Saturday, 7 April

James Holden is one of the leading lights in the realms of electronic music. With each new project, the British-born artist and producer has undergone a remarkable shift in sound and scope, and his latest, The Animal Spirits, sees him reborn as a live musician and bandleader. Joined by Tom Page on drums and Etienne Jaumet on saxophone, James Holden & The Spirit Animals is a wild ride that unites the melodic vigour of James Holden’s modular synthesizer with a supporting cast of brass, wind and live percussion. It’s an expansive and psychedelic journey through the free-flowing jazz of greats like Don Cherry and Pharoah Sanders, traditional Gnawa rhythms and James Holden’s own folk-trance.

James Holden will also take part in a live edition of Resident Advisor’s weekly podcast, The Exchange on Saturday, 7 April.
