Notable Quotes

❝ David Holmes (born 1969) is rightly recognized as one of the most skilled and original DJs around, especially after the release of the compilation "Come Get it I Got it" and the fantastic "David Holmes presents the Free Association".

❝ This is a real black album! An album that tastes of gin, of creamy bass lines, of sweaty nights dancing, of hashish, of sex... It’s an album like you haven't heard in a while and at the same time a very modern album. This is an album that is a shame not to buy.
