2015 repress! House of Spirits is the church of sound over which Tom Noble presides, raising the congregation to ecstatic heights from his pulpit of passion.

Noble's initial attempts at making music began like most collectors-cum-producers, lifting samples from worn records and repurposing the dusty beats into efficient edits.
Instead of lumbering in these limitations, Noble opted for a greater challenge by inviting musicians to transform his sketches into a widely - and wildly - dynamic live performance. The resulting studio celebration led to the euphoric Holding On / Keep Holding On 12" for Beats In Space Records.

'Holding On' glides on such a joyous, eventful groove that it's impossible to confine the track to a specific time or place. Strings, seemingly lifted from a 70s Salsoul twelve, soar alongside a gospel choir preaching positivity for souls both lost and found.
Buoyed by a bass lick fat with funk's sin and guitars glittering in solid gold, 'Holding On' embraces disco house authentically and timelessly.

On the flip, Aaron Coyes of Peaking Lights tucks the heavenly wonder of the original under a dub-worn blanket for an out-of-body dream beam.
The power of Noble's composition retains full form against the free-flowing disembodiment of the performers, melting into one amorphous, hustling and bustling entity held together at the whim of Coyes at the controls.
