POLE FOLDER - HOLLOW - LA TOUR
Out August 3rd
on 12" & Digital Download
After setting the scene alight with numerous killer singles, Pole Folder releases his hotly anticipated new single ‘Hollow’ with remixes from Robert Babicz and Angel Alanis.
Pole Folder has emerged as an intrinsic part of the emotive dance music juggernaut that has been steadily powering through club land over the course of the last few years… Alongside DJs such as Guy Gerber, Guy J, and James Holden, Pole Folder has been at the forefront of a movement back towards the melody rich sounds on which House music is based. His first 2 releases on label La Tour garnered huge support from the likes of Sasha, Laurent Garnier, Luciano, Carl Cox and Christian Smith.
This offering starts off with Pole Folder’s original, which features the vocals of Sean Ryan, delivering epic slabs of sound, stacked atop glitchy lo-fi drums that result in a listening experience that simply swallows you whole. The vocal – whilst gritty – retains a rich and lush quality that is the perfect overlay to this track.
Robert Babicz is a true techno legend, with releases and remixes on labels such as Phonique, Audiomatique, and Kompakt. Renowned for his graceful and crystal clear productions, Robert’s mix offers a subtly restrained take on the original. Flourishes of synthesis and noise appear and disappear as the track travels patiently through peaks and troughs of intensity. Marrying dark, deep, driving basslines and sweeping orchestral overlays, this remix is perfect for the upcoming summer nights. A dub version is available too.
Chicago DJ Angel Alanis has rised to the challenge and given La Tour a couple of remixes to play with – one ambient; for that post-club or chill-out moment, and one that is more fitting in the likes of DC10 on a Monday (we’ve all been there!)…
Pole Folder is currently locked in his 80hz studio writing his second album " The Helsinki Accord", which is due for release later on this year. The album promises to be an elaborate soundscape, with driving beats, shimmering synths and journey-like qualities, embodying characteristics from all manner of House music.
With his new single ‘Hollow’, Pole Folder has without question delivered a package that is brimming with soul that leaves you doubtless of his sonic capabilities.
