Also from Holden's DJ-Kicks insert (thanks Meerkat):
| quote: | I suppose this CD is a manifesto, a biased rewrite of history, my tentative solution for the near-future. And my problem now is that it's much easier to say something with a synth and a drum machine, or a pair of decks and a pile of records than it is to try to explain with words what you just did. I'll try.
Let's start with the timing. Thank you fate, the chance to do this came at exactly the right moment. Music moves fast now, scenes and sub-scenes appearing and collapsing through every musician's Darwinian urge to try and be as similar to the successful apes as possible. The quick codification of parameters, the high-speed evolutionary narrowing of possibilities, the walls drawing in on us too fast. Dance music: as trad as four-chord-rock, defended by purist zealots as blinkered and as trapped by the defence of their self-assigned identity as were the fools-in-hindsight who didn't like Dylan's appropriation of electricity. And so precisely which cycle we're at the end of matters much less than the fact, the immutable, unmistakable Truth that we are at the end of a cycle.
No need to stop and mourn whatever scene it was that just dug itself into a hole, for holes are a good place to plant seeds. So here I've looked for people who stood outside the shrinking room, who through naivety or choice neglected to learn the rules as they were written. The artists who appear here are not connected by time or place or intent. Only a few of them would count any of the others as influences. But listen to them. They are connected. Something underlying, a biological urge towards a certain rhythm, a tendency to believe in magic and look for it at the point where the thinking mind gives up and just lets the musician play. The man-sweat and adrenaline of Kieran Hebden & Steve Reid's improvised live-take jazz-rave is 100% the same as the heat and tension James Ruskin conjured from his machines ten years before.
'Dance music' can survive my disappointment, there's someone born evey minute who hasn't heard it all before, but for those that have, here I present my version of music-for-dancing-to. Whether you actually stand up and move around doesn't matter. The music doesn't care because it isn't begging you to with cheap tricks. The dance you do lying in bed or driving your car or riding the bus is still a dance. Caribou's math-hammering chimes may not be backed by a beat, but try and stop your subconscious from moving to them. I realise my malaise and the optimistic polemic that goes with it might rile some: an unavoidable side-effect of needing to define this in opposition - this CD is as fixed by what it is not as by what it is. But I really don't mean to cause any offence, in fact I think we want the same thing: something exciting for our synapses to dance to, wild and free. RIP Steve Reid

new podcast on xlr8r by holden: http://www.xlr8r.com/podcast/2010/06/james-holden
Although it's been quite some time since trance resembled anything even somewhat creatively viable, James Holden has never been the average trance artist. Even when he burst onto to the scene in 1999 at age 19, his music contained a more thoughtful, melodic approach than that of his big-room counterparts. In the decade that has followed, Holden has only dug deeper, both with his own music and via his Border Community label, home to similarly interesting acts such as Nathan Fake. And while his remix credits include Top-40 staples like Madonna, Britney Spears, and Depeche Mode, Holden's output remains undeniably progressive—and we mean progressive as in 'genuinely forward-thinking,' not progressive as in 'slighty less obnoxious trance that pays lip service to house and techno but generally still sucks.' Last month, he unveiled his contribution to !K7's vaunted DJ-KiCKS mix series, so we figured he might be game to also put together an exclusive mix for the XLR8R podcast. It's definitely got us thinking that if more artists followed Holden's lead, maybe the dreaded t-word wouldn't be such an electronic-music slur.
