Listen: Paces - Hold It Down feat. Reija Lee

The pioneer of swag wave is back with a fruity new single..

More Paces Paces Profile

The original swag king, aka Paces is back, and he returns with another bouncing dance hit. Hold It Down could be likened to having a glitter grenade hurled at you, one that sends you into an uncontrollable rinse. It starts off saturated in sugary synths, before getting trimmed right back for a tight drop at 2:19. He used the vocals of Kučka to colour his single Nothing’s Forever earlier this year, and he’s employed the sweet sounds of Reija Lee for a similar effort here. You may remember Lee from our recent Pile TV episode of A Day With, featuring the vocalist and her partner in crime, Kito - watch HERE.
