Despite being just 23 years old, Will Holland started his career as a young producer and musician, he already had 2 records full of funk and jazz influences “Mishaps Happening” and “Pushin’ On” these ones rapidly became part of the BBC stations tracklists. In order to make his sound so rich and inventive he tries to be very close to his music, in some cases he plays guitar, bass and sax, so he is definetly a one-man orchestra.For his last creating effort he started a journey with just with a laptop and a very strongly defined concept, he went all the way to San Juan in Puerto Rico, Nigeria, Benin, Ghana and Ethiopia to collect samples, instrument sounds and voices. Among the guests included in his album are Noelle Scaggs from The Rebirth, Ohmega Watts and the Puerto Rican percussionist Tempo, which was a member of the marvelous Fania All-Stars. The result is a multiflavored record; every track has its own personality, but at the same time it sounds as a part of a whole, in my opinion this is very hard to obtain within an album, maybe that’s the main reason that it was chosen as album of the month.

After hearing some tracks, it came to my mind the belgian producer Buscemi, maybe because Buscemi and Quantic dare to explore those hidden roots of African music.
And, by the way, if you look at the dictionary you will find that Quantic means: “a homogenous polynomial having two or more variables” this definition works very accurately to define this album.

I hope you enjoy this album as much as I do.
