David Holmes “Let’s Get Killed” (1997)
Belfast DJ/Producer David Holmes started DJing in local bars in his
teens, playing a widely eclectic mix of music. When he was 17 he
travelled to the US and recorded overheard conversations on a portable
recording device. Some of those bits of dialogue turn up here.
The dialogue is mixed with dance and hip-hop beats. Sounds of jazz, funk and a range of other genres are wrapped in too. The title track in particular weaves Holmes' found sounds through a moody electro soundscape that builds into a creepy drum and bass workout.
Holmes' sound was almost cinematic in its narrative approach and mix of
styles... not surprising then that he would go onto score a large number
of movies, including the "Oceans Eleven" trilogy.
