It sounds like Pete Lawlor aka Cork-based producer Replete has been working hard at his craft. Last year’s ‘Never This Way’ was the sound of the Kilkenny man go deep.
New track ‘Hold Me’ digs equally deep in its rhythm and allows some subtle breathing synths, lurching piano-house, vocal samples and digital bass to walk about the haunting club composition. It’s the lead track from the Hold Me EP, which comes out on Belfast’s Champion Sound on March 4th.
