British musician, DJ and producer Will Holland goes by the recording name Quantic and he has put together an already massive collection of eclectic material. Here's an artist to spend an entire day getting into. His solo outings as Quantic have been nothing but phenomenal club hitters that you can also get down to with your headphones on. He also plays with the Quantic Soul Orchestra, a project that moves a way from one man productions to live recorded music. Once you are done familiarizing yourself with him, go ahead and add him to your Google Reader because [...]

Some heavy funk business from the First Word Records camp today, who have unleashed their latest players, Brighton boys Ye Mighty, onto the masses. For the uninitiated, Ye Mighty are Max Wheeler (you might have heard of him from his previous incarnation as part of Dirty Diggers) and Richard "Dutch" Halligan. According to FW, Ye Dirty are "the latest product of the incredibly prolific Brighton music scene, that has brought the world the likes of Quantic, Bonobo, Nostalgia 77 and Alice Russell to name but a few."

I love free stuff. I'm an expert at surfing festivals, job fairs and supermarkets for free stuff. Not sure the lanyard, pen, snus tin count I've hustled using my spammy, hepatitis-filled Gmail account, but I'll never be without a place for my keys, a writing instrument or nicotine fix for the rest of my life. Quantic , UK producer/DJ Will Holland, has had a pretty awesome career. My favorite album Apricot Morning, dropping in 2002, takes break-beat, electronic, trip-hop to a fun, exciting new level-taking the funk meter and raising the bar. Total he has six LP's, albums, B-side releases [...]
Tru Thoughts & Quantic are releasing a compilation The Best of Quantic on September 13th. To celebrate they are offering a free track, "Transatlantic".
The Turntables on the Hudson crew is back with a new collection that reflects their work with Nickodemus and their NYC club. But Today's Top Tune comes from Quantic...
Le mariage parfait des musiques latines et funk, du traditionnel et de l'actuel, du numérique et de l'analogique. Le retour du plus colombien des producteurs anglais est toujours un événement. C'est depuis Cali que Will Holland aka Quantic distille aujourd'hui ses productions qui n'en finissent pas d'inonder les étalages des disquaires du monde entier. Imprégné depuis toujours de la musique sud-américaine, il travaille avec de nombreuses figures locales comme le légendaire pianiste Alfredo Linares , Arthur Verocai (Jorge Ben), Nickodemus ou Malcom Catto (Heliocentrics). Mais [...]
We previously heard from Quantic -- aka England-born/Columbia-based Will Holland -- when he threw together a great mix of dusty old Ethiopian records in March 2010. Since then, it appears he has split his time between digging deeper in the African crates and honing his skills on the accordion. He took up the instrument three years ago while diving headfirst into the Cumbia music scene. And one of the first tracks he recorded during his experimentation with the genre was "Cumbia De Dilla," Holland's own take [...]

Producer/Musician Quantic puts a Cumbia spin on classic Hip Hop tracks like Dr. Dre's 'Nuthin But A 'G' Thang' on an upcoming EP
The multi-talented Will Holland, who you know better as Quantic, appeared on our pages last year when he was promoting his very good Dog With A Rope album as the Flowering Inferno. Whereas that project got funky with loads of Latin flair, his new destination appears to be a different continent. Like Oh No before him, Holland looked to Ethiopia for inspiration. And he gathered a slew of dusty 45s to put together this ill mix of traditional joints that will hopefully inspire you, too. Or, at the very least, it should [...]
Hello all. I've been on holiday this week, so apologies about the lack of action of the website. This is just a quick one as I'm off again tomorrow for another week. It's a tough life, this... Anyway, here are some songs I've been listening to over the last seven days or so. There's a mix of brand new stuff - TVOTR and Flying Lotus - and old stuff that's been around for a hell of a lot longer than I have. Anyway, enjoy the songs and things will all be back to normal in a week or so. [...]
