Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by DJ Miss Ashley, host of the Variety Mix on Sunday afternoons, is "Run (feat. Andreya Triana)" by Quantic, from the 2023 album Dancing While Falling on Play it Again Sam.
For the past twenty years, DJ/producer/multi-instrumentalist Will Holland has crafted a unique blend of dance music under the name Quantic, mixing in funk, soul, bossa nova, cumbia, jazz, and more. The British-born New York-based artist calls his latest LP — titled Dancing While Falling — his most "grown up release to date."
Citing disco influences like Bohannon and Larry Levan, Holland explains, "’I'm really interested in Latin music and Afro Caribbean rhythms and I think there's a really amazing point in history where the emergence of those rhythms and its combination with American soul sparked what we now know as disco."
