Nick Holder ‎– Fruit Loops

Some 29 years after it first hit record stores, Nick Holder’s sought-after Fruit Loops EP returns in remastered and reissued form. The long-serving Canadian was already four years into his career – and many 12″ singles deep – when he delivered the four-tracker, which offers a funky and seductive take on deep house rich in disco and boogie samples. Check first the Chic-sampling disco house roll of ‘Dance, Dance, Dance’, before moving into the more complex (but not less attractive) ‘Keep On Running’. ‘The Message Is Love’ does a brilliant job in turning choice loops and samples from MFSB’s ‘Love Is A Message’ into heady house gold, while ‘Clap Your Hands’ makes merry with the stomping brilliance of Hamilton Bohannon’s most famous tune (‘Let’s Start The Dance’).
