His self-titled debut album put ASCII.DISKO (aka Daniel Holc) on the international map of well reputed Electro producers. Released in 2003 on L’AGE D’OR, the album received raving reviews and scored “Album of the Month” in UK‘s DJ Magazine. ASCII.DISKO, either live or as a DJ, creates a rough but steady mix of Electro, Wave, Techno, Pop and Rock. In the summer of 2004 the Hamburg native moved to Madrid, where he continues to live and work. After almost 3 years since his debut, his new album ALIAS was released in 2006 on LADOMAT 2000.
ASCII.DISKO is a personal platform that uses an ALIAS to create a direct route to the dance-floor, where all emotions are unloaded. It contradicts an „all-too-clean“ world and crashes directly into freedom, passion and indulgence. This music is straight down the line which is exactly what it wants, yet it is never indifferent. Constantly creating Rave moments, at times dirty, at times diffused, at other times somewhat more minimal but extremely catchy, or sounding infected by the bleep-Sound – extremely funky. ASCII.DISKO connects his background and the status quo of his artistic achievements with the drive of today’s clubbers towards escapism, to collective exuberance, to rave.
The new single features HEY, one of the keytracks from the ALIAS album. But the ASCII.DISKO 2007 REMAKE gets rid of all the fake-guitar synthie-walls and strips the track down to a highly seductive Electro-House burner. In the MOONBOOTICA REMIX on the flipside HEY undergoes the special Moonbootica treatment. The two Moonbootique labelheads add a healthy portion of creaking and tweak the tune into a monstrous dancefloor killer.
Tracklisting:
A Hey (Ascii.Disko 2007 remake)
B Hey (Moonbootica remix)
