- The duo's 1984 track 'Shake Your Molecules' has been remastered by Veronica Vasicka's label.
Veronica Vasicka's Minimal Wave have announced plans to reissue Soma Holiday's 1984 track "Shake Your Molecules."
The duo of Jean-Marc Vallod and Jane Honicker were based in Brooklyn in the mid-'80s. Shake Your Molecules was recorded at Unique Studios in Manhattan—apparently the first studio in the city with MIDI capabilities. In New York Vallod and Honicker worked with Arthur Baker protégé Jay Burnett, who later went on to collaborate with Adam Yauch of The Beastie Boys.
Minimal Wave describe the EP as "quintessential NYC electro/hip-hop sound infused with French New Wave." The record comes packed in a glossy sleeve with photo inserts and liner noted written by Vallod. You can listen to sound clips over on the label's website, while the original "Shake Your Molecules" can be heard via the YouTube player below:
Tracklist
01. Shake Your Molecules (Original)
02. Shake Your Molecules (Dub)
03. Too Many People (Alt)
04. Art Dimension (Alt)
Minimal Wave will release Shake Your Molecules on April 30th, 2014.
