I need to hear one of his more recent sets....

I saw him a couple years ago...actually opening for J00F at Spundae LA of all places, and I and most others seemed to have been rather disappointed.

But people say he's the SHIZNOT these days live...I wish I could see him. Must convince someone!

Maybe you should've seen him on a night when JOOF wasn't playing.

Originally posted by Clovis86 His new CD "At The Controls" comes out March 13th (my bday lol) All I can say is, its a really...really good CD. He's upped the bar. Holden is just on his own cloud doing shit like no one else.

yeah really enjoyed both cds...not as good as balance 05 but close and really easy on the ears..loved the relaxing house/ambient sound to the cds...overall very smooth compilation

8/10

omfg, god yes. At The Controls is just utterly superb. I can't wait to get the non-promo copy so that I can listen to it without that guy saying "this is for promo use only yada yada" every five to ten minutes. The whole album sounds as though he meticulously went over it so that it flows perfectly, and it does. A mint, mint album

At the Controls is FUCKING HUUUGE! then again Holden albums never disappoint, they just get better and better... how is that even possible i ask myself every time...

I completely agree. I was listening to his set at Flex Vienna. HOLY FUCKING SHIT! THAT GUY IS MUSICALLY SPECTACULAR!!

I know his secret though

need to hear this! *cough*

"I’m a dance floor favorite? Great! I would say the passion that I feel for the music I buy and the honesty with how I play it. I play the records I love not the ones that simply work. I’ve never taken the easy music option (which would make me a lot more money by the way) but chosen to push people a little. I try to draw people in a new direction slightly and expand their taste a little more than other DJ’s." - Lee Burridge

I loved, I mean loved his Balance release but honestly the bulk of his live sets I've heard are boring. And these have been somewhat recent sets too. They don't have nearly the flow of his productions.

Still I can't wait to see him live in support of his new release. And I will be at Tower Records the Tuesday it is released.

Now Pole Folders sets . . . ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sweet. Listening right now.
