Grab your tickets using the link below:</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://www.sanholo.com/" target="_blank">BUY TICKETS</a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Still riding a wave of success following his collaboration with Yellow Claw on ‘Alright’, an ‘awe inspiring piece of electronic excellence’ (Complex) that had its debut on Skrillex’s esteemed OWSLA imprint last week, San Holo is now gearing up for a run of North American shows that span across the east to west coast starting in March this year. With his reputation solidified as one of dance music’s most energetic and creative DJ’s – thanks to his sell-out tour of New Zealand and Australia earlier this year - the Dutch ‘Future Bass’ aficionado will this time bring his unique and electrifying set to fans stateside. Lighting up clubs from New York (Webster Hall) to New Orleans, and from Las Vegas to Salt Lake City, today San gives a taster of what’s to come with this thirty minute exclusive mix. Check it out here:</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> STREAM: ‘NEW SKY TOUR’ MIX – SAN HOLO</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <iframe frameborder="no" height="450" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/246404200&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true" width="100%"></iframe> <br /> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 2016 is certainly shaping up to be one of San Holo’s busiest to date. With his label bitbird now signing some of the most exciting new names in electronic music, a North American tour, and with new music coming from the man himself later this month, San is on course to dominate this year and beyond. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> </div>

It was a wide-eyed cross section of rave culture, touching on UK grime, dubstep and trance with the type of wonder you'd expect from a kid in a candy store. To experience Rustie's work is to dip into the almost synaesthetic  clusterfuck of colour, taste and sound you'd expect from an acid trip while watching Adventure Time. However, where <i>Glass Swords</i> was a bold and imposing statement, naive in all the right ways, <i>Green Language</i> feels like a shadow of its predecessor, due in part to a seemingly sleepy second half.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">After the early and wholly  satisfying climax of <i><a href="http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iA24gVGnIxQ" target="_blank">Raptor</a></i> with its sky high chords and instant sugar rush, the album struggles to return to those dizzying heights, matched only nearly by Danny Brown's shrieking to the point of breathlessness over <i><a href="http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_mO2VcJAkOw" target="_blank">Attak's</a></i> infectious melody. Returning the favour after providing Danny with the beat for <i>Old's <a href="http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VZHks316GBw" target="_blank">Dope Song</a></i> to much fanfare and interest from hip hop circles, Danny adds an entirely unique moment to <i>Green Language's</i> already glittering landscape. There is a certain drug-overdosed fatalism to Danny's performances, a sense of hurtling towards your death at high speed that elevates <i>Attak</i> to something far more human, flawed and undeniably brilliant.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">From then on <i>Green Language</i> coasts towards the finish line with more subdued R&B leaning moments such as on <i>Dream On's</i> radio-ready appeal. <i>He Hate Me</i> works as a sparklingly warm hip hop number that could very well have been recorded in a towering cathedral made of crystal, complete with uplifting choir chants occupying the background and a slightly more-than-okay performance from the duo Gorgeous Children's Face Vega.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Green Language</i> then trails off with scintillating piano keys echoing into nothingness with its title track, somewhat mirroring the ambivalent, scattered feel of the album in its entirety. Where every track on <i>Glass Swords</i> felt immediate and incalculably huge, <i>Green Language</i> comes off more as a very good album with two or three standouts. It's lighter in feel and less dense than its predecessor, only clocking in at under 37 minutes, leaving one hopelessly clutching at the hope of more. If recent releases such as <i><a href="http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1aUl3mVId3w" target="_blank">Triadzz</a></i> or <i><a href="http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=stT4VAnVfY4" target="_blank">Slasherr</a></i> perhaps made it into the second half, it would've helped revitalise the last stretch considerably. For those looking for another <i><a href="http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tBgCQjSaCoA" target="_blank">Surph</a></i> or<i> <a href="http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iKm1m1NJysk" target="_blank">City Star</a></i>, you won't find that here, but even in Rustie's most average moments his work still packs more colour, vibrancy and outright wonder than anything currently out there.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Green Language is out August 26th</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Stream the album <a href="http://www.pandora.com/station/play/2210026061463030483" target="_blank">here</a></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div>
