Music has always been an important part of my life, from a very young age it has been a therapy by allowing it to take me on a journey. I’ve enjoyed many genres of music however Drum and bass was always something that saved my sanity! Out of all the sub genres of DnB I have found the melodic vibes and stunning vocals of liquid drum and bass on point with how I use music as a form of therapy. After years of listening to this stunning sub genre I could not just simply listen to this music anymore I needed to be involved in it and so my journey began into the world of DJing and mixing. I promote events for PAPYRUS- Prevention of young Suicide; as someone that has been at that point in life many times but liquid DnB has helped me through, and living with lifelong mental illness and showing people the opposite end of the spectrum of Drum and Bass, it has shown me the light. To me Life really Is Liquid!

Biography

DJ Quantize a.k.a. James Barr, born and bred in Sussex, started out in 2004 performing locally at many house parties, pubs and clubs. As he progressed he was able to secure regular slots around the Somerset, Bristol, Southampton and Swindon regions, playing at numerous internet based radio stations, and is now the co-founder at Drum& Bass Network Radio. He was also involved with other various radio stations such as; Emergency FM, Bassport FM, Headrush Radio, Drum & Bass Express, DNB Radio, London’s Upfront Radio, BNB London Radio, Glastonbury FM and Ujima 98.

His early musical influences include DJ Premier, The Fugees, Cypress Hill, DJ Zinc and DJ Craze. James’ strong interest for music and his passion to succeed led him down the production route, taking on work experience at a professional recording studio in Chichester, where he acquired a taste to start writing his own tracks. Whilst still working voluntary for Airtight Studio's and enrolling with Chichester College for Performing Arts, this course included DJing lessons and practice, gaining experience including career development courses called ‘Gateway to Music’ with an open learning plan. During this time DJ Quantizes musical style progressed to incorporate such genres such as Drum & Bass, Hip Hop and Reggae.

James also performed at NASS Festival, somerset reggae festival, farm fest and has made a number of appearances at ‘The Godney Gathering’ where he received a supporting response from the crowd. He has already had the pleasure of playing alongside many major artists like; Nicky Blackmarket, Turno and Serial Killaz. 

With James’ determination, skill and passion to succeed, I am sure this DJ is going to go the distance....Amen...
