Apricot Morning

One year on from his debut album The 5th Exotic‚ Quantic delivered his second album Apricot Morning and as one listen to it will show, the musical future is looking bright for this young producer who was only 22 at the time of completion of this album. Will Holland, aka Quantic, has developed a sound combining influences from jazz, hip hop, afro, funk, soul and breakbeats to forge a style that is truly original. The album has a melting pot of techniques and tempos that has influences from across the world but with an undubitably UK-centred sound. This is no doubt due to the fact that Quantics production expertise and musical skill has brought the best out of the talented British artists and musicians who he has collaborated with to help push the Quantic musical vision forward. This album received an incredible amount of positive acclaim from a huge variety of national and international press as well as club and radio djs worldwide. With this album, Quantic further proves that he can make quality music in a variety of styles that has the ability to connect with people from a variety of musical backgrounds which, is surely what good music is about.

Like Tru Thoughts compadres Bonobo and Jon Kennedy, who went on to record for Ninja Tune and Grand Central respectively, Quantic took his inspiration from sleepy 1990s chill and his samples from an enviable collection of funk 45s.
