soul. accompanied by two astonishing remixes from markus homm and dreksler & haerle, who both got only one demand: head off, heart on.

vinyl only, limited to 300 copies.

from the two individually revered artists seuil and le loup, comes the debut lp under their collaborative dj/producing alias hold youth. a collection of dance-orientated tracks, designed to make the body move, de la club explores the origins of hold youth’s fundamental influences to their modern day stance.a lp in two parts, the first vinyl is almost a retrospective of primarily state-side club sounds, but also of the pair’s early musical staples. paying homage to old skool production, the inspiration drawn from the detroit greats like moodymann and andres is clear on the funked-out, jazzy vibes of street my baby or the smooth flowing les enfants du soleil. hold youths love affair with head-bobbing hip hop also makes an appearance on the intro and outro, sampling the one and only j dilla, perfectly combined with their own personal beat-boxing. not forgetting their french 90s roots, kool & the boug oozes that warmth defined so well by pepe bradock and trankilou… a club track which has the power of subtlety to submerge the dancefloor that one level deeper. part two looks to the example of german minimal and micro house and brings us up to date with the sounds fresh from hold youth’s record bag today. be it the weird and murky territory of dodge this, or the eerie, glitchy world of black dog, their modern vision of de la club is darker and sturdier in its stature. but it is the ability to weave seamlessly between the lps two halves, two ideals, which truly characterises the hold youth ethos and their signature djing style.
