Will Holland
‘The future of trance is in safe hands’- Mixmag
It’s heading towards the end of 2008 and Will Holland, now 26 is poised to release his 3rd compilation; the second in the critically acclaimed ‘Digitally Enhanced’ series, whilst his world renowned label, Enhanced Recordings is nearing its 50th release.
A lot’s happened in the short career of the young Englishman, who first came to prominence in late 2003 when he made his debuts at UK super-clubs Passion and Goodgreef, along with stellar releases on Bonzai and Hotdecks which saw him feature on BBC Radio One’s almighty Dance Anthems show 5 weeks in a row and received heavy support from the world’s djing elite.
2007 saw the launch of a new chapter in Will’s dj’ing career when he teamed up with some old friends to launch Digital Society, a brand new concept in his home town of Leeds. The monthly night, now approaching its second birthday has featured the cream of the nu-breed and the more established trance artists and has been dubbed the ‘saviour of UK trance events’ and ‘the Holy Grail of Northern clubbing.’ With recent tour dates at legendary UK night Passion in Coalville, ADE in Holland and London coming up this December, not to mention Digital Society Recordings (a new sub-label of Enhanced and managed by Will) and their first compilation mixed by Matt Hardwick dropping in March 2009, this looks like another rosy chapter in the story of Will Holland.
Add to that recent international DJ dates in most of Europe, including Eden and Space Ibiza, 3 Mixmag ‘Compilation of the Month’ awards, and finishing as a runner up in the ‘Best Mixmag Future Hero’ and you have some idea of the talent that Will possesses behind the decks and in the studio.
With his current release ‘Tears in the Rain’ doing the business with the biggest names once again, and two more hotly anticipated releases penciled for early 2009, along with a superb remix collaboration with Temple One and his critically acclaimed third compilation, Will Holland is one artist you simply cannot ignore.
