Completely different...but he does include the blackstrob - nazitrancefuckoff remix.


Its almost not dance music mostly, but its amazing music.

Originally posted by Lomeli 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

Yeah his mixing isnt the best...but damn that is a sick set!

CND, his recorded sets dont do him justice IMO, found him abit sleepy myself...but live...the deep dark floaty basslines kill you...the tracks are so minimal yet so intense.

+1 to seeing him live! when i saw him at avalon i just died, he moved right on up there on my list. i could literally feel the bass on my arms when he was up there. crazy

by far my fav...his transitions are seamless. personally, i love his live sets...vienna, haldiki, silverdome....all great (more recent) live sets.

Havent heard the new cd thats in question. Im pretty sure its sick. Balance is not only sick in my opinion is strategically constructed. wow what a cd!!! But as far as live, i think thats when Holden really shines. In October (1st time i saw him) from what my eyes and ears told me Holden was dropping some mad heat and his mixing was precise. Lavelle's trainwreck only made Holden sicker, but regardless the kid is talented. Zabiela and Holden are the new era and theyre getting better and better everytime. That night for me, almost *** and i say almost*** was up there with Sasha and Desyn. PIG

I might have to check Holden out live then. Problem for me that when I go out to the club I'd prefer hearing melodic trance than dark progressive house or techno. Maybe I'll go stoned before his set then try him out.

last time i saw holden was at WMC last year.

i really think he's in the new generation of house DJs. his sets AND productions are so bizarre...dude should start his own city because he's in a class of his own. his dj style reminds me of that kid in school that was in the back of the classroom, always causing problems.

I wholeheartedly support Balance, must have new one
