“Quantic has had a remarkably prolific and diverse career over the last decade, all now captured in the new 32-song double-CD anthology, Best of Quantic. With that in mind, I asked Will about his history as a producer, beginning in his early years, recording sample-based beats for TV licensing, up through the formation of the Quantic Soul Orchestra, with his collaborations with Alice Russell and Spanky Wilson, and into his major shift into Afro-Latin styles of the last five years.” Read more

“Because his catalog is so vast, it would be hard for a curious listener to figure out just where to begin in order to appreciate Quantic’s work. That’s why ‘The Best of Quantic’ is superb: It’s so perfectly chosen and sequenced that this is the Quantic album to begin with.” Read more
