alistair The feedback from my mate was that Holden was obviously highly intelligent but looked really awkward poolside in Miami šŸ¤£

Think Will from the inbetweeners.

    Also Holden used to moan that the scene was full of old Producers/DJā€™s in their 40ā€™s. Heā€™s 43 and still going?

      Dan Heā€™s always been a musician first (when did he last DJ?) and in my humble opinion, his latest album is a career highlight. Outgrew the confines of ā€œthe sceneā€ early on. Lawlerā€™s merely a DJ that had his day

          alistair I wouldnā€™t say Lawler has had his day as heā€™s still booked out regularly.

          Iā€™m no fan tbh.

            Funky It doesnā€™t matter whether they had ghost writers. Youā€™re talking about djing, not producing. How about you name a producer thatā€™s now a DJ that is better than Sasha was at his peak?

              Dan Heā€™s playing live. Was hoping to catch him myself but there isnā€™t a London show yet. Appears to be a lot busier on RA than Lawler šŸ¤£

                  Pretty sure I saw him billed in April for a London show.

                    He was in Folkestone the other week.

                    He was decent around then, when he got his shit together.

                    All said and done Holden ā€˜DJingā€™ for want of a better term, was and still is one of the worst things live Iā€™ve ever heard. I mean it was absolutely abysmal on every level. We left after about an hour. He looked like a heroin vagrant whoā€™d found someoneā€™s records in a bin.

                    Amps His Firin Off (?) covermount CD was excellent.

                    I saw him twice IIRC, once at Gurnmills, maybe once at Tribal Sessions.

                    The time I saw him at Gurnmills he was wank, just playing one tribal banger after another, almost no attention to sequencing or mixing.

                        Did Holden get rid of his druggy manager girlfriend from the 2000s, or is he still with her?

                        • Dan replied to this.

                          rhouses By the look of him Iā€™d say they are still happily together.

                              Beat me to it - it still gets the occasional spin.

                              (itā€™s ā€˜Warminā€™ Up / Firinā€™ Offā€™, two discs)

                                Think you might have caught him on an off day, or I caught him on a good day. Smashed the Cream main room iirc.
