eightball.ie proudly presents Nick Holder

Friday, May 21
Red Room @ Trinity Rooms

Holder’s music career began in the early ’80s when he first started DJing. Later in the decade, he discovered the burgeoning Detroit techno scene only a few hours away from his home in Toronto. Detroit icons like Derrick May and Carl Craig captivated Holder, as did many of the tracks coming from Chicago during the same late-’80s period by producers like Adonis.

In the ’90s, Holder began producing his own tracks and released 12″s for a number of labels such as Definitive, Stickmen, Hi Bias, Strobe, and Studio K7, the label that released two full-lengths of his in 1997, One Night in the Disco and Back on Track.

Furthermore, Holder released many of his productions through NRK, including many of his biggest hits such as “Da Sambafrique” (NRK 018), “I Once Believed in U” (NRK 023), and “Trying to Find Myself” (NRK 031), in addition to full-length efforts such as From Within and Underground Alternatives.
