James Batty is a composer, pianist and harpsichordist based in London. He is currently an LSO Soundhub Associate.

Even before he first discovered the piano at the age of eight, James was fascinated by sound and music, and has been improvising, composing and performing ever since. He studied composition and piano at Chetham's School of Music, and it was there that he began to develop his unique musical language, which won him a place in the final of the BBC Young Composer competition. James went on to hone his technique at Trinity College, Cambridge, the Gnesin Academy in Moscow and the Royal Academy of Music. He has written for a wide range of musicians and ensembles, including Zoë Martlew, Mark Simpson, Huw Watkins, Cheng Yu (with Psappha) the BBC Singers, Carice Singers, Noxwode, CHROMA Ensemble, E-MEX Ensemble, Opera North Youth Chorus, National Youth Jazz Orchestra and Riot Ensemble. His music has been performed in Belgium, Italy, Poland, Russia and Sweden as well as around the UK. James’s work has appeared at the Spitalfields, Cheltenham, Norfolk & Norwich and Davos Festivals, as well as on BBC Radio 3, SWR2 and Rai Radio 3. His recent ballet collaboration with choreographer Cameron McMillan was performed by a dance company from the Central School of Ballet in 2023.

James is fascinated by deep history and its relevance our lives and challenges in the 21st century, and his work reflects this. His music also explores a passionate interest in language and the human voice, and in sound-worlds beyond standard Western tonality.

His songwriting work has been synced on BBC 2 and as a film composer, James has written the scores for several short films and documentaries, one of which was screened at BAFTA. His collaboration with filmmaker Shanshan Chen, The Outsiders, was presented at the Shanghai Biennale.

In 2016, James released his debut solo project, Sanctuary (Overtones and Deviations), an album in which he combined traditional piano compositions with electronic soundscapes, retuned pianos and other acoustic instruments. The music is introspective and emotive, and the album reflects his fascination with microtonality and just intonation. Sanctuary (Overtones and Deviations) has been critically acclaimed and aired on radio across Europe and in the US. Following on from this, James  collaborated with Grammy-winning producer Haydn Bendall to record his first solo piano album, Until I Set Him Free. The album is a collection of emotionally-charged compositions for which James devised a brand new spectral piano tuning, and is available now on Blue Spiral Records.

James is currently working towards a PhD in Composition at the Royal Academy of Music, supervised by David Gorton. He completed his Master’s studies there with distinction in 2021, during which he was taught by Gary Carpenter and Rubens Askenar. He held the Sterndale Bennett Scholarship, and was generously supported by the Ralph Vaughan Williams Trust, Stapley Trust, Sidney Perry Foundation, English Speaking Union and Oppenheim-John Downes Memorial Trust. Recent competition successes include being commended for the Priaulx Rainier Prize and highly commended by Michael Zev Gordon for the Alan Bush Prize.

Darragh Kelly is a composer and musician. He is interested in the ineluctable dialectics of the virtual vs the actual, subject vs object, the bathetic, the ecstatic, new music's ageing, and tonality's afterlife. Recent work makes use of AI, seeking to re-embody the output of neural networks and treat these systems as external organs of the body—a body in excess.​

Collaborators and performers have included Crash Ensemble, Heather Roche, The Smith Quartet, Darragh Morgan, Peter Brötzmann, Psappha Ensemble, Carla Rees, Michelle O'Rourke, and Elizabeth Hilliard. He received the 2018 West Cork Music Composition Prize for his work for string quartet, Blue, partly based upon the film by Derek Jarman. He is represented by the Contemporary Music Centre. In 2021, he received the Arts Council of Ireland Music Bursary, funding research and training in machine learning and a forthcoming collaboration with Irish composer and musician James McIlwrath. He has recently been awarded the Arts Council Next Generation Award for 2022, receiving €25,000 to support his work and research.

Darragh was a committee member for the Irish Composers' Collective for three years. He has studied at Trinity College Dublin and Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.

The rise of Jim Rivers aka Copy Paste Soul over the past 24 months has seen the elusive producer garner the support of the electronic music elite, with luminaries such as B-Traits, Annie Mac, Laurent Garnier, Claude von Stroke, Justin Martin, Skream, Modeselektor, Pan-Pot and Paco Osuna all supporting his soul-quenching sub-heavy rave inspired sound. By incorporating his love of Detroit Techno, Drum & Bass and UK and US garage into a finely honed style, Copy Paste Soul is leading the charge with a left-of-centre broken sound that is turning heads and pricking ears across the electronic music community. 
 
Releases such as his ‘Blink’ and ‘Look At Me’ EPs on the highly respected Exploited in 2013 caused respective storms, and remixes for the likes of Photek, Deadmau5 and Alex Barck on Sonar Kollektiv, as well as Hugo on Gruuv signal that his production nous is respected and sought after by those in the know.
High-profile gigs such as the O2 Academy Oxford for Annie Mac's Presents Party have had the industry talking and his terrace performance at Carl Cox’s Revolution Night at Space Ibiza in 2013 had the likes of Carl Cox, Loco Dice and Louis Vega all dancing in the booth as he closed his set. He rounded off that summer at Bestival and IN:Motion in Bristol.
The end of 2013 saw the return to Exploited for two more EPs, plus an outing on Gruuv which was supported by the likes of Laurent Garnier and Annie. CPS has also turned in official remixes for Topher Jones on Ultra, and also James Arthur’s new single. 

2014 saw a return to Gruuv for a three track EP, and the re-launch of his own label 2Swords. Now on it’s seventh EP with most of the output coming from Copy Paste Soul, his sound has attracted remixes such as Laurent Garnier, No Artificial Colours and dubspeeka. Continued support from the likes of Annie Mac, Skream, and B-Traits show that the quality in his productions continues unabated. As such he was asked to remix the likes of Clare Maguire & High Contrast, Kele Okereke, and James Wolf. In addition to his own productions Jim CPS has begun to shine a spotlight on a newer generation of producers, with EPs coming from Neil Browne and Jay Robinson.

Early 2015 witnessed him turn in a remix for Low Steppa, continue a monthly residency at London superclub Ministry of Sound,  and submit a remix for Laurent Garnier for his legendary FCOM. The summer months meant a four track EP on Suara called “Pong”, his single track release “Home” on Exploited, and then an EP on Intec titled “Hypno” in the autumn.

2016 has continued at a pace with a remix for dubspeeka on his Skeleton imprint, and a follow up EP on Intec, and another release scheduled for his own 2Swords imprint for April. Plus what will surely be a career highlight of playing b2b with the legendary Laurent Garnier at Nuit Sonores, it appears as if the Copy Paste Soul train is gathering momentum. So watch this space, sit back and have your soul soothed by the bass heavy beats of Copy Paste Soul.
