Made Event presents the British master of eclectic techno, James Holden as he celebrates the release of his edition of DJ-KiCKS at Cielo on Thursday, July 8th, 2010.

James Holden may not be a household name in the United States just yet, but to fans of adventurous, progressive electronic sounds, the British purveyor of psychedelic techno is widely renowned as a musical genius. His talents are so respected that he has lent his hand on remixes for some of pop music most eminent stars, including Madonna, Depeche Mode, & New Order. Holden's journey began back in 1999, at just 19 years old when he burst onto the UK scene with the exuberant trance hit "Horizons". The track, which was produced on just a basic home computer set-up with freeware music programs, went on to open the doors to legions of bedroom producers who have now become the mainstays of the dance music world.

Also the head of the influential label Border Community, which boasts fellow forward thinkers Nathan Fake & Extrawelt on its roster, Holden can count himself amongst that very modern breed of DJ with a special knack for layering the most surprising of records with an unparalleled musical ear. His status as a free-spirit unconstrained by genre has now been championed by independent stalwart !K7, who have called up Holden to deliver the next installment in their definitive mix series DJ-KiCKS. The masterfully eclectic mix includes his first single in four years "Triangle Folds. Holden's edition of DJ-KiCKS is a musical manifesto that seems particularly well-timed. With the dominance of the minimal sounds finally starting to dwindle, the scenes of previously neglected genres are bearing ripe fruit once again. The assembled tracklist represents Holden's personal recommendation of where the flailing scene might best be driven next.
