I've always been a huge Holden fan for a long time and after seeing him live yesterday for the first time since around the 'Sky Was Pink' came out all I can say is wow.
A few years back he was an okay DJ but he's really really stepped up his game. He was by far the best DJ at Electric Zoo. His set was incredibly programmed, mixing/looping/EFX was spot on and the music he played was just 100X more interesting that the boring minimal infused stuff everyone else was playing all day.
He's gotta put out another mix CD. I listen to At The Controls way more than any GU or Fabric mix. I think that says a lot on how well this has and will age.
Where we can grab Holden's set from Electric Zoo Festival? I see some sets that Sirius broadcasted, but James isn't there.
Cheers

Maybe it hasn't been posted yet, idk. But it was insane.
I saw him 2 days ago and... BORING ! his older productions are gold, but now it's mostly boring stuff..

the man's a true EDM genius. his every production in what i call the "golden age" 2000-2003 is pure gold with palladium droplets. i know he's been deep down into minimal/noize/wtf for the past several years
