Daybreak by Rose Holland

Rose Holland is a Bristol-based producer, vocalist, and DJ creating a unique blend of vocal-led bass music. Honing her craft as Dutchie since 2017, this chapter marks a defining shift in her musical journey as she embraces her new alias and joins the Faux Poly family with her new Daybreak EP. Holland’s productions blend heavy-hitting lows with rich, layered vocals infused with field recordings and a wide range of influences. The result is a genre-blurring, emotionally resonant style that’s distinctly her own.

With recent sets at Document Bristol, Shambala, Lost Horizon and a monthly show on SWU FM, her high energy DJ sets fuse bass-heavy breaks with leftfield UK bass, leading to a busy summer of shows at Boomtown, We Out Here and Glastonbury. Since releasing a two-tracker and a single in 2024, Rose has followed up with a remix EP featuring Faux Poly’s own Danny Goliger, plus remixes for Marla Kether and Illiterate. With ongoing support from BBC Radio 1, 6Music, Rinse FM, Jazz FM and more, Holland is quickly carving out a distinctive space in the cross-genre electronic landscape with her heady fusion of soulful bass music.

Words from Rose:
This EP explores field recordings (“Dawn” was originally made exclusively from found sounds), texture, and a continuation of experimenting with fusing my vocals with my production in creative and fun ways.

The tracks are a mix of new and old ideas - yet somehow the lyrical themes ended up combining to express my general frustration at misogynistic behaviour and the extra barriers that exist for women working in the music industry - sparked by some of my experiences working as a live sound engineer. The whole project has been a cathartic and enjoyable process of creating something good out of less than ideal situations and I hope it can inspire and motivate women in music to keep doing their thing and men to re-asses their behaviour.
