โ€œHollenโ€ is a DJ and producer who is certainly on his game right now and has been for quite sometime. We have recently had the pleasure of experiencing more frequently released productions from this Italian power player and the journey continues with yet another.

On this release he has teamed up with the two production brothers of โ€œFabrizio and Matteo Florisโ€ who make up โ€œMr. Bizzโ€. Mr. Bizz are also Italian making this another contribution to the outstanding quality of music that this country is offering right now. โ€œMr. Bizzโ€ is also an act that also tells their own story. They have some fantastic music out there thatโ€™s been pushing the right buttons and hitting the right labels.

Hosting the release is โ€œProspect Recordsโ€ who some of you will know is also โ€œHollenโ€™sโ€ own label. The label I find is very reflective out his own style but not just musically but also in presence of hi quality and from notable modern artists. If you havenโ€™t heard much from โ€œProspect Recordsโ€ then please go check them out and youโ€™ll be treated to features from acts such as โ€œAlberto Ruizโ€, โ€œTony deeโ€, โ€œRaffaele Rizziโ€, โ€œThe Yellow Headsโ€ as well as โ€œHollenโ€ himself.

Getting into the two tracks on this ep with both titles being inspired by two countries mythologies its starts with โ€œJanaโ€. The title โ€œJanaโ€ like the โ€œSardinianโ€ mythology attached to the name is a building vampire esque driven groove from the outset. Itโ€™s quite dark in mood with an embedded padded riser that subtlety adds an affectional quality. Carefully placed vocal snippets are used well and itโ€™s hypnotic with detail.

The next track โ€œParthenopeโ€ which follows Greek mythology and is more of a peak time club exhibit that quickly provides techno pounce with a rounded kick. Atmosphere is created with softer sounds locked into the groove. Thereโ€™s a dynamic break in the middle of the track that builds in anticipation, then right back to the pound of the groove with funky delayed synth parts. Itโ€™s the kind of track that will cross the boarders between the techno listener and the deeper prog and will be shaking many big sound systems.

Synopsis = more impressive action from โ€œHollenโ€ who is proving to be momentous.
