New night launches at The End - James Holden’s Border Community with Nathan Fake live

April 23, 2007

Mark your diaries, cancel your plans – as Saturday 12th May heralds a very important date in The End’s clubbing calendar. James Holden launches his Border Community night at The End – joined in the main room by Nathan Fake doing a special live performance and Dominik Eulberg. James Holden’s previous sets at the club for Cocoon and Circo Loco have made The End’s main room seriously kick off – so to say we are excited about having him take over the club on a regular basis is an understatement.

If there’s one producer who can be relied on to buck the trends and do what the hell he likes, it has to be James Holden. In a current climate that seems obsessed with stripping tracks down to the bare bones, he manages to produce tunes with such depth that you could get lost in them -even equipped with an ordinance survey map, satellite navigation device and homing pigeon. In his DJ sets he rips tracks apart and splices them back together giving you snatches of what you thought you knew, before taking you somewhere else entirely.

He set up his Border Community label in 2003 with the intention of releasing “music that doesn’t fit into a category”. And he certainly seems to be fulfilling his aim: releases on the label jump from peak time techno to floaty ambient downtempo material, but all with a beautiful, slightly wonky, distorted feel and a nod to something more ethereal and other-worldly.

James Holden will head up the line-up at each Border Community night, joined by some of his fellow Border Community cases and like minded guests. At the first party, very special guest Nathan Fake will be performing live. Nathan’s debut album, ‘Drowning in a Sea of Love’ released in 2006, was a spine tingling collection of almost psychedelic-sounding surreal electronica, with stand out track ‘The Sky was Pink’ getting a fine reworking by James Holden and becoming one of the biggest undergrounds anthems of last year.

Completing the line up in The End is German techno wizard Dominik Eulberg, whilst Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet gets all experimental on us in the lounge. Up in AKA, the Luke Solomon’s Little Creatures residency, with guest Chris Duckenfield, digs up the finest discofied house and techno for your drinking, dancing and listening pleasure.

The launch promises to be a night of some of the most forward-looking, mind blowing music around – Border Community adds another fantastic night to Saturday night’s ‘As One’ parties at The End & AKA.
