Holt Blackheath is a UK producer associated with garage and UK house. He begins in the main-room sound of progressive house, and his production then moves towards deep house as that style grows in prominence in the UK scene.

Career

By the end of 2011, Holt Blackheath’s sound is described as evolving away from his earlier progressive house direction and taking on wider influences. His track Machine is the result of that shift, drawing on multiple spliced sounds and a clearer deep house approach. After it appears on SoundCloud, it attracts attention from house listeners across the UK.

The track is then picked up by the Bristol-based channel SubSoul, which uploads it in spring 2012. This helps extend his profile online and is a significant moment in his development as a producer.

Labels and releases

Holt Blackheath releases music on Sleazy G, Simma Black and CUFF. He is also described as signing to three labels and as having a growing international profile.

Residencies and scene activity

He holds residencies with We Play House, Hat club, Circle/Qube and Cue Love. His work is framed around a strong online following, alongside production and performances shaped by deep house influences.
