Quantic, aka Will Holland, has announced Atlantic Modulations, a remix EP culled from material taken from his acclaimed new album Atlantic Oscillations, due out November 22 on Tru Thoughts, sharing the “September Blues (Dan Shake Remix)” today. Holland was featured in Rolling Stone with Atlantic Oscillations the BBC 6Music ‘Album of the Day’ and Paste including the album in their “Albums We’re Most Excited About In June” column, stating, “Few understand the global rhythmic pulse like Quantic… single “You Used To Love Me feat. Denitia” is nothing short of divine.” Quantic and his band also performed on WNYC’s Soundcheck program, prior to Holland heading out on a North American tour both supporting Bonobo, along with a run of headlining sets.
“September Blues” is granted the heavyweight house treatment by Moodymann-stamped-seal-of-approval, Dan Shake. Adding his well-loved mesh of sparky acid synths, Brazilian samba percussion and itchy groove-funk to the song, “September Blues (Dan Shake Remix)” becomes a peak-time contagious weapon.
Having recently relocated to Brooklyn, built his new recording studio ‘Selva’ and taken up a bi-monthly residency at New York club space ‘Good Room’, the essence of the New York club scene continues to radiate throughout this release; particularly inspiring his “You Used To Love Me ft. Denitia (Selva Remix)”. The recordings, journeys and projects along the way have all played a role in the creation of Atlantic Oscillations.
“This record feels like it grew naturally as I grew to know New York”, Holland muses “I had started the record with electronic sketches in Ableton but soon found that with my new studio setup I was able to record everything with live musicians. I think that the Quantic sound has always been around making electronic music more natural sounding and including live sounds that make you almost forget its electronic in nature, until something hits you in the face.”
World-renowned British producer Quantic will tour Europe on his ‘Atlantic Oscillations Live Tour’ later this year, presenting his most cohesive and intricate album to date. Bringing together new players and concepts with a dance orientated sound that has enchanted fans and tastemakers across the world for nearly two decades, it will be a live show not to be missed.
