Hollway - I’m Not Like You (incl. Ruff Loaderz Remix) - ASTIR recordings
Making his debut, HOLLWAY joins us with ‘I’m Not Like You’ featuring some heavyweight remixing support from Ruff Loaderz.
After a successful career as a DJ at the heart of the UK’s gay scene, garnering residencies at London’s infamous Heaven and Paradise Factory in Manchester, plus international appearances from Rio de Janeiro to the Berlin Love Parade, Aussie producer/performer Simon Hollway, retired to the rainforests of Eastern Australia to concentrate on his productions, splitting his time between the UK and Australia, working with fresh and upcoming local talents from both countries.
Signed to a number of high profile labels, his productions now span a wide spectrum of genres, from uplifting trance through to more cerebral electronica. Despite his successes, including a #1 dance hit in the US, pipping One Direction to the post, he still can’t dance properly. Probably best not mention it...
In original form, ‘I’m Not Like You’ explores first crushes whilst doubling as an anthem for those hesitantly self-identifying as Transgendered. Deep trance beats open the track which soars from the off before Simon’s vocals and a delicate arp draw out the emotion, and the galloping bass powers forward. Perfect for those end of night sweaty embraces.
On remix duties, Ruff Loaderz drops a ‘90s inspired House bomb that would blow the roof off the likes of Miss Moneypenny's or Cream!

From this discussion came the idea of starting a new record label founded on old-fashioned ideals, a place where original, forward thinking music would be not only celebrated but be the norm. A place where the producer would not be abused and expected to master their own productions at their own cost and see most of the profits from their hard work swallowed up in distribution fees and label costs.
A place where the artists could build a community; a place of shared ideas and off the cuff collaborations. A place where the art of music would not be lost, giving way to mass media marketing and watering down of ideas for mass consumer consumption. A record label you can once again trust to weed out the mediocre and deliver time and again GREAT music.
A label by DJs, for DJs and the music-loving public. A label such as ASTIR recordings
