Sales Information:
The Holic Trax label has released a wealth of well-formed house and techno from the likes of Mr.G, Rick Wade and Tuccillo before now, and on April 30th the label offers up its second compilation. Put together by label boss Tomoki Tamura, the selection features a range of artists old and new and will be released on two slabs of vinyl as well as digitally, with an extra bonus track. Tomoki is probably one of the most successful Japanese DJs in the world having held down residencies at places like The End as well as running his own Holic events, and now proves he also has a great ear for A&R with the tracks he pulls together here. First up is MOME aka Bertrand Lacroix, a big collector of phonographs who owns a lot of 78RPM American Jazz records. His The Good The Big The Bad is firmly rooted to the ground with its big air kicks and grinding drums.
