Our friends over at !K7 let us share with you a new James Holden track to celebrate the release of the next DJ-KiCKS (due out late May). Holden is a massive force in electronic music (just take a look at his discog!) Mastermind of an immense label (Border Community) and creating some of the more beautiful soundscapes in techno today, think ecstasy pills and Berghain, not glowsticks and 16yearold Bloody Beetroots fans.
Check below for his new track (and an older favorite), plus read a bit about what !K7 has to say about our British friend...

!K7 - "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 to the cerebral than those associations suggest. Head of the zeitgeist-defining label Border Community which boasts fellow forward thinkers Nathan Fake & Extrawelt on its roster, 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’."
