After the success of their second album Activity, Sydney wonky house trio
Holy Balm return with a remix EP, featuring Activity tracks reworked by Moon B,
Andras and Zanzibar Chanel. Melbourne house monsters Zanzibar Chanel contribute
possibly their recorded swan-song, with a squelching, grunting, irresistible
take on Circumstance. US boogie funk magician Moon B, known for releases on
Peoples Potential Unlimited and 1080P, draws out the brittle dreaminess of All
Night Long. The album’s undeniable single Fashion (recently spotted in an
episode of UK reality series Made In Chelsea) is disassembled twice by Melbourne
celeb Andras, whose 2016 releases under the names House Of Dad and
Wilson/Tanner have populated endless DJ best of lists. Andras also tackles Hot
Cold, taking it even further into club minimalism. Holy Balm’s second album
Activity was released by Chapter in August 2016, earning raves from the likes of
Thump, KEXP, All Music, Brooklyn Vegan, I-D and Rolling Stone Australia. The
Activity Mixes 12” is limited to a one-off vinyl pressing of 500 copies.
“Danceable, charmingly off kilter and refreshingly not tied to any era” –
