Finally 18. Finally of age in Germany. Completely independent. Some simply call it “free”. Basically it is just a number. But yet the first deep cut in everyone’s biography. At the age of 18 things appear in a different light. Or get a new, deeper meaning. Even the hitherto senseless suddenly makes sense. And you start to ask yourself if the success of the first hour really was pure coincidence. Or rather predetermined?
Occasionally, not only a human individual but also musical project needs the distance of eighteen years to understand itself. And to mature to true greatness. In this case it’s a trio formed in 1994. Among Techno veterans still well known by their “Holobube” pseudonym. But also young clubbers know about who we talk as soon as the true names are revealed: Toni Rios, Andre Walter and Marco Cannata.
Already with their first vinyl "Earth & Fire" they catapulted themselves into the Dance Olympus: An eleven-minute acid trip, which is one of the milestones on Sven Väth's seminal Harthouse label. Following each member went his own personal way. Toni Rios as a globally celebrated producer and DJ, co-founder of Cocoon Recordings, Cocoon Club resident and owner of the top label Danza Electronica. Marco Cannata’s career led him from legendary club Omen Frankfurt via Ultrasound in Munich to Stammheim in Kassel. Marco also was well represented at all major events between Germany and Brazil and produced about 60 releases with studio partner Peter Haubfleisch as well as DJ Pierre on labels such as PV, Hörspiel or Audio. Third part of the group is André Walter, the production genius in the background. Founder of the influential label Stigmata as well as developer of the dark brute sound of Chris Liebing released on Audio, CLR and CLAU. André is also responsible for club hits and remixes with and for stars such as Monika Kruse, Marshall Jefferson, John Starlight, Tiga, Sven Väth and the White Stripes.
All three not only accompanied the rise of the Techno metropolis Frankfurt / Main. They shaped and brought it forwarded decisively. And now, 18 years later, the former youngsters wanted to know how Holocube would sound if founded in 2012. Unlike 1994, of course. But the greed to produce uncompromising dance sound is still the same.
Lenibelle is one of the best tracks from the album, we are proudly present the new mixes ...
on board are : Toni Rios & Mikel, The Feelings and Nuts Musique
Dimitri Kechagias review: Whenever you see the logo of the techno bible that is the label BluFin you can be rest assured that you get the finest techno music from artists who still keep the underground uncompromising vibes alive. The brand new release comes from Holocube and is called Lanibelle which is the next single from their very successful album. The package of the new remixes will hypnotise you straight away and will show you the way directly in the middle of the dancefloor. Mikel & Toni Rios service a magnificent minimal tech house make over with live like tribal percussion and some cool piano licks here and there that sound old fashion and extremely cool. The vocal is soulful and really sexy so you find yourself singing along easily. Second remix comes from The Feelings. Really deep minimal tech house rework that is really chilled out and relaxing perfect for those sundown moments in the beach club. Favourite remix comes from Nuts Musique who deliver the more upfront driving tech house version with tougher harder drums and really nice spacey effects. It has that Danny Tenaglia sound so I can imagine that USA underground club crowds will appreciate it deeply. Three top remix to update your addiction to Holocube. Love iT!
