Nick Holder’s iconic “Dance, Dance, Dance” finally arrives digitally with new remixes from Jason Hodges and Trackheadz.
Definitive Recordings proudly presents a long-awaited milestone: the first-ever digital release of “Dance, Dance, Dance” by Nick Holder’s FruitLoops project, originally released in 1995 and since reissued countless times on vinyl. This timeless house anthem, a pure expression of disco groove, now returns remastered and revitalised, accompanied by two brand-new remixes from Toronto house legends, Jason Hodges and Trackheadz.
The original version of “Dance, Dance, Dance” captures the raw magic of mid-90s house: an essential yet irresistible jam that merges classic 70s disco samples with a deep, enveloping bassline and a straightforward house groove. It’s simple, it’s soulful, and it’s pure disco-house sensuality. Jason Hodges delivers a playful rework that modernises the track while keeping its soul intact. His remix adds shuffling percussion, chopped vocals, and a subtly reworked bassline, injecting a fresh rhythmic twist that stays true to the track’s roots, while enhancing its dancefloor drive. Trackheadz then takes the track into deeper territory, layering lush synth chords, organ lines, and sweeping strings over a steady, hypnotic build: a masterclass in musicality and atmosphere for the after-hours crowd.
A true veteran of the Toronto house scene, Nick Holder rose to international acclaim in the late 90s and early 2000s with releases on Definitive, NRK, Stickmen, and Studio K7, shaping the sound of deep house and soul. As the founder of DNH Records, he was the driving force behind countless underground classics, including “Da Sambafrique,” “Trying to Find Myself,” and “Summer Daze.”
Jason Hodges, another staple of the Toronto underground, is known for his tough yet groovy sound that fuses New York swing with Chicago grit. Having remixed the likes of DJ Sneak, Derrick Carter, DJ Heather, and Kaskade, Hodges continues to be synonymous with timeless, compelling house. Trackheadz, spearheaded by Kaje Trackheadz, brings decades of experience blending sweet strings, soulful brass, and deep club energy. Responsible for underground staples like “Our Music” and “Feel,” he’s remixed everyone from Todd Terry to the Sunburst Band, and continues to expand his vision through Trackheadz Records.
Almost three decades later, “Dance, Dance, Dance” still delivers.
