SITEHOLDER UNCUT
Following the success of Siteholder Records, the Chicago based trio of Billy Dalessandro, Brian Ffar, and Daniel Mnookin turn things up a notch with Siteholder UnCut – a digital sub-label currently sold exclusively through Beatport. Featuring the edgier side of techno, one can expect a riskier sound from a wider range of artists (both well known and up and coming) that is bound to please both one’s aural senses as well as a packed dance floor. If Siteholder is any indication of what these Chicago natives have to offer, UnCut will only serve to further establish the label’s foundation of serious beats.

DEAD BY NIGHT EP
The cities of Chicago and Thessaloniki might be on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean, but in terms of cutting edge beats they might as well be next-door neighbors. Thessaloniki’s Dim Dj provides a stunning example with his tripped out number entitled “Dead By Night.” Ruthless bass, heady robotic vibes, and a memorable synth stab all make their mark on this third release for Chicago based sub-label, Siteholder UnCut.
As if the original didn’t do enough damage, UnCut delivers three remarkable remixes from a trio of well-respected studio names.
Following up his stellar “Ballroom Hustler” EP on Siteholder Records, label co-owner Brian Ffar proves that he’s just getting started with this peak time take on Dim’s original. The gloves are off the minute Ffar’s punishing bass kick begins, and it’s 12 rounds of no frills pummeling from start to finish.
Slutbox duo Billy Dalessandro and Daniel Mnookin take to “Dead by Night” with a Forcetracks style offering. Deep bass emerges over a subtly building groove, taking Dim’s synth stabs and giving it a rework. In what has come to be known as the standard Slutbox style, try not to drown in the sweaty filth than engulfs your body on the dance floor.
Finally, San Francisco based [Kontrol] resident Alland Byallo makes his Siteholder debut with his own take on the track. Minimal landscapes meld with the funky low end to complete this highly anticipated Thessaloniki meets Chicago meets San Francisco face-off.
