Swedish DJ, producer, and label owner Jeremy Olander is gearing up to unveil ‘Holmen,‘ the inaugural release from the brand-new label, Interstellar. Positioned as a new imprint under the Insomniac Music Group umbrella and considered an offshoot of Insomniac Records, Interstellar aims to be a haven for melodic house, techno, progressive house, deep house, and more. Originally planned as a festival last year, which unfortunately fell victim to adverse weather conditions, Interstellar now emerges not only as a label but also as a clubs and events brand. With a mission to create a home for all things ethereal, the label is launching with the release of Olander’s single, ‘Holmen’ on March 22nd.
Holmen
‘Holmen’ is the quintessential embodiment of Interstellar’s sound. It pulsates with a jungle beat that metamorphoses into choppy sounds and twinkling synths. As a consequence, culminating in captivating breakdowns of ethereal melodies. The debut label release is sure to resonate deeply with anyone who comes across it. Featuring long build-ups and emotional peaks, it offers a euphoric journey that transcends genre boundaries. Moreover, it transports listeners to a different state of consciousness.
On the making of the single, Olander shares, “For special shows I like to make new intro tracks, and this particular one was made for Department Festival in Stockholm last summer…“
“It’s a big annual festival that’s been running for a few years and I played the headline slot on the second day and wanted to put something together that was big, melodic and emotional and could set the tone for a festival set.”
