Brand new single from GlassJack

GlassJack moves in a direction of mystery, constructing a world where anonymity becomes the main event. Their story places their origins somewhere in the underground disco scene of the early twentieth century, blurring timelines and bending reality into something more theatrical. Based in Oakland, the DJ and producer operates behind a carefully curated persona while deliberately eschewing any definition to capture the sense of myth that’s threaded through the project.

As GlassJack, they arrive as a full sensory experience, where performance, fashion and symbolism sit alongside sound. The mirrored rabbit display, now synonymous with the name, acts as both disguise and invitation, reflecting everything back at the audience. Since debuting in October 2024 with “Ain’t Nobody,” GlassJack has consistently built momentum, releasing a series of dance-focused tracks that have found space across the airwaves.

Each release has expanded the scope of the project, amplifying the idea that this is more than a traditional DJ alias. It’s a framework for storytelling that exists somewhere between the club and something more cinematic, an idea which now comes into sharper focus with the arrival of “hold on.,” a brand new that shifts the emphasis toward something more reflective. On this new track, GlassJack trades pure dancefloor energy for atmosphere and emotional impact.

Stacked with layered textures and melodic structures, the track creates a sense of space, capturing a feeling of isolation, thematically revolving around the decision to keep going, even when that choice feels uncertain. Arriving just ahead of Mental Health Awareness Month, the track aligns with a wider intention to engage with conversations around mental health. GlassJack’s involvement with Nami SF, including participation in their annual walk, strengthens that connection, tethering the project’s more abstract elements to real-world action.

Brought in by bright piano chords, smokey choral textures and airy vocal leads, bubbling synth notes usher in a pulsing dance-focused energy that surges with rattling snare before jumping into a bouncy electronic pop scene. Led by impassioned vocal lines which stitches infectious melodic threads into the grooving musical fabric, the track intricately balances invigorating energy with meaningly context to delivery a spectacular listening experience.

Capturing a retro pop vibe cut with cutting edge aesthetic, “hold on.” sees GlassJack serve up an enthralling new jam that’s sure to light up dancefloors and encourage important conversation around mental health. As the project continues to grow, that balance between escapism and substance becomes increasingly central and with “hold on.,” GlassJack takes another thrilling step forward on their epic musical adventure.

Commenting on the single, GlassJack shares, “This song is for anyone who almost gave up, or is considering giving up. It’s about that moment where everything feels so heavy, dark and overwhelming, it’s all just too much… and still, you choose to stay anyway.”
