STAY POSITIVE
Dutch electronic musician

D
utch electronic musician San Holo is a
bit of a perfectionist. “Everything I do is
paired with perfectionism,” he tells me
over the phone.
As a kid, Holo (who was born Sander
van Dijck) says he didn’t have much of a life be-
sides school and studying. “I have this weird ob-
session for doing it right,” he goes on. “Studying
for a test, or studying for a song.”
In fact, that perfectionism led Holo’s mom to
encourage him to do something just for fun, so he
picked up the guitar.
“I was always intrigued by the guitar,” he
adds. “Playing guitar changed my life.”
The guitar remains central to Holo’s debut
full-length Album1, though much of the record
lands squarely in the world of EDM and contem-
porary DJ music.
Branching out into electronic music helped
him reinvent himself creatively, Holo says. “What
motivates me the most is doing something new,”
he says. “A whole palette of sounds opened up
to me. I have so much freedom with this laptop.”

Somewhat unique to Album1, when compared
to a lot other EDM, is the heavy use of vocal-
ists like Sofie Winterson and Bipolar Sunshine.
The music still has plenty of the exhilarating bass
drops and frenetic energy EDM fans look for.
Lyrically, the album stays positive, both in terms
of the present and as an outlook on the future.
“Brighter days will come,” Bipolar Sunshine
sings on “Brighter Days.”
Growing up in Holland, Holo remembers
his parents supporting him creatively. But as
anywhere, planning to pursue music as a career
brought out the naysayers. It took a positive out-
look to get Holo where he is today.
“If you say you want to become a musician,”
he explains, “people always ask you, ‘That’s
cool, but what do you want to do for a living?’”
With the success of Album1 and his current
American tour, Holo won’t have to worry about
that any time soon. He calls the positive response
from audiences while touring the states “in-
credible.” Shortly after the album was released,
crowds were already singing the lyrics back to
him.
“It’s magical,” he says of hearing audiences
sing his songs. “One of the most beautiful things
I’ve experienced.” ■
San Holo performs with Eastghost, Taska Black and DUSKUS 8
pm Wednesday, Dec. 19, at McDonald Theatre; $20-30, $99 VIP
packages available, 16-plus.
