Bigstate Kickstarts 2021 with Funky Tech House hit ‘Hold Fast’

Bigstate is one to look out for this year and his new track ‘Hold Fast’ is the reason why. The Parisian producer’s funky Tech House stylings blend old-school influences together with new-era production. There’s a strong early 90’s House vibe but it’s coupled with modern timbres and creative sound design. The result is a track signing from Tech House top dogs Baikonur Recordings. The Russian record label have given Bigstate their seal of approval, tapping him as an artist to watch in Tech House 2021.

Hold Fast’ is a track that will delight fans who are already familiar with Bigstate. It’s also the perfect introduction for anyone just hearing about him. The infectious beat in ‘Hold Fast‘, together with some atonal elements, sit in contradiction with a happy-go-lucky vintage sample. They jostle for prime position, only for the sample to end up in front. The Melodic House vibe and jubilant vocals would have anyone believe they’re listening to a feel-good banger. However, this illusion is unapologetically shattered by a brutal Tech House groove. It manages to be both organic and industrial at the same time. Closer inspection reveals countless, tiny percussive elements and intricate effects. Bigstate briefly reprises the sample, only for it to be devastated over and over again. It’s just as satisfying every single time.

Baikonur Recordings have picked up on this track’s undeniably catchy flow, flawless execution and funky Tech House vibe. With this (and the support of Piem, Alvaro Smart, Davina Moss and many more) Bigstate deserves a place on your best Tech House 2021 playlist. This genre has experienced a rise in popularity during the last decade and the scene has had to work hard to stay fresh. Derivative music is rife, but the good work of people like Bigstate and Baikonur Recordings is what will make Tech House an enduring art form in the 21st century.
