"You Have Not, You've Never Been" is the September 2009 album release from On the Offshore. Singer-songwriter texts, electronic beats, and crafty pop, soul and jazz threads - an album that definitely deserves a few intense listens to fully scope the band's sound. One track from the album is "A Holiday".
James Holden and John Digweed both like to play his tracks - and no wonder:
//POPNONAME's// remix comes with a great, soft-swinging vibe that builds slowly to a trance explosion. It alternates between deep dreamscapes and intense dance-ability - it's your choice.
//JONAS BERING// is a well known resident at Kompakt which released his debut record in 2000.
Jonas Bering's remix tips its hat to vintage electro and immediately communicates a strong dancefloor purpose. The melodic arpeggiators transport his interpretation of A Holiday and drive you irresistibly to the dancefloor.
//DANIELA LA LUZ// started producing electronic music in 2007, and in April 2010 won the Qwartz 6 Electronic Music Award in Paris for innovation in the category dancefloor & clubbing.
Her remix tells the tale of A Holiday. A throbbing beat propels the touching soundscape, seeming to ask if the holiday is not eternal.
Behind //MOMENT MUSIK// are two brothers, both active in different genres, bringing their diverse musical background to play. Their techno-touched remix leads with a straight forward-spinning beat, wide chords and a deeply melodic sub-bass. On the dancefloor this translates to one step back and two steps forward.
//ON THE OFFSHORE// is Lucy Pereira (vocals), Girisha Fernando (bass), Bennie Rademann (guitar), Kilian B¸hler (drums), Deniz Khan (beats craftmanship).
