James Holden winter tour

One of the world’s most revered DJs, James Holden has revealed four Australian club shows lined up for July as part of a worldwide circuit to showcase his forthcoming entry in the DJ Kicks series.

The Border Community leader was last here in 2006 in the midst of his dual releases from that year The Idiots Are Winning and At The Controls. As ever, his DJ sets were as unpredictable as they were prodigious. The DJ Kicks tracklist reveals he hasn’t lost the ear for atmospheric techno and offbeat curveballs, so it’s time to get excited.

James Holden tour dates, according to his MySpace:

Fri 23 July – Villa, Perth
Sat 24 July – Canberra, venue TBA (day show)
Sat 24 July – Chinese Laundry, Sydney
Sun 25 July – The Likes Of You, Melbourne
