See more » Ambient, world fusion, experimental, chillout, electronica; these are just some of the genres Bob Holroyd’s music has been described as. But not wanting to be categorised, he has long pioneered music that crosses musical and cultural boundaries. Spiced with world influences, his music touches all corners of the globe and he has worked with such a diverse range of artists that his music knows no boundaries and becomes almost impossible to describe. Almost. Just think Brian Eno meets Groove Armada round at Mory Kante’s Buddha Bar, having cocoa down in Acapulco… and you’re nearly there. To date, he has released five critically-acclaimed studio albums and three remix albums, including remixes by Nitin Sawhney, Coldcut, Mogwai, Lemonde and The Album Leaf. His music appears on over 50 compilations and has also featured extensively on TV and films, including Lost, The Sopranos, Friends, The Secret Millionaire, Panorama, Coast, Horizon, The Nutty Professor, My Best Friend's Wedding and the Ace Ventura films. Other projects he has been involved with include recording the Islamic Call to Prayer inside the Regent's Park mosque in London. Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens), sang the Holy text and Bob composed a track around this haunting vocal. The voices of the Kalahari Bushmen feature on Bob’s track Looking Back, first released on a charity compilation titled Sanscapes to draw attention to their plight and struggle to survive. Neither spoke each others language but they each found that music can cross these cultural divides. The music of the Bushmen represents their 20,000 year old history and although their daily way of life has remained virtually unchanged for centuries, they are still a living, evolving people, perfectly demonstrated by the song they wrote after the experience of having been on a plane to England, Big Metal Bird. Bob has DJ’d at Cargo, The Big Chill and Union Chapel and is currently recording a new album called Glow. See less »
