I don't consider his stuff house, it's progressive I guess. Too little high hats for house (for example).

maybe becasue of his song horizons, that sounds like trance to me, but i like progressive too, so i dont really care

I have to agree with Basd on this one. As you may see in my profile I'm a huge admirer of the "stuff" James produces, but I never wondered for a minute what style it's supposed to be. Who cares? The only time it mattered was on Innercity 2001 cause they had to put him in a hall. They chose the "progressive hall" for him, but I would have listened to him if he was in the "Full of shit hall" (yeah, I know, it doesn't exist but it would be fun if they had one ) as well. As long as he remains the number one dj I'll always go where he goes, nomather how they call it.

I've always wondered what it is with house and the box-mentality. Just enjoy the music whatever it's called. Grtz Crazy K.C.

This is prog house with trancey elemnts, theres much much more of a trance structure to Holdens music than a lot of prog house producers.

Hes not trance but he wouldn't be out of place playing a longside trance djs
