The new album by Quantic aka multi instrumentalist, DJ, composer and producer Will Holland is in many ways an evolution. Now 20 years into his career, ‘Dancing While Falling’ is the British born New York based artist’s most live sounding, euphoric and, in his own words, grown up release to date.

Predominantly recorded at his own Brooklyn studio, Selva, Quantic’s initial idea for his new album was to experiment sonically. However, after a while, he changed direction and realised that the record needed to also relate to the human condition not just his “singular pandemic wormhole”. The demos, then, started off as symphonic, loosely disco era dance music a departure from his previous Latin and Spanish instrumental releases. Influenced by legendary artists in the scene like Bohannon and Larry Levan, Quantic wanted to make a disco leaning album at first. “I’m really interested in Latin music and Afro Caribbean rhythms and I think there’s a really amazing point in history where the emergence of those rhythms and its combination with American soul sparked what we now know as disco,” he says.

“I’m pleased to present to you all the Dancing While Falling (Deluxe Edition). I went back in on the album tapes and made some new longer versions with my fellow sound-system lovers in mind. Release date – 7th June!”Will Holland refashions Quantic into a full-blooded disco act on Dancing While Falling. As studied and distinctive as retro-contemporary disco albums by early Faze Action or Escort, it sees Holland and a host of collaborators turn out a largely celebratory batch of dancefloor nuggets that land somewhere between the Salsoul Orchestra and Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band. It’s the type of disco derived from soul, decked out in strings, horns, and Latin and Afro-Caribbean percussion — a Holland specialty — in a way that is intensely striking without being ostentatious. Central to the album is recurring lead voice and co-writer Andreya Triana, a richly graceful natural who played a similar role on Ben Westbeech and Kon’s self-titled album as the Vision. Connie Constance takes her turn on “Get in the Ride,” a bristling dance-punk deviation with a chest-quaking synthesized low end, while Rationale sweetly fronts the more soulful “Unconditional.” A pair of invigorated group-vocal belters can be found on the first side. An equal number of cinematic instrumental pieces are on side two. – Andy Kellman
