9688065b6747f920db8742b35669dd6b  

Due out March 23rd, to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nz

Half picture disc, half clear vinyl. Lord Quas with brick on one side, and his "insides" show on the flip. Delivered in a clear polybag. "Planned Attack" is from the album Yessir Whatever, and "Talkin Shit" is a short, previously unreleased track. Both featuring and produced by Madlib. Artwork by Jeff Jank. On the crime-infested east side of Lost Gates CA, there is a vinyl pressing plant whose brochure says, "will do anything for a price." Back in the 70s & 80s, they specialized in private press porno soundtracks, but these days Madlib is their only customer. Delivering them a couple Quasimoto tracks with a drawing or two, here's the record they returned: a custom-shaped, half picture disc, half clear disc, with thick vinyl. One side is Quasimoto's "Planned Attack" from the album Yessir Whatever, and the flip side is the previously unreleased "Talkin' Shit," a short track with Lord Quas doing what he does best. Both tracks are produced-by and featuring Madlib. Artwork by Jeff Jank. Pictured  is the front, family-friendly side of the vinyl. The backside of the record, the "x-ray" portion, show's Quasimoto disgusting insides.

GIG: Quantic (Dj Set) - Ponsonby Social Club - Thur Mar 6th

Written By 1 - February 24 2014

Quantic (DJ Set)
Thursday 6th March
Ponsonby Social Club
152 Ponsonby Rd
Free Entry
With support from Latinaotearoa.
  Quantic, aka Will Holland is a British born Musician, Producer & DJ making Soul, Electronic & Latin Music saturated in the tropical soundwaves of the Carribean. Currently working from his Sonido del Valle studio base in the highlands of Bogota, Colombia, Holland has developed a sound that bridges heritage and progression, marrying spontaneous musicianship with deep, exciting tonality. Holland is currently at work on his fourth Quantic record, which will be his fifteenth studio album to date. The album is to feature influences from Ethiopian Jazz to Haitian Compas, Salsa Dura from his Colombian homestead to Detroit techno, with electric sub bass and beat programming, All part of Quantic’s trademark sound. Holland records and mixes from his own Sonido del Valle studio where he utilises a range of vintage studio equipment, working as part sound engineer, musician and producer to procure a rich and original sound. Worcestershire born, Will Holland began his musical career at the age of 16, encouraged by his father, a Welsh born folk musician who worked in mechanical engineering & computer programming and his English born mother, a talented singer and folk enthusiast. By his early teens Holland had been introduced to home recording by his father and started to experiment with sequencing and programming. This, combined with a developing habit for record collecting, a household full of instruments and two older, musical sisters, it was only natural for Holland to setup a makeshift studio in the bedroom of their timber framed home beside the river Severn. After much experimentation, Holland developed a strong repertoire, eventually attracting the attention of ‘Breakin Bread Records’, a London based record label through which Holland released his first 45 ‘We Got Soul’. It was at this point his work as a DJ began to flourish and through a visit to Brighton he was introduced to label ‘Tru Thoughts’. In 2001 TT released his debut album ‘The 5th Exotic’ a collection of sample based songs mined from various lunchbreak trips to record shops and the diverse selection of instruments found in the Holland household, his two sisters also featured as guests. Shortly after the success of ‘The 5th Exotic’ Holland began work on the first Quantic Soul Orchestra record ‘Stampede’, combining live drum loops with Funk & Soul riffs to pay homage to the american Rhythm & Blues 45s spun in Quantic DJ sets. This was the era of the deep funk sound in the UK & the focus was on a raw, hard and incisive dancefloor sound. In that same year ‘The Limp Twins’ were born, a collaboration with Worcester based singer Russell Porter that saw their debut album ‘Tales from Beyond the Groove’ also released on Tru Thoughts records.
