Originally from London, James started out in the mid 90’s through the early days of the US & UK Garage explosion that took over the capital’s airwaves and dance floors. He took great influence from the major players of the time such as Masters at Work, Armand Van Helden, Roger Sanchez, Tuff Jam, MJ Cole, DJ EZ, Grant Nelson and Todd Edwards. In the mid 2000’s however, James started to grow a love for a funkier type of House Music which has carried on right through to the here and now.
With great influence from his mothers love of Funk, Soul & Disco originating in the 70’s coupled with his own grounding across the various House and Garage genres, James’s style can best be described as ‘funk, bump and grit’ with a constant 4totheFloor or 2-Step rhythm flowing through it.
“I just love playing with energy and passion, channeling what comes through my heart onto the listener. Genre’s can be somewhat overrated and have a tendency to create limits, I generally don’t think anyone really cares, as long as the vibe is right for the moment and the atmosphere is alive and kicking!”
In January 2022, James ended an 18 year hiatus from behind the decks and is now beginning to make big strides at great pace within the industry. With his high energy and free flowing style, he has performed at some of London’s major spots including Ministry of Sound and Egg as his ascension continues.
