NECH 026EP
|
Lee Holman's NECH026, marks his return to NECHTO, following his 2022 EP on Nastia's imprint. With an uncompromising underground ethos, Holman has built a solid international reputation through his distinctive techno sound. His performances as a live act and DJ have taken him to prestigious venues like TRESOR Berlin, Khidi Tbilisi, and Corsica Studios London. Known for his vast record collection and dynamic performances, Holman's productions have earned international acclaim. This EP evolved organically, with three of the five tracks being part of Holman's live shows for NECHTO events. The lead track, "Wave upon Wave," was recorded live after an event in Kyiv, while the other two were from a session at Khidi Tbilisi. Holman initially did not plan to release these tracks, keeping his live performances unique for each night. The bonus track, "It's Not Over," features a beautiful vocal piece and soulful techno accompaniment. Inspired by nature, particularly the sea surrounding his island home, Holman channels this inspiration into his music. The five tracks of Dialing Thoughts reflect his signature deep, raw, and energetic techno sound.

NECH 020EP
|
Nastia presents Lee Holman's latest EP on her rising record label NECHTO. As an artist whose music is firmly rooted in techno, Lee is not shy of mixing the broad range of sounds the genre presents. When taking his machines on an auditory journey, the music producer strongly depends on his inner self and aims to stir a range of feelings through his work. With a focus on the dancefloor in terms of its rhythm, the NECH020 EP released via NECHTO, delves into the theme of the cosmos. The experience one has on the dancefloor is set side by side with a dreamlike voyage through the infinite galaxy. The EP also includes a vocoder -- the first time the artist has used such an element in his music production. In terms of the process, completing the EP took 18 months of hard and diligent work. "I had to dig very deep working on this EP. I made so many tracks throughout the process to arrive at something that worked for the label, Nastia and myself," says Lee. "I worked night and day and in between, while out of the studio, listened back to my day's work over and over, finding the small details and making mental notes on what to target for my next studio session. It was a process."

FER 202EP
|
"Lee Holman has been buying records since he first got into house and techno via hip-hop when growing up in the south-east of Ireland. This release includes 4 tracks of pure Detroit-tinged deepness. Side A begins with 'Alpha' which is the epitome of sexy deep techno. Lush strings float over a solid groove which is sure to move any dancefloor. Next up is 'Bravo,' which is a sort of jazz fusion techno jam like only Ferox knows how to do. It utilizes a super hot bass line and synth stabs that just bring the entire track together. 'Charlie' opens up the B-side of this release, and to call it amazing is a little bit of an understatement. Incredible beat programming takes the listener back to early Detroit, while the synth and effects work locks it in ahead of the curve in regards to the current trends in techno. Rounding out the package is a track called 'Delta.' With this track and the entire release, Lee has figured out the key to making a proper techno hit. A bit borrowed from the past with an eye on the future guarantee that this one is going to be an instant classic and one you'll find in all the top DJs' crates."
