It’s well known and often remarked upon that Will Holland works damn hard, has put out a lot of records and is still damn young. When you consider that someone in their mid twenties released what is essentially their 8th album in 2006, and has racked up nearly 30 remixes since his first release in 2002, it really is quite astonishing.
We all know that quantity does not equal quality, so what really stands out is the fact that every release is a winner and sees him trying something different, exploring sound and translating his own huge thirst for new sound into his work.
There isn’t a musical genre out there that’s related to the hearts of funk and soul that he hasn’t turned his hand to, yet he his one of the few producers around that always sounds like himself.
Whether under his original Quantic moniker, or as the live rocking funk soul heaviness of The Quantic Soul Orchestra, you can spot a Quantic production a mile off, even if it doesn’t sound like anything you’ve heard him do before.
Its a talent that has seen him work with some of the finest names around. Remixing Charlie Parker and Breakestra, collaborating with Sharon Jones and Mr. Scruff, sharing a live stage with De La Soul, producing and writing with Spanky Wilson. Quantic’s talent is admired by producers, vocalists, and musicians of all the ages. And naturally, clubbers around the world have felt the Quantic presence too.
From the festival stages of The Big Chill, Glastonbury, and Roskilde, super smooth clubs in Europe and Japan, hard core roadtrips around the USA and Australia, tiny Muscovite basement sessions and Puerto Rican Candela sweat-boxes, where there’s the music love, Quantic will go. |
