Quantic Is a One-Man Music Factory: The producer-DJ-multi-instrumentalist combines his many interests on ‘Atlantic Oscillations’
Any time you catch a DJ set from Will Holland, who spins and produces as Quantic, there’s sure to be at least one transfixing moment on the dancefloor.
In 2017 at Good Room in Greenpoint, the jolt came from a simple tribute to Prodigy of Mobb Deep, who had died that week: Quantic opened his set with the austere, unimpeachable boom-bap of “Shook Ones, Pt. II” before venturing into more ferocious energies — cumbia, salsa, dancehall and the euphoric electronic dance music of Lindstrom.
Holland is as prolific as he is unpredictable, with more than 20 full-length projects to his name. “My greatest fear is having a backlog of stuff that I can’t release; people saying, ‘no, you have to wait four years,'” he says. “People are like, ‘don’t make records that fast!’ But I’m into the old-school labels: The Motowns, the Blue Notes, these historic labels where they had systems in place where it was almost like a factory. Now I just need some factory staff.
The pushiness of these songs is at odds with some of the lounge-friendly music Holland made early in his career. But he finds a way to nod to that chapter as well. “The Quantic thing initially was very electronic — it started in sampling and became electronic,” Holland says. To return to that style, much ofwas started on synthesizers. “You Used to Love Me,” with its entangled, entangling synth patterns, was the first song he wrote for the album.
