Erol Alkan - A Hold On Love (Reworks) [Phantasy Sound]

Erol Alkan revisits his debut release a decade on, remixing his landmark ‘A Hold on Love’ into two new versions which are available now via Phantasy.

The two tracks will be pressed to an extremely limited vinyl edition, featuring hand screen-printed sleeves and personally numbered by Erol. Limited to 300 copies!

Having forged a groundbreaking career as a DJ, producer, remixer and collaborator, it was only in 2013 that Erol Alkan released a debut EP, ‘Illumination’, on his Phantasy label. Its brilliant opening track was ‘A Hold On Love’, with brilliant chords that have continued to be a staple of Alkan’s DJ sets over the last decade.

On its tenth anniversary, Alkan presents two subtle yet hugely effective reworks that transport one of the London producer’s most enduring tracks to contrasting dancefloors.

The ‘(dyna-mix)’ finds intoxicating dub cannons and psychedelia amongst nostalgic chords, first road-tested at Houghton Festival and Alkan’s ongoing ‘To The Rhythm’ nights. Meanwhile, the ‘(trip-mix)’ subtly elevates the energy for a more uptempo version, rich in dreaminess but sacrificing none of the detail and musicality that have always been at the heart of Alkan’s still-fertile blend of house, electro, techno and alternative sensibilities.
