With his debut EP ‘Hold’ still fresh and making waves across the electronic music scene, Vallechi now revisits it, with Hold Re-Imagined taking in remixes from label mate and collaborator GPU Panic, on ‘Emotional Patches’ and newcomer Semoto, on ‘Perception’.

It’s a re-introduction to 2 of Vallechi’s most pivotal tracks to date. GPU Panic says of his Re-Imagine: “Vallechi's Emotional Patches was for me already a perfect moody and intense trip, I’ve really just tried to make it clubbier for those intense moments of the night where bpm's can go wild and you can stretch it a little bit.”

Of his, Semoto says: “When I first heard the song, there was an element that hypnotized me: the rhythm and harmony of the Cs-80 synth. It has such an interesting rhythm, that pushes things forward and makes the song lift you from the ground. The notes and the sound bring a sense of melancholy and tension, even on it’s own when you only listen to it. With my remix, I wanted to take the rhythm of this original synth line and marry it with a breakbeat/bouncy beat, and an omnipresent bass that supports the song and brings balance with long-held notes. Then I explored that initial Cs-80 note pattern with different synths and textures and tried to create an emotional story, with a beginning, an evolution, a climax, and a resolution. To me, it represents moments in life when we start owning our experiences, good or bad, and make them a part of us. Overall, I tried to bring an answer to the elements of melancholy and tension so well evoked by Vallechi on Perception.”
