Celebrated saxophonist and producer Nathan Haines presents a new remix of his track ‘Just Holdin’ On’, coming courtesy of one of NZ’s most sought-after producers, Christoph El Truento. Featuring the chopped-up hip-hop vocals from rapper Eo, the remix takes the track down a house route, while keeping the lo-fi hip-hop and jazzy vibes of the original.

Widely known for deep-diving into different genres, Christoph El Truento has gained acclaim locally and abroad for his unique takes on hip-hop, reggae, jazz, eletronica and ambient music. The recent years has seen a prolific output garner a loyal following worldwide, with his albums Dubs From The Neighbourhood, Circle of Friends and Peace Maker Dub all being critical and underground favorites. A remix from El Truento is a rare treat, with him putting his own spin on ‘Just Holdin’ On’. 

The release follows a monumental year for Haines, who has further solidified his status as one of New Zealand's most influential jazz and electronic artists. The album Notes saw critical acclaim and widespread support, with singles gracing playlists worldwide. Featuring a dynamic blend of live instrumentation and electronic elements, Notes represents Haines’ lifelong commitment to pushing musical boundaries. 2025 will see Haines release a deluxe version of Notes, featuring a collection of instrumentals, remixes, edits, and live performances from his sold-out Powerstation show.
