Michael Ace - Holiday Lights EP

Stream/Download

Producer Michael Ace has delivered Holiday Lights, a three-track EP via The QR Network that serves as a direct homage to the sounds that defined the 2010s electronic dance music revolution. Rather than targeting a single breakout track, the collection is designed to be experienced as a complete, continuous set.
The project highlights the mission of The QR Network: preserving, celebrating, and releasing timeless progressive and groove house styles that ignited global festival mainstages over a decade ago.
Track-by-Track Breakdown1. Holiday Lights (Title Track)The titular track is a high-octane throwback to pure groove house. It channels the precise, percussion-driven energy popularized by Dutch pioneers like Holl & Rush, Dannic, and Tom & Jame. The track relies on a driving bassline and sharp, syncopated synths built for high-tempo club play.
2. Eyes On Us (with LEGND)Expanding the EP's sonic palette, this collaboration shifts the focus to high-energy bounce. "Eyes On Us" utilizes an aggressive rhythm and vocal-driven hooks to deliver a peak-time club anthem.
3. Eagle Eyed (featuring J Fitz and JERIKO)Tying the collection together is "Eagle Eyed". The track pairs a commanding vocal performance from J Fitz (Richard Farrell) with a precision studio edit from golden era favorite JERIKO. This vocal progressive house anthem stands directly alongside the classic catalogs of Fonk Recordings, Protocol Recordings, Freeway Recordings, and Glorie Records.
The QR Network MissionThe global dance music landscape continues to shift, but the high-energy foundations of 2010s progressive and groove house remain foundational. The QR Network remains dedicated to backing artists who keep these elements alive. The Holiday Lights EP stands as a testament to that legacy, proving that the energetic, melodic structures of the golden era are timeless.
