Atlantic Oscillations

Bringing together new players and concepts with a dance orientated sound that has enchanted fans and tastemakers across the world for nearly two decades, it showcases Will _„ñQuantic_„ Holland_„Žs artistry and rare ability to intertwine the electronic with the orchestral. The LP is the first Quantic album under his main solo moniker since 2014_„Žs critically acclaimed _„ƒMagnetica_„Ž, and since then Will has relocated to Brooklyn, where he has built his new recording studio _„ƒSelva_„Ž and taken a bi-monthly residency at New York club space _„ƒGood Room_„Ž, where much of this release was tried and tested. _„ñThis record feels like it grew naturally as I grew to know New York_„, Holland muses _„ñI had started the record with electronic sketches in Ableton but soon found that with my new studio setup I was able to record everything with live musicians_„. Taking its name from such a formidable weather force, the release aptly brings together Holland_„Žs global travels and the musical influences developed along the way. While _„ñAtlantic Oscillations_„ has its roots in Brooklyn, _„ñSeptember Blues_„ was inspired by Quantic_„Žs first long tour across the states. The west African feels of _„ñMotivic Retrograde_„ sit alongside the simple Marimba Motif of _„ñLa RefexiÍ_n_„, inspired by time spent in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. Written by the Colombian vocalist Nidia GÍ_ngora _„ñTierra Mama_„ continues the journey along the Pacific coast, exploring the magical and often mystical elements of the Colombian mangrove, with its title translating to mean _„ñMother Earth_„. GÍ_ngora features alongside other familiar Quantic collaborators, Alice Russell and multi-instrumentalist Sly5thAve, alongside New York based vocalist Denitia.
