Best of Quantic out September 5th!

I’ve been a diehard fan of Will Holland aka Quantic since I heard his debut downtempo single “Life in the Rain” on Tru Thoughts back in 2001. Then he quickly formed The Quantic Soul Orchestra and released a straight-up raw funk 45, “Super 8, Pts. 1 & 2.” I knew right away this was a young guy with serious talent and someone to watch. Little did I know I’d be watching closely for ten years straight!

Holland has released an astonishing twelve albums under a variety of projects:

  • the hip-hop, jazz and Latin-inflected downtempo electronica of Quantic
  • the live funk band sound of The Quantic Soul Orchestra
  • the laid back indie soul-groove of The Limp Twins
  • the Latin/dub fusion of Flowering Inferno
  • the straight-up live Latin sounds of Quantic and His Combo Barbaro
Quantic has an adventurous spirit and an impossible work ethic

Not to mention countless collaborations and remixes. Will Holland is an artist with an adventurous spirit and a seemingly impossible work ethic (and if you’ve heard him DJ too, a seriously enviable record collection!). Everything he’s involved with—from electronica to dub to traditional Latin sounds—has a unique depth and a soulful quality that very few producers out there can match. His passion for authenticity led him to Cali, Colombia which he now calls home as he explores traditional Latin sounds using up-to-the-minute laptop recording & production technology.

This new double-disc Best of Quantic compilation samples every project across his musical career, and because he can’t leave well enough alone the double album includes three brand new songs. Looking forward to this one!
