HD017 Detail Shot

June 18, 2013 • Marie Davidson’s self-titled EP (HD017) is officially *OUT* – Marie is part of the vibrant La Brique collective in Montréal, QC, and also plays in Les Momies de Palerme, Hotel Monochrome, DKMD, and Essaie Pas. Her solo work first came to our attention when a track of hers appeared on Silent Land Time Machine’s OCT 2012 tour mix tape, and we’ve been pinned to the floor ever since.

Now accepting orders via the STORE // digital download available at the HOLODECK Bandcamp and all fine digital retailers.

If you didn’t catch the video for her single, Esthétique Privée, click the link and turn the lights off, this video works best if it’s DARK.

REPRESS: Troller s/t LP (HD003LP/LLR007) edt. of 300 // HOLODECK + LIGHT LODGE

Troller‘s s/t LP is available once again on vinyl today, June 4, 2013. This is the album’s 2nd pressing, also an edition of 300, this time with black dust sleeves (just feels right, right?). First pressing sold out in under 6 weeks, however, seemed like folks still couldn’t get enough of Troller (or the androgynous, axe-wielding siren who graces the cover) so we got moving on our very first repress – killer! Even after the first pressing sold out, Troller has gotten tons of rave reviews and kind words (seriously, has anyone ever seen so much positive-profanity in write ups?!) – so, now’s your chance to grip it on vinyl once again.

Also, Troller will be dropping on CD, for the first time ever, c/o of Handmade Birds – out June 11 and available via Thrill Jockey Distro).

VIDEO – Marie Davidson – Esthétique privée

HOLODECK is proud to announce that our next release will be Marie Davidson’s s/t EP (HD017, CS26, ed. of 200 – released June 18, 2013). Marie is from, and based in Montréal, Quebec, and has crafted an incredible 6 song EP of sombre electronic explorations and minimalist, existential French-pop that has had us pinned to the floor since we first heard about her (for the especially detail-oriented, you may remember one of her tracks from Silent Land Time Machine’s OCT 2012 tour mix tape).

We will have the full album streaming on our bandcamp soon – for now, check out the killer video that Marie made for her song Esthétique privée off her upcoming EP.

HOLODECK is One Year Old

HOLODECK ONE YEAR OLD

On April 30, 2012, HOLODECK “officially” launched with the release of our first four tapes, HD001-HD004. As of April 30th, 2013, we’ve released 15 cassettes (8 of which are sold out) and one vinyl LP. It’s been an *insanely* fun year, and we’re working hard to make 2013, and beyond, even better.

Thanks so much for all the continued support, genuinely kind words, and open-ears to what we’re doing down here in ATX!

Mixes

Two Mixtapes ft. tracks off our NEW TAPES – out MARCH 2013

vanallan_holodeck

In early 2013 we were kindly asked to put together several mixtapes (for 20 Jazz Funk Greats & Impose Magazine, respectively) that featured the HOLODECK catalog – since we have 6 new tapes dropping in March 2013, we thought we’d sneak in a track from each of the new releases on each mixtape…

Both mixes both start with a banger from Troller’s s/t LP (HD003LP/LLR007), and then run through our catalog-to-date, playing in reverse chronological order of release (i.e. the new stuff is first). Artist / song / release info can be found in the comments on the soundcloud stream.

(and, psssssstttttt you can download them both!)
