#015 James Holden on playing live, coding swing, and what he really thinks of nightclubs
James Holden, UK electronic musician, producer and coder behind Border Community, talks live-improvised shows, moving away from DJ culture, and building tools like a Max for Live ‘humanizer’. He describes making dance without strict beats, collaborating with Wacław Zimpel, and the thrill and risk of real-time performance. Short, candid, and full of technical curiosity.
