We say
Holdin' On is a radio smash in waiting with a huge vocal hook and 2012-defining drum n' bass production. After championing the original track as his 'Next Hype', Zane Lowe played the Skrillex & Nero remix of the single last Monday as his 'Hottest Record In The World'. Fearne played it the next day and support has continued to come from the likes of Mistajam, Eddy Temple Morris and 1Xtra. The reaction has been crazy with the track reaching No.1 on Soundcloud, No.1 in the Hype Machine Twitter chart and the Skrillex & Nero mix reaching No.4 in the overall HypeM chart. The MONSTA YouTube channel has now clocked up nearly 350,000 views and the Soundcloud has had over 440,000 plays. The band have been playing an array of shows with Pendulum and Sub Focus, and are about to support Hadouken! on their UK tour this month before going on the OWSLA US tour in November. MONSTA have received coverage in Billboard's Hottest Releases of 2012, Rolling Stone, Popjustice, NME, 1883, Mixmag, SBTV, Music Week and on MTV - who described the Holdin' On video as their ‘most popular premiere of the year'.
