His Balance mix was a corker. He disappeared up his own backside when he started to faff about with modular synthesis.

ScottBailey it was dead by 2002. even digweed started to play proper electro like pollon - lonely planet on scopex. but then never dug deeper, like britishers in general. nothing but mediocrity in the dancehalls. in fact the other side of that scopex tash plak was better, authentic xenomorphing gender abolitioning electro, no nick cleggs big knob in the view of the mirror. But again, lazy south coast djs. what can one say?

    Reasonable chance Diggers only learned of Pollon because Cass was playing it/in an electro phase.

      Was that in the End years, the Manchester years, the Speke Island years, or just the made up years? You will be telling us next about your job in Massive Records, rubbing up to Jo.

          I like Holden’s At the Controls a lot. It had nothing to do with prog anymore. That was in 2006. Not paid attention much after that.

          Dry-Tinder If Ed and Fake Dermo’s lies overlap, is it like crossing the streams in Ghostbusters, do we get total protonic reversal or destruction at the cellular level? Will the board be simply wiped away from it’s mortal hard drive coil?

              zackster Billy Nasty certainly know of it at the time. he was releasing electro on tortured sublabel electrix after all. Slowcoach digweed!

                I tell you what, it’s been an absolute riot so far, and long may it continue!

                The stories would be a lot more believable if they had not been exactly the same as that disco diva’s (forget her name) in the back of Mixmag 20+ years ago. Almost like it wasn’t real.

                  Dan put delay effect on, noone will notice anyway

                    Dry-Tinder it’s likely to be true, to be fair to Ed for once. He did “study” at Oxford Brookes at probably a similar time to when Holden was studying at Oxford proper.

                      What an EP that was. Fucking belting remixes

                          Dan fuck, now I remember it. I think I have the vinyl too. I saw your post and went “I know the original, and the Rui Da Silva-remix, but this exists?” 😂

                          As I often say, old age is going to be AWESOME the way my memory is already in my forties.

                              zackster The Holden mix of Janiro is a crime against humanity.

                              Said no-one with an IQ higher than that of a marble, ever.

                                  Absolute tripe. The Lemon8 mix is better, and thats not saying much.

                                  zackster the original is crime against humanity even even before holden spunked on the vinyl to play. It is like yuppy post-rock band explosions in the sky deciding to make sad indie house. Diabolical! Holden at least tries to redeem it with fake reggae techniques, hence i said to dan put it in even more of the delay.

                                    Can’t lie; I absolutely love the original and the Rui Da Silva mixes.

                                      zackster degenerate trancecracker. i think that is what the kids say in usa?

                                        Holden did used to play at slide in oxford. Not sure I would say he was resident. He was a student at St Johns College studying maths i think.

                                        He certainly had trouble mixing tracks together

                                        I did used to go to slide. There is an outside chance Ed is telling the truth.

                                          Fuck me Flares, you’ve really excelled yourself. You are a pathetically unfunny, lying cunt.

                                            Another top tune from his “lost it” period. Fantastic title too. He’s quality.

                                              Only track I can bare to listen to post ‘I Have Put Out The Lights’ is this (and surprise surprise it has that James Holden “sound”: -

                                                My fake ID of Spongiform Lifeblood that then got taken seriously on just about every other forum was my greatest GU moment.

                                                  Was it Fadas who came up with Breaks & Banter? And was said track the Invisible Inc. thing Sasha used as an intro in 2003?
