I think Triangle Folds is great. Granted the drums fall a little flat, but that's nothing a little editing can't fix. In any case, this obviously wasn't designed to be a club track.

However:

Agreed. This is one of my favorite moments in DJ Kicks.

I love everything he's done recently. It feels and sounds real and it's more unpredictable which I think adds a lot more depth to a track.

love the vagueness of "its horrible."

lol.

Gotta love internet judges of music.


It sounds like something that would have fit on At The Controls. Wondering how old it is.

I liked the old holden. His best was his remix of first light by ogenki clinic.

He has clearly changed. Fair play to him.

Still solstice was dope as well

this- apart from his awful profile pic on the dj kicks comp. i dunno why people keep hailing "horizons" like it's some sort of masterpiece- that track has NOT aged well, at all. you can really tell he had limited resources to create that track.

He was a maths student at oxford at the time when he did horizons.

I always preferred the Way Out West remix of "Horizons" to Holden's original.

Favorite tune by him by far is "I Have Put Out The Light," though I love the original Nothing and all of his old prog releases.

Definitely miss his older proggy stuff, but as someone else said, that sound (dare I say, McProg) left the scene over 5 years ago.
