DJ-Kicks: Quantic

An artist whose reputation has long been forged by his engagement and musical exchange with local scenes and cultures from across the world, Quantic has a vast discography of electronic releases spanning two decades. His work ranges from focused solo productions and intimate collaborations to expansive ensemble projects.

Now, the multi-instrumentalist, DJ, composer, and producer Will Holland delivers his DJ-Kicks compilation, which fittingly radiates friends and family energy. Quantic reached out to the wide-ranging music connections he has made during his 20-plus-year career, gathering artists' music for the mix.

"It's not like writing an album; you're at the mercy of what other people are creating," he reflects of the mix's creation. "Fortunately, the homies' submissions were of an extremely high calibre!" The mix bursts with unreleased exclusives and places the art of curation at its core, giving listeners space to explore the songs and sonics that resonate the most.

The DJ-Kicks compilation includes new music from Quantic alongside another of his aliases, Sobredosis, creating a mix teeming with vitality. Quantic's tempo-changing DJing style, which has built him a strong community of fans over the past decade, is showcased in the mix.

This DJ-Kicks is the latest installment in Quantic's ever-evolving artistic trajectory, encapsulating moments when the gloaming disappears into darkness. Will Holland's dedication to melodic and percussive expression alongside continued musical collaboration is what makes his edition of DJ-Kicks such a rare beauty.
