My album All For That One Time is out now on @_syrupmusic!

This project has lived in my head and on my hard drive for so long that it feels almost surreal to finally release it into the wild. Thank you for receiving and inhabiting these songs in whatever way feels right to you. I’m grateful they no longer belong to me alone 🙏

This album wouldn’t sound half as good without the help and endless inspiration of these wonderful people: @luka.lisa , @anukamusic , @marinka_stam , @markschilders , @nadienunn , @joost_wesseling , @benruvanasselt , @timbiesta , @nickyhustinx , @jerboamastering

Thank you to @sterloid for the amazing artwork (and some drumsamples!) And a huge thanks to Jochem, Joris, and Youssef from @_syrupmusic for all the support and for being such great soundboards.

All For That One Time holds many different meanings, but at its core, for me, it’s about finding the balance between the urge to explore and the comforting feeling of returning home. And now I’m quite happy to say—I feel @ home!

Enjoy!! And stay in touch!

Very happy to announce that @_holyoke_ is the newest signing on SYRUP. Holyoke is the alias of Silvan van der Zwaag, hailing from the beautiful city of Rotterdam and is inspired by the great nineties, grunge as well as the rise of electronic music. Floating somewhere between Boards of Canada, Mum, Four Tet and Oneohtrix Point Never. Holyoke adeptly balances the urge to explore, and the comforting sensation of returning home. His productions, often described as warm and comforting, are set against a backdrop of dreampop with a groove, mystical storytelling, and playful arrangements.
Holyoke’s first single, “Pedestrian,” embarks the listener on a sonic exploration of detachment and disconnection in modern society. While entrenched in the realms of music production, Holyoke paints a vivid picture of his personal journey through the bustling streets, feeling alienated amidst the relentless cadence of everyday life.
“I’m wandering from nine to five.”

Out September 5th via SYRUP MUSIC.

I’m in Brighton this week and while I was watching the sea from the pier, I decided to shoot a little video for the remix I made for @_holyoke_ which is out now, I hope you like it! ❤️

For the remix I cut up some amazing layers from the original track, added bass and chords with my beloved @dreadbox.synthesizers Murmux Adept, and I recorded some piano for the piece as well.

Find the links to the full video & piece (which is part of a remix compilation with some amazing other remixes) in my bio/story. by @_holyoke_

Holyoke, het alias van Rotterdamse producer Silvan van der Zwaag, laat je zweven tussen dromerige elektronica en warme, gelaagde soundscapes. Geïnspireerd door ’90s grunge en elektronische muziek beweegt zijn sound ergens tussen nostalgie en vernieuwing.
Met invloeden van o.a. Boards of Canada en Four Tet creëert hij een wereld van dreampop, grooves en mysterieuze verhalen. Zijn muziek voelt als een reis door het moderne leven, soms vervreemdend, maar altijd troostend. Even loskomen van de drukte en opgaan in geluid. 🌿✨ taken in Camping In De Rimboe by @_holyoke_
