‘IMAGINE THIS IS A HIGH DIMENSIONAL SPACE OF ALL POSSIBILITIES’
James Holden
(2023 Border Community)
O produtor e DJ techno inglês James Holden começou por fundar a editora Border Community para depois se estrear com o álbum ‘The Idiots Are Winning’ (2006 Border Community), lançar o mix-álbum ‘DJ-Kicks James Holden’ (2010 !K7) e o aclamado ‘The Inheritors’ (2013 Border Community), a que se seguiu ‘The Animal Spirits’ (2017 Border Community).
James Holden regressa agora com ‘Imagine This Is a High Dimensional Space of All Possibilities’ e a sua sonoridade techno/house com influências folk/psychadelic. O novo álbum, de 12 temas, representa um regresso às pistas de dança. Com recurso a texturas oscilatórias, canto de pássaros, sinos e arpas, sintetizadores gelados, elementos repetitivos e sons rituais, o resultado é hipnótico e transportador.
“A dance album like no other. The acclaimed British producer has created the vintage rave soundtrack he would have wanted as a teenager. The result is magnificent.”
The Guardian
“It's meant to be experienced in one fell swoop. Once the record works its magic on you, it'll be hard to pull out a single moment.”
Resident Advisor
“The way these surprises are smuggled in via skilful sonic illusions attests to James Holden’s wide listening habits, and his judgement for bringing different sounds together like an old school studio producer.”
