Monolink – Don’t Hold Back (Yotto Remix) [Embassy One]
On the back of the Fideles’ version of ‘Otherside’, German electronic musician and singer-songwriter hyphenate Monolink (Steffen Linck) returns with a fresh new remix off his highly anticipated second album ‘Under Darkening Skies’ out Embassy One.
This time around the album’s dark horse ‘Don’t Hold Back’ – with its swirling pads, juddering basslines, and ruminative lyrics – turns into a progressive, upbeat dance-floor filler in the hands of Yotto, the head of Odd One Out renowned for his reworks of Gorillaz, Coldplay, Faithless, Röyksopp, and most recently, Orbital’s ecstatic 1991 tune ‘Belfast’.
