Will Holland aka Quantic is one the most prolific and innovative working
producers today. What started back in 2000 with a little known 7 inch has turned
into a long and varied career where he has bridged the gap between raw funk
inspired drums, Latin driven rhythms , African percussion and his unique brand
of musicianship. Quantic has released many albums in various guises and has
DJÆed and performed worldwide with musicians of the highest caliber.
QuanticÆs story is a long and winding narrative whose chameleon like
sensibilities has perfectly paralleled a lot of the aesthetic interests of many
of the left field dance producers of the last decade. When he first came onto
the scene he turned heads in the hip-hop and alternative dance music scenes by
releasing two albums of thick funk driven breaks coupled with hazy atmospheric
psychedelia that featured the emerging talent Alice Russell. Whereas there were
other producers working in this mold during that time, there was something
different about QuanticÆs approach, a distinct template that hinted at something
more dynamic in the works.
In 2003 Quantic released ô The Quantic Soul Orchestraö an LP that showed an
incredible amount of growth, pushing the boundaries of Latin, Soul, Funk, and
Brazilian with Will HollandÆs multi-instrumentalism on display. Since then he
has released another album under the same moniker with a more tropical dub
approach that garnered critical acclaim for its expanded horizons. He has since
released many 7 inches, underground mixes and full albums. His upcoming album is
entitled ôTradition in Transitionö, with his band ôQuantic and his Combo
Barbaroö, a record that features the famed drummer and record collector Malcolm
Catto and the legendary orchestral composer Arthur Verocai. It is an album that
treads new ground for Quantic fusing Caribbean, Latin and African influences
with an explorative and rhythmically deep approach to traditional folkloric and
experimental sounds.
In 2007 Quantic moved to Cali, Columbia where he has been digging for lost
unknown treasures of cumbia, salsa and latin funk. This t-shirt collaboration
with Quantic entitled ôStreams of New Music from Old Sourcesö includes a mix cd
full which is the work of networking and digging on the front lines of Cali
Colombia and what came together is nothing short of breathtaking. It is a mind
melting amal- gam of cumbia funk, African inspired salsa, and Colombian vocal
tracks that put you front in center of Latin American musi- cal history.
