Breakout Dutch DJ, producer, and multi-instrumentalist San Holo only released his debut full-length, album1, a few months ago, but after a few years of swiftly rising buzz, attention throughout the blogosphere, charting singles, stellar EPs, and a live show informed by a rock and roll background, he’s far from a newcomer at this point.
