Riding off the back of his recent hit with A-Trak, Kideko drops his first solo release on Toolroom, since his huge ‘Soul Searcher’ collab with Wh0 in 2021.
Brighton’s Kideko has spent the past decade refining a sound that sits at the intersection of UK house and bass-heavy club music. His breakout 2015 single, The Jam, was a shot of adrenalized energy, nodding to early ’90s rave while fitting neatly into contemporary dance floors. Follow-ups like Crank It (Woah!), with George Kwali, and Dum Dum, featuring Tinie Tempah and Becky G, showcased a knack for tight, hook-laden grooves. With releases on Ministry of Sound, Spinnin’ Deep, and Toolroom, his productions balance functionality with flair, drawing from garage, funk, and classic house while keeping an eye firmly on the present.
Landing on Toolroom, ‘Holding On’ utilises a famous disco sample, cleverly shifting the vocal hook, upping the pace and working in his own killer bassline and production. ‘Holding On’ is set to be another feel good club weapon, that’s sure to be on repeat this summer.
