Lotion Grooves: A Deep Sweltering House Hour (2022)

@jamesfrancesmusic - A Frances Friday Feeling [FEEL007]

This mix is inspired by years of good times in Leeds, with a range of sounds I might play in a peaktime Friday Feeling set. It’s a pumping journey through house-centric styles, from latin-infused rhythms to modern prog and breaks, sprinkled with garage flavas and soulful shakers.

Friday Feeling is our community party in Leeds, focused on connecting and supporting music lovers across the city and beyond. If you’re yet to come through, a warm welcome, new pals and wicked tunes await.

Big love to the FF fam and fellow party parents Anastasia, Abby and Liam. You’re the bloody best 💛

Enjoy the mix folks, turrn iit uuup 🥳

Faith In The Future: Love Ya Leeds 💙💛

A party-ready mix celebrating the hopeful air in Leeds currently.

As we near the end of 2024 and reflect on a rocky past few years, it feels like our scene has found its groove again. Thanks to everyone who's shown up this year especially, it's a huge collective effort and the future looks brighter for it.

Big love, keep believing and enjoy the music xxx

James Frances - Soul Potential Closing Set - Imaginarium - 4 July '25

No bigger supporter of all things Leeds than James Frances - apart from that time when he did his sold out all night long set at Imaginarium in a vintage Bradford City footy shirt (it’s ok, we are cities of kinship) 🏵️

Every underground scene needs motivators to keep things moving, and James certainly takes up this role!

Time to get him in for a chat about that sold-out-event-where-he-was-the-only-DJ-on-the-bill moment, his approach to DJing, why he loves Leeds dance music so much, all things Friday Feeling, all things Soul Potential and…life.

There Are No Genres - Music and Natter w/ James Frances (Week 215) // 26/07/2025

James Frances - 25.07.25

James Frances - 24.10.25

Leeds-based DJ, label head, presenter and party founder, channelling deep, soulful shades of house, techno and contemporary groove music.
