    Where the F is James Holden?

    Where is James Holden and why has he not been making any new music or can I just not find it?

    he did an album not long ago...was pretty average imo..."dj kicks"
    As for tracks...have not heard any recently and I do miss them too...some of his songs are just... WOW!
    I think he is focusing on growing the label...I know that Border Community is getting larger...and they did do a pretty good night in London a couple of months ago.

            He started wearing scarves, grew his bangs out and started playing shitty beatless music. "Hi, I'm James Holden and I'm fucking trendy now." Ugh, how do you go from making a comp like his Balance to putting out a crappy, self indulgent DJ Kicks.

            Music is the answer, to your problems. Keep on movin', till you solve them.

              we moved past 2002. Pretty much everything he did after his essential mix, his Balance effort and Fear of a Silver Planet haven't registered with me. He got really, really techy for a while and then went really minimal - a bit too much for my tastes.

                I wished he would produce the old stuff and the new stuff with a different moniker and keep both going. He had some amazing music for its time, and I remember catching him for a morning set at Earthcore, some trippy melodic shit.

                I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

                  yeah def need some new stuff from him that sounds like the old stuff...altho i really did enjoy djkicks a lot (had a special setting for it and it speaks wonder with those southwest airlines planes while laying in the park), i would still want him to bring back his vibe, balance style...

                  the guy is talented no doubt, just needs to get back on the right tracks again....

                      The last time I saw him, he was smokin some weed somewhere in here while he played I Have Put Out The Light ^^
