Quantic // Funk Friday
PRO BALL
If Quantic owns a wallet, it’s the one that says Bad Mother Fucker. He is one of the most talented musicians in the world. The British DJ and producer Quantic (Will Holland) is in a league of his own. Think the Meters meets the JB Horns meets St Germain meets the Dap-Kings meets Budos Band. His music draws upon elements of salsa, bossa nova, soul, funk and jazz. Holland plays guitars, bass, double bass, piano, organ, saxophone and percussion. My musical love runs deep for this guy. Don’t buy everything from his catalogue, but there are at least 50 songs worth purchasing. Tru Thoughts
