Quantic is Will Holland. A British multi-instrumentalist, producer, DJ, remixer and band leader (Quantic Soul Orchestra). Coming onto the downtempo/funky scene early in the new millennium, Will's best release is the luscious "Apricot Morning" (2002). Here's a review: Just twelve months after his spectacular debut, Will Holland delivered his second solo album, 'Apricot Morning'. Critically acclaimed at the time of release, it's astonishing to think that anyone could produce such an accomplished collection of jazz, hip hop, Afro, funk, soul and solid [...]

There are only a handful of albums I have ever really anticipated like Quantic 's upcoming album, Tradition In Transition, due July 14th. This album could be truly amazing. "The Dreaming Mind" is the song in the video teaser for the album below and it's featured on Quantic's myspace page as well. It might be one of my all time favorites. Between the string arrangements and the funky percussion, it's a cinematic-style masterpiece that just kills me. If I like half of the songs on the album as much as I like "The Dreaming Mind" [...]
check Quantic's new project: Tradition in Transition: A Postcard from Cali (TRAILER) from Quantic on Vimeo . also here's a joint from the album:
"New Morning" is off of Tradition In Transition , the highly anticipated album from Quantic (Will Holland) and his Combo Bárbaro, which sees Quantic tapping into sounds from the Caribbean, Latin America and Africa and fusing those rediscovered psychedelic, experimental and rhythmically rich sounds of the past with deep funk and soul elements. He's assembled an international cast of musical creators, including the Peruvian pianist Alfredo Linares; revered Brazilian arranger Arthur Verocai; and British drummer Malcolm Catto of The Heliocentrics. I recommend exploring Quantic's entire catalog [Tru Thoughts] . [...]

Here's another pretty awesome music website that let's you create playlists you can share with you friends. It's called GrooveShark.com and it's got a pretty big library of music. It allows you to upload your own music so you can login from anywhere in the world and have all of your music. It also allows you to search for music and play full songs and albums. The way this works reminds me very much of Napster (the original Napster) since it seems like the search results are based on what people have uploaded. This is probably why GrooveShark [...]

QUANTIC FEAT TEMPO - SABOR - 2007
Quantic Presenta Flowering Inferno: Westbound Train Quantic Presenta Flowering Inferno: Make Dub Not War From Death of the Revolution (Tru Thoughts, 2008) Should have been on top of this back in the summer when it first dropped but consider the new Flowering Inferno album to be good, warm listening for the chilliness of winter. This is Quantic's latest incarnation, a close kin to the Quantic Soul Orchestra's Tropidelico album from 2007 except here, it's Quantic himself handling all [...]
There's a lot to be said for the new funk shit that's been dropping over the last few years. Funk & Soul has definitely made a huge revival, thanks in part to the internet and blogs like Soul Sides , but also due to alot of hip hop heads growing up and realizing that there is more to life than listening to Necro slice someone's throat open a hundred times or Jay-Z talking about how rich he is. I know personally, I grew tired of a lot of the run-of-the-mill hip hop shit. [...]

British DJ and producer Quantic (Will Holland) is a hard working man. He has released 9 albums and several EP's before his 30th birthday. Holland also performs with The Quantic Soul Orchestra and The Limp Twins. His music draws upon elements of salsa, bossa nova, soul, funk and jazz. Holland plays guitars, bass, double bass, piano, organ, saxophone and percussion. His music is phenomenal. I recommend digging deep into his musical catalog. Starting with Death Of The Revolution by Quantic Presents…Flowering Inferno. Quantic is currently based out of Cali, [...]
