Re: Where the F is James Holden?
he did an album not long ago...was pretty average imo..."dj kicks" As for tracks...have not heard any recently and I do miss them too...some of his songs are just... WOW! I think he is focusing on growing the label...I know that Border Community is getting larger...and they did do a pretty good night in London a couple of months ago.
Re: Where the F is James Holden?

Re: Where the F is James Holden?

Re: Where the F is James Holden?
He started wearing scarves, grew his bangs out and started playing shitty beatless music. "Hi, I'm [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=257"]James Holden[/URL] and I'm fucking trendy now." Ugh, how do you go from making a comp like his Balance to putting out a crappy, self indulgent DJ Kicks.
Re: Where the F is James Holden?
we moved past 2002. Pretty much everything he did after his essential mix, his Balance effort and Fear of a Silver Planet haven't registered with me. He got really, really techy for a while and then went really minimal - a bit too much for my tastes.
Re: Where the F is James Holden?
I wished he would produce the old stuff and the new stuff with a different moniker and keep both going. He had some amazing music for its time, and I remember catching him for a morning set at Earthcore, some trippy melodic shit.
Re: Where the F is James Holden?
yeah def need some new stuff from him that sounds like the old stuff...altho i really did enjoy djkicks a lot (had a special setting for it and it speaks wonder with those southwest airlines planes while laying in the park), i would still want him to bring back his vibe, balance style...
the guy is talented no doubt, just needs to get back on the right tracks again....

Re: Where the F is James Holden?
^nice vids Feather, he obviously is just keeping a low profile... not sure why his appearance matters at all if the music is good.
Re: Where the F is James Holden?

Re: Where the F is James Holden?
Wouldn't go to see him on the strength of that.
Re: Where the F is James Holden?
JHolden, never been a good dj, genius producer, no denying
Re: Where the F is James Holden?
well his mixing isnt 100% but he plays some good special tracks and that should qualify him as a good dj
