DJ-Kicks

James Holden may not be a household name, but to fans of adventurous, progressive electronic sounds, the British techno sorcerer and psychedelic shaman is renowned as a genius. So revered are his talents that he's been tapped to remix some of pop music most eminent stars, including Madonna, Depeche Mode, & Britney Spears, though as this mix demonstrates, his tastes tend more to the cerebral than those associations suggest.

Head of the zeitgeist-defining label Border Community Holden can count himself amongst that very modern breed of DJ with a special knack for layering the most surprising of records with an unparalleled musical ear. His status as a free-spirit unconstrained by genre or scene is now championed by independent stalwart !K7, who have called up Holden to deliver the next installment in their definitive mix series "DJ-KiCKS".

Holden's masterfully eclectic mix includes the first solo Holden single in four years "Triangle Folds", and his exclusive previously unreleased remix of Mogwai's "The Sun Smells Too Loud".
