James Holden appreciation thread

The man needs no introduction here I guess
List your favorite tracks and DJ sets, please ;]

Some of mine include the masterpieces like "A Break in The Clouds", "Nothing". His set from "Cacao Club" in Bulgaria (2003) is wicked also.

favorite tracks by him are A Break in the Clouds, Horizons, and Solstice. Balance 005 is my favorite comp ever. His BC label was reaaaalllly solid for the first few years of its existence. His At the Controls comp is way better than the others.

These days he isn't keeping me interested though.

Ariane - Eternity (Souldrivers Mix)
James Holden & Ben Pound - Kaern Turned
Holden, Sasha & Junkie XL - Bloodlock
Balance 005 is a given.

Roland Klinkenberg - Inner Laugh (James Holden Remix)
Joshua Ryan - Pistolwhip (James Holden Remix)
The Coffee Boys - The Touch (James Holden Remix)
Accadia - Into the Dawn (James Holden Remix)

Just about everything he touched back then was instantly gold in my ears.

For those who don't have it, here's a link to his 2002 EM.

that's when Holden was producing really interesting tracks. The first hour or so is tremendous.

I wonder if Border Community is going to stop now that they've hit 25 releases. It seems as tho they've run out of ideas.

Balance 005

His Essential Mix from 2002 is legendary. Indeed he was more interesting back in the years, now seems like he slowed down a little bit.

Who hasn't run out of new ideas, in dance music?

Balance 005 is great... so is his Britney Spears remix (srsly).

James Holden - Solstice

I love the little kick drum he uses there. Makes me think of armaggedon and epic marching armies of orcs under a really dark sky signaling the end of the world for some reason.

Ogenki Clinic - First Light

best song ever by an alias named after a popular H-series.

I had never heard this. Amazing stuff! Thanks for posting it.

any other BC releases on the horizon? I just checked out some google results and facebook profile for BC....not much of anything going on. Wouldnt be surprised if that Fake release was the last one for them

Only other thing I heard was an MFA on BC for 2009 but that had to be 6 months ago at least....

Mainline - Narcotic
James Holden - I Have Put Out The Light

10101

Posted by MrJiveBoJingles on Aug-26-2009 17:35:

"10101" sounds like something you'd hear on a trendy car commercial.

Posted by MrJiveBoJingles on Aug-26-2009 17:40:

Honestly, I like a lot of his weirder new stuff, from what I'm hearing.

I see people slating him all the time, though.
