Artist Biography For The Quantic Soul Orchestra

The Quantic Soul Orchestra Is A Live Funk Project Initiated By Will Holland Aka Quantic Which Eschews The Use Of Samples In Favour Of A Rawer '70s Sound. Considered One Of The Main Acts In The Modern Funk Movement. Releases
- Stampede 2003 - Pushin' On 2005 - I'm Thankful 2006 - Tropidélico 2007 "Putting Something Back" Is How Will Holland Described The Reason For Starting The Quantic Soul Orchestra. Having Released Two Succesful Albums On Tru Thoughts Under His Quantic Guise - The 5th Exotic And Apricot Morning Which Fused Jazzy And Breakbeat Sounds He Felt His Next Musical Adventure Would Be To Focus On The Album Stampede. The Quantic Soul Orchestra Is A Live Project Strictly No Samples Allowed. Influenced By Mr Holland's Love Of The Dusty Funk 45's He Wanted To Record And Produce An Album With Creative And Like Minded Musicians. With Pop Acts In The 2000s Now Using Hip-Hop Beats Beats Which Are Heavily Influenced By Funk Records From The 70s It Was Important For The QSO To Make Their Sound Rough Raw And Real - It's Definitely Not Acid Jazz But Has A Deeper Funk Sound That Shows That This Music Is Well And Truly Alive In The New Millennium. Their Album Stampede Was Influenced By The Many Flamboyant But Often Poor Musicians In The 70s Who Loved Music For Music's Sake Who Wanted To Dance And Make People Dance. They Are Not Trying To Be Retro And Trendy Hence The Cover Version Of 4 Hero's Future Soul Anthem From 2002 Hold It Down. Sung In One Take As Vocalist Alice Russell Warmed Up Before A Recording Session It Was Decided That The Original Holland Penned Instrumental Should Be Replaced With This Version. Ms Russell Also Lends Her Soulful Voice To Two Other Tracks On Stampede Something That's Real And Take Your Time Change Your Mind. The Other Sung Track Finds John Hughes Adding Vocals As Well As Some Guitar And Flute To The Classic QSO 7" Super 8. The QSO Also Adds Afro Beat Soul And Jazz Influences To The Funk Sound With Musicians Dave Woodhouse Clavinet Rhodes And Trumpet Damian Bell Trombone Antonia Pheulatos String Arrangements And Violin Lucy Holland Saxophone Richard Gibbs Drums And Of Course Will Holland Himself Guitars Bass And Percussion Adding To The Variety.
