James Holden.. having quickly developed his skills and polished his production talent into a stunningly deep and gorgeous house sound. he has been credited by pete tong as having defined a new sub-genre all of his own, a sound described as "pixie-trance" and shared by the likes of sander kleinenberg and labelmate and collaborator main element , and whose influence can be heard in the work of numerous emerging producers. he has gained recognition from the cream of the big progressive djs, such as nick warren, who first picked up on horizons, john digweed, who signed james holden collaboration project mainline to his bedrock label, and sasha, with whom james has collaborated on a track for sasha's new album, and james has also appeared on numerous mix albums by the likes of anthony pappa, dave seaman and pete tong . his work incorporates the deep progressive clubby elements loved by these djs with a dubby, abstract and melodic edge, attesting the leftfield influences of bands such as labradford, mogwai, and fridge.
the impact which james holden's music has had can best be described by the reactions of key players on the scene:
.."james holden is absolutely amazing!" - nick warren
.."man of the moment!" - pete tong
.."the best new talent to emerge post 2000" - dave seaman
.."give that man a first!" - mixmag
