James Holden appreciation post... Roll Call!

Been listening to his music a lot lately, and I have to say - genius stuff. Anyone who doesn't know him, check out "come to me". What a track. He's apparently working on new material - can't wait for that.

More current: he's coming to Footwork on the 31st... sweeeeeet. Anyone planning to attend?

List of attendees:

Elendil + 3
Geroin
Shaya
Aleksandra
Aflyonthewall
Cribby
Psyrel
Spaniard + 3
Nata

Is this a "roll call" in disguise?

I'd say more a "Call to adventure"

I'd be more than happy, however, to make note of who will be there, and place it atop the post. Looking forward to it!

Tell me about it. The mix into and out of "Outhouse" are hands down tied with Sasha's mix into "Come to me" on his NYC mix as the best moments I've ever heard on any compilation, as far as transitions go. Absolutely beautiful.

Yup.

Man I can't wait - 3 years I've waited for a chance to see this man live - Probably the most influential musician for myself personally. May just have to lose my mind

I was impressed to see Holden voted #15 in Resident Advisor's top DJ poll...

http://www.residentadvisor.net/feat...ad.aspx?id=1000

Reports were most definitely mixed about James Holden as a DJ just five short years ago. But where the Border Community head's unique track selection seemed to lead to sets pockmarked by unsteady mixing and awkward dance floor moments, nowadays Holden is comfortable and assured behind the decks, delivering smoothly flowing performances that make his entertaining genre-mashing sound effortless.
