Quantic, the moniker of British musician, DJ, and record producer Will Holland, has become synonymous with innovative global sounds that blur the lines between electronic, funk, soul, and traditional world rhythms. Hailing from Worcestershire, United Kingdom, Quantic’s career began in the early 2000s, when his deeply-sampled, jazz- and soul-tinged productions garnered attention in the UK’s burgeoning downtempo scene. Over the years, Holland has evolved into a musical polymath, moving to Colombia and immersing himself in Afro-Colombian and Latin American music, which infused his later works with vibrant cumbia, salsa, and tropical flavors.
As both a solo artist and the leader of collaborative projects such as The Quantic Soul Orchestra, Flowering Inferno, and Ondatrópica, he has released a prolific catalog on labels like Tru Thoughts and Tru Thoughts, constantly pushing genre boundaries while championing analog recording techniques and live instrumentation. Known for his passionate crate-digging and commitment to cross-cultural collaborations, Quantic’s music seamlessly builds bridges between the sounds of his UK heritage and the rich rhythms of Latin America, earning him a dedicated global following and critical acclaim across the electronic and world music landscapes.
