“After the massive success of ‘Up’, I knew that I wanted to continue working with Kenton on future tracks. So, since he put his spin on my track by adding his incredible vocals and contributing additional production, I decided to put my spin on his track. The sound that really influenced this remix was that of ‘Anjunadeep’, the progressive house sublabel of the iconic ‘Anjunabeats’ label. It is extremely chill and deep, and builds around the vocal hook from the original. I went this route with the remix as opposed to a harder style because I thought it would better suit the vocal style; and I think that I made the right decision. A good bit of my upcoming original releases will be electro-house oriented club-bangers since I’ve recently signed a deal with Dirty Fabric Digital, the label of Chicago house legend Paul Anthony, so producing a remix that forced me to stay laidback and groovy was a great change of pace. You can also expect me to continue working with Mr. Dunson in the future!” – Hollidayrain
Momentum (Hollidayrain Remix) by Kenton Dunson
If Progressive House isn’t your style, Kenton recently released a song titled “NFL Flow” to his supporters last Friday in celebration of his album Creative Destruction 2 reaching over 30,000 downloads as well as in hopes that the NFL lockout comes to a close next week. He pulled a beat out from his archives that he made back in college using the NFL on Fox theme as a sample and ripped a verse over it.
