errmmm...
When i think of "minimal"(just minimal) i think of Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Terry Riley and John Adams...probably the stuff holden grew-up with (well, that's what he is saying in his interview..."minimal classical")
But if it's "minimal techno/house" than it's "basic channel" all the way!!! (what is this swedish house mafia garbage anyway?Is it trendy?)
Nice lad though...and he has a very nice taste for music...My bloody Valentine, M83, 70s Kraut-rock...Bravo!
Now, is he going to release a solo-album or a band-album or something?! |

| It's always nice to read the thoughts of an artist you've admired for years, but unfortunately, and much like most of his recent productions, I feel it's over my head. Musicwise because he's evolved into something I don't enjoy as much. Over my head probably because I just don't know enough about what he's talking about. It feels like he's saying what he made in the past isn't really what he wanted to do, meaning what I love isn't really him. Well, boo-hoo, I'll survive. Still looking forward to his EP. |

In previous interviews he’s said that he wants his career to be judged from the creation of Border Community. Why?
“Because from that point it was entirely my own thing and what I believe in and my own free will. Before then it wasn't. It's that simple.”
Great interview btw, he hits the nail on the head quite alot here :) |
so your saying that b4 border community he was being forced to dj and produce techno & progressive house/trance by some bully ?
and that after that bully died he was able to think on his own ?
Personally the last great piece of work he did was his Balance CD. After that he completely changed. His first essential mix is a classic. That in hypocrite jumped on the bandwagon along with so many other dj's. |

I fail to see what bandwagon he has jumped on. Show me other people's prior sets who sound like his.
I'd like to know of any CD's which resemble At The Controls as well. |

As amazing as it may seem, it's not called music business for nothing. When you are signed to a label you pretty much do what they want you to, because if they don't like what you are doing, they're not going to release it. That is why a lot of artists create their own labels after they get a name for themselves - it allows them to do exactly what they want to do. |
