just got home from another serving of holden with a healthy dose of fun in the sun!! :happy2:
as expected he play more bangers, less tech and more melodic, as usual i met a few familiar faces from this board.. front and centre as always!! :toocool:
almost got pounded by a trashed 100+kg bitch(exaggeration), countless muzz stepping on my foot and drunken hippies shouting in my ears whenever they scored free drugs.. :rolleyes:
apart from all that, i'm glad i went!
babes are of good qualities too :p

Heh, tried to catch him again at the St Kilda fest this afternoon but we ended up getting there too late (I didn't finish work till 5 :-/) and couldn't find the stage anyway, so we just kinda ended up walking around in the sun for a couple of hours. Thank god for the eye-candy, otherwise it would have been a complete waste of time... :p
Anyway, yeah, how good was Holden on Friday? Wasn't too sure about what to expect but he definitely exceeded all expectations. Before Friday - even though I'd seen his tracklists take on a much techier edge over the past few months - I'd still have considered him a predominantly "progressive" DJ, but not any more. He may have an incredibly unique sound, but James Holden is now officially a tech DJ and a damn good one at that. His mixing has tightened up considerably since I last saw him and he's learnt how to program sets much better as well. Didn't spot much - got the Mayer mix of Superpitcher - Happiness, Sky is Pink, ADJD - Believe (think this was the track I was trying to ID for you guys, Gerry and Jules) and a few others that have slipped my mind for the time being. But yeah - that was one of the freshest most innovative sets I've heard for ages. Considering he's only been playing out for about 3 years, I think Holden really has the potential to join the elite level of DJs pretty damn soon.
Oh and I was only 3 hours late for work the next day. Go me. :stongue:
EDIT: Also, for the seven people that actually decided not to leave the club as soon as Holden finished, Dimitri Frost played a ing wicked, driving not quite house not quite tech set after Holden finished. Haven't heard much from him before, but he kept us there until the end. It was just a shame that there was no-one left to hear him by that stage. :( |

Got there pretty early and the place was empty but slowly it began filling up which was a good sign.
The dude before Boogs who was apparently an ex Salt dj done a real good job i liked his set. Boogs was ok to start of with then just got to cheesy for me. He played handbag house but all the different remixes..lol i think Gerry enjoyed it :D
Decided to go for a walk to the toilet, as u do, and hap[pened to bump into James Holden with his grey trench coat on..of course it always looks better on u when ur popular.
Holdens set started off very minimal and after 5 tracks the beat still sounded the same...he then got into some more chunkier and funky basslines which i didnt mind at all. He really went through all elements during his set from minimal-tech-psy-deep-and a little melodic at times. Dropping A Break In The Clouds towards the end of his set was an obvious highlight :)
Good to see the 5 strong TA faithfuls out in full force. Was good catching up with Gerry, Jules, James and Andrew..

*Petter - All Together
*James Holden - A Break In The Clouds
*Avus - Fancy Arse (James Holden Sunday Extension)
