Re-locating from downtown Chicago to Los Angeles in early 2013, James enjoys the chance to share his love for real house music, detroit inspired house-techno, acid house, electro, ambient, dub and other properly heady dance music. His dedication to the rich musical roots of Chicago, Detroit, Berlin can be heard (and felt) in his dynamic vinyl DJ sets as well as live performance. His passion for the music is also extended through to his his ongoing studio efforts and DIY analog-style productions, remixes and collaborations.. ◁◁ USA gigs, residencies & appearances || 1999-2024 Rhythm Rapport | Dublab || LOS ANGELES Smartbar | Redno5 | W Lakeshore | WNUR 89.3 FM || CHICAGO Club Bleu | Movement Afterpart
