Thread Voxel charges dancefloors and emotions with “Electric Hold On”

Honk Magazine

Thread Voxel’s new single, “Electric Hold On,” is filled with irresistible emotions. With this jolting release, the artist returns to the late 2000s and early 2010s, when dance music was felt. For Thread Voxel, it’s about capturing that high. From that first shimmering synth swell at the start of ‘Electric Hold On,” this is music stipulating bringing back the emotional euphoria that was once the staple of club culture. The song is a trip, heart-racing sprint, and arms-wide catharsis. Picture dim-lit warehouses, hands in the air, sweat on the walls. That kind of energy.

Built atop a base of big emotional builds and build-ups with super-sized adrenalizing drops, Thread Voxel walks that fine line between the sentimental and the spectacular to perfection. The builds are patient, deliberate, and downright breathless. Then they’re followed by the drops driving, pulsing, relentless to which you have to submit to the rhythm. It’s a memory jogger with a modern engine. And what’s most impressive is how “Electric Hold On” is an unabashedly retro-worshipping track, but it’s the furthest thing from a gimmick. There’s a polish to this here, a glossy, 2025-ready sound design that allows this track to feel new while keeping it firmly rooted in the now.

The production sparkles with meticulousness but never sounds over digitized. Thread Voxel is hitting that sweet spot between old and new, combining the emotional promise of old-school EDM with the fearless swagger of today’s musical panorama. At a time when much of the world is falling in love with the minimalist mood board, “Electric Hold On” dares to be big, loud, and heart-filled, and it works. Whether you’re a long-time fan of that golden dance era or a recent listener new to discovering its magic, “Electric Hold On” is a statement.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi

Kalpee

Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.

Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.

The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.

“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
