Nordic Trax releases and has always released music from around the world but remains stubbornly Canadian in essence. Fellow Canadian Jon Delerious returns to Luke McKeehan’s label for Can’t Hold Back, the Calgary native’s five track EP which apparently marks seven EPs in total for Nordic Trax.
The title track snags a line from a well-known soul standard for a glitzy, big-room production that’s practically in hostile opposition to the other 3 originals. “Prism” mines under the walls with a slinky diamond-tipped acid bassline. “Vibes N Dub” is a lo-fi downtempo jazz explosion that would make a solid core for a whole album or EP of similar sounds. Also, pretty dope artwork on this.
