From a young age, Igor Holchin was captivated by music, gravitating towards the vibrant energy of club parties over traditional schooling. By 16, he was playing at after-parties, soon headlining major events in his native Moldova. Encouraged by friends abroad, he began performing internationally, leaving his mark in countries like Belgium, Italy, and Switzerland’s iconic Supermarket club.

Immersed in the nuances of sound, Igor masterfully weaves sharp yet subtle elements into his tracks and DJ sets, which span from classic house to folk. His unique sonic signature is a captivating blend of rhythms. This journey culminated in 2021 with the release of his debut record on the fresh label, Mountain Series.

Für die Ewigwachgebliebenen zum Feierabendbier, für die Frühaufsteher als Seelenfutter zum Wochenbeginn: Montagssorbet mit Laut & Luise. Alles erlaubt, was gut tut und Gedanken kreisen lässt, nur der Name ist Programm: cremig, fluffig und ganz schön weich.
