James Holden

I think the difference between Holden and Thom Yorke is about 20 million quid.

Smallman1 Incredibly he played at the Medicine Bar (remember that?) and waved half of his fee one night for my mate who’d booked him as he was into what they were doing. Good job too as he couldn’t mix a vodka and orange.

Millsy

Holden made the mistake of turning his back on the progressive lifestyle, and then his brain prolapsed.

Millsy lol

Smallman1

He could have been the new DJ Tennis.

What a looser.

Holden I’m talking about, not Millsy.

I’ll never forget how everyone and their mothers couldn’t stop raving about his At The Controls mix, only to come back a year later to say it was noisy rubbish.

Smallman1 It’s basically Sasha’s Fundamental (or Bloodlock?) remade by someone battered on mushrooms.

Lightfoot

Did somebody say ‘blatant self promotion’?

zackster

Don’t believe anyone did, no

Smallman1

Dan Good job too as he couldn’t mix a vodka and orange.

Lol!

Remember Holden playing the Soundshaft at Bedrock and me quite enjoying it. Was the start of the Border Community stuff so the tunes were good and I was absolutely spangle dangled which would have helped.

benson

Millsy Yup. I was there also and it was good, but his set at slide at the zodiac in oxford was truly truly appalling

Smallman1

Do remember the Medicine Bar, saw Carl Craig there.

Not the best night I’ve ever had.

Smallman1

Got Holden down as an anti-vaxxer.

Cheers!

Going by his appearance seems the sort that covid would ravage.

Watched him live once, the mixing was dire, the track selection not so bad. But he was extremely approachable at the end of the night, and just seemed like a very sweet guy. Letting the punters come in and mess around with his gear and having a laugh.

He also ended with this, which is an absolute banger… always goes down hard on a club system:

This has never gone down hard anywhere.

Wonder if he’s still with that manager girlfriend of his that caused a ton of trouble for promoters, terrible reputation and apparently extremely difficult to work with.

Did someone mention Oxford?

benson

Cankles-McJeggings Lolz. Edward can tell you all about the scene there. Slide was a pretty good night for the provinces.

benson

Cankles-McJeggings Also there was quite a cool record shop. You might have worked there 🤣

Smallman1

Slide was a great night!
