Fans are totally stoked that Jauz and Crankdat have released their highly anticipated collaboration “I Hold Still” — an electro/bass house blend of epic, wubby proportions!
In what Jauz dubs as one of his “fav” tracks he’s ever released, both artists fully flex their production muscles. The track immediately hooks you with the beat, releases into progressive, synthy build, and then it’s go time! Clean, momentous growls power the track forward, but don’t expect it to stay in one place for too long. Jauz and Crankdat balance crazy with feelsy, and that back and forth feeds off subtle changes throughout the production.
Although the track holds its own, for many there’s one important missing factor. The original version that surfaced on the internet featured vocals that are absent from the more recent, official release. But don’t worry guys, they definitely heard you…
Ok guys we hear u… I know it sucks that we had to release the song w/o the vocals… we had legal issues clearing them. BUT –

Crankdat is already working on the “I Hold Still” (Re-Crank), which sounds like it will include the vocals…
