Will Holland also known as Quantic is a DJ originally from the UK and currently based in Columbia. He is deeply into the whole remix and club music culture. Using a number of personas including Quantic Soul Orchestra, he has released numerous albums and he also writes and produces as well.

Quantic Soul Orchestra is hard to pin down, throw together a Latin beat, a brace of horns, hip hop vocals and the old reggie guitar and that doesn’t really do it justice. It’s a hodge podge of influences and fusions that snake around each other and
somewhere in that dance Quantic Soul Orchestra have created something quite edgy and very hot.

“Putting something back” is how Will Holland described the reason for starting The Quantic Soul Orchestra. Having released two succesful albums on Tru Thoughts under his Quantic guise – The 5th Exotic and Apricot Morning (which fused jazzy and breakbeat sounds), he felt his next musical adventure would be to focus on the album you have in your hands. The Quantic Soul Orchestra is a live project, strictly no samples allowed. Influenced by Mr Holland’s love of the dusty funk 45′s, he wanted to record and produce an album with creative and like minded musicians.
