James Holden at Electric Circus Thurs, Feb 10

The shaggy-haired producer extraordinaire returns on Thursday Feb 10 headlining Adelaide’s first ever Border Community event. Crossing traditional genre boundaries, James Holden has found fans in almost every scene. His tracks slot seamlessly into the sets of techno, trance, progressive and electro DJs alike. From pixie-trance to leftfield dance music, new wave house to melodic techno, the genre-classifiers have yet to find a label which accurately captures the unique yet universally appealing nature of Holden's music. The last time he played here in Oct 2003 has become one of this city’s most talked about shows ever and a fitting swansong to Minke with Skylab bursting at the seams the entire night. It is only fitting then that he returns to scene of the crime, unleashed upon arguably the city’s finest sound system down in the basement at Electric Circus. Strictly limited number of tickets will be available only on the door but be warned, this night will be off the hook!

As this falls on my 21st, i may make it, or i may be unable to make it for obvious reasons

Paul has turned this place into the best venue in Adelaide - James Holden will fill it to the max. Can't wait to see him again!

Here's what some of the 'experts' have to say:

A few quotables to whet your whistle:

"Man of the moment!" - pete tong
"The best new talent to emerge post 2000" - dave seaman

i'll be there - is the basement at electric circus licensed?

sure is!
its the old minke!

just downloaded a mix from some miami radio station, i am loving his work!!!

i'm too young to remember the old minke! can you let me know the link for that d/l chica, i don't have soulseek

i dont know the link ilovetechno! how bout we do a swapsies sometime soon of our respective music? sorry bella... i got that mix offa slsk also

doesnt really bother me witch mixer he uses ... as so as long holden is there ill be happy as harry, or larry.

I finally checked out this venue last weekend for the first time since it re-opened. What an amazing job they've done!

I can honestly say, that I could not wish to see this man play in any other venue. (And I spent most of last year clubbing in the UK and Europe). It just fits with what he is all about as an artist and performer, and for that reason I'm sure we'll see him at his best!

nah, not this time ... but maybe do it for two tribes

Ok ppl, i've put together a short 3.5 minute video of James Holdens last adelaide appearance at minke bar to spark up some memories and get ppl excited for his impending appearance.

So if you were there to experience it, or especially if you missed out, take a look and crank it up.

Sound is compressed as little as possible but as it was taken in the club through a cam corder it is a little distorted. Cant really help that sorry! Shaky footage could have been helped but i was to busy enjoying myself so bad luck

Its a 19 MB DivX 5.2 Video file.. i can supply the divx codec if anyone cant get hold of it but its readily available on the web and i assumed most ppl would already have it anyway.

Sorry dialup ppl, thats a small as i could get it, the uncompressed file was 680 mb, for 3.5 minutes!

Enjoy!

i want the uncompressed file !



i reckon i remember you there walking around with your cam in the air like you just dont care

its not long now people

wow that's steady footage...

Yeah cheers for the sarcasm yancey. I wasn't there in a professional sense, i payed for my ticket and i went there to have a good time dancing and capture some memories while i was at it, not stand around like a git worrying about the camera having a shit night.

If i had been given entry to film the event for the promoter i would have stood still and held the camera steady, but i went there to dance, not film.. i figured some footage was better than nothing and i thought somebody might appreciate it.

According to Micah, the tech guru at EC, 600 will work fine with the system...

Courtesty of ITM-FM check this shit out:

[QUOTE=Brick]the only reason i'd ever set foot in that town again is for a New Editon reunion show... and you can keep your shr3dder.

Lies!

You and your Zabiela airlines. Stalkers ... as well as harassing poor dudes who are couchbound.

Out of interest ...

any quotes from Holden about Zabiela?
