In 2003, he assembled The Quantic Soul Orchestra, a new project aimed at producing 60s/70s style raw funk, playing guitar himself, and featuring other musicians including his saxophonist sister, Lucy Holland."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.nme.com/artists/quantic )〕 In 2007, Holland moved to Cali, Colombia.
