UK-based producer Will Holland (aka Quantic) has kindly offered up this exquisite mixed set of funk, soul and Afro-beat. Originally recorded for US college radio, Summer 2005 Mix clocks in at 30 minutes exactly. The set’s closer, “Feeling Good” by Holland’s own Quantic Soul Orchestra, features blue-eyed crooner Alice Russell and proves to be one of the better tracks on QSO’s 2005 debut full length, Pushin’ On. Holland has several stateside tour dates lined up over the next few weeks:
