Sied van Riel & Natalie Gioia – Hold Me Close

Of late they’ve given us Giuseppe Ottaviani’s deliciously moody techno formation ‘Legacy’, the more celestially mood-some ‘Learning To Live’ from Cold Blue and John O’Callaghan’s moodily-charged ‘Next Stop Muddy Waters’.

So where on the mood spectrum will Subculture land next!?

Well, as it transpires, it’s something of the moodily sung variety, and that arrives today in the quite brilliant form of ‘Hold Me Close’ from Sied van Riel & Natalie Gioia’.

Sied locks ‘Hold Me’s thunder-hearted tone in with scudding drums and a depth of LFO resonance that’ll punch clean through club walls. Also drawn into its maelstrom are dark, echoic FX, scissor-sharp riffs and judicious bursts of distortion, cumulatively blazing the trail for Natalie’s exceptional song.

Laying her emotions bare, she articulates them beautifully and unforgettably into its lyrics – her voice emphasizing each line to bittersweet effect.

Having been a fan of dance music and Armin van Buuren since 2003, I was inspired to start my own electronic music publication with a very simple, and clear goal - to share electronic music with old, and new fans alike. Working alongside a great team has made me keep that goal alive, and build on it.
