[Siteholder UnCut] Donk Boys - Hold Me Tight

[Brian Ffar]

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 that initially established the roots for modern day tech house and minimal techno, 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 the electronic music global community, UnCut will only serve to further establish a well rounded foundation of serious beats combined with heady intoxication.

HOLD ME TIGHT
Unable to resist the temptation to “put a donk on it,” Siteholder UnCut teams up with Swedish duo Donk Boys again for their second release on the Chicago based digital label. And “put a donk on it” they do, delivering two fresh, funky, and ferocious tunes.

“Hold Me Tight” and “Sharpening The Knives” are not “at home listening.” They are indisputably intended for nightclubs, and more specifically the dance floor - showcasing mind-melting tweaks that have become synonymous with the Donk Boy’s sound. Coming off of spectacular releases on highly respected labels Dirtybird, Frankie, and Trapez, the timing couldn’t be better for a Donk/Siteholder reunion.

Slutbox duo Billy Dalessandro and Daniel Mnookin return from a brief hiatus to leave their mark on UnCut’s 25th release. Coming off of “Backseat Driver” (which made its way onto Marco Carola’s Time Warp Compilation), the pair churn out an extended remix of “Hold Me Tight” that clocks in at just over 10 minutes and was recorded live in one take.

Donk Boys, Slutbox, and Siteholder…did somebody say threesome?

Donk Boys – Hold Me Tight EP (SHUC025) FEEDBACK:

Acid Circus (Droid Behavior) – “Always love the Donk Boys’ stuff, sh!t I just played one of their tracks last night! Diggin’ all the mixes on this one. ‘Hold Me Tight’ is good, the old school synth is cool, a little goofy, but overall the track is fun, will get the crowd movin’. The cut of choice is ‘Sharpening The Knives,’ fat zaps, nagging synths, and a catchy vocal…will play all of them.”

Alland Byallo ([Kontrol] / Liebe*Detail / Nightlight Music) – “Slutbox remix, ‘nuff said. Red Sea techno, don't you forget that sh!t. ‘Sharpening The Knives’ is damn solid too. I'm gonna play that one when I'm well pissed off and hangin’ with my boy Jameson.
