The Dutch producer debuts on the Factory 93 imprint with his new two-track offering, a pair of groovy house rollers poised for late-night club play.
Amersfoort-born producer Hidde van Wee continues his rapid ascent through the global house underground with his debut release on Factory 93 Records, unveiling a finely tuned two-tracker led by the hypnotic title cut, “Hold On Tight.” Known for groove-heavy club weapons that blur the lines between house, electro, and UK garage, van Wee delivers a release that feels both meticulously restrained and irresistibly physical.
“Hold On Tight” is a study in tension and release—deep, minimal, and confidently paced. Its rhythm is intentional and densely layered, guiding listeners through a nocturnal soundscape rich with detail: talkbox vocal hooks drift over rubbery basslines, sustained string pads, and ethereal arpeggiated bloops, while wailing electric guitar licks and river-like atmospheric currents add a hazy emotional pull.
Filling out the B-side is “Mystery of Telekinetic,” which reaches deeper into a more hypnotic headspace. Iridescent, shimmering chord stabs and silky melodic lines create a fabric of mesmerizing tones of fluid rhythm perfect for afterhours magicmaking. The result is a pair of track that thrives in the liminal hours of the dancefloor, balancing precision with warmth in a way that feels unmistakably modern yet timeless.
The release marks a significant milestone for Hidde van Wee, who has steadily built momentum with standout releases that have caught the attention of tastemakers across the scene, with recent backing from BBC Radio 1’s Danny Howard, alongside consistent support from Chris Stussy, Max Dean, Riordan, and Chloé Caillet.

He has become a familiar presence at some of the Netherlands’ most respected clubs—Shelter, Thuishaven, Bret (Amsterdam) and Toffler (Rotterdam)—while expanding his footprint in the UK with appearances including UNLISH afters at Amber’s Manchester, Colorado Charlie, and live support for LP Rhythm’s headline tour in Newcastle. His sets mirror his productions: raw, groove-led, and fluid across genre boundaries.
With his Factory 93 Records debut, Hidde van Wee signals the next phase of an already impressive trajectory. ‘Hold on Tight’ not only reinforces his reputation as one of the Netherlands’ most exciting new house talents, but also positions him firmly on an international stage—one where his command of groove, atmosphere, and dancefloor intuition continues to resonate far beyond the club.
