Based in Riverside CA, past residences in San Diego CA, San Francisco CA and Dallas TX.

Starting out under the moniker DJ3 circa 1996, James Halon was a resident at Record Resource and played events in Denton and Dallas TX. Moving to San Francisco in 1999, James started weekly events with For The Music & helped found the music side of False Profit.

James ran the sound system for False Profit at 43 Norfolk and put on many amazing nights at the warehouse. He has also joined forces and played with many crews and venues, including Dub Beautiful, Ambient Airlines, Space Cowboys, B-Family, Eklektic, Future Breaks, Tenderloft, Tags Trance Trip, GrooveTech Radio, Anon Salon, Trust, Wish, Mighty SF, DNA Lounge, 1015 Folsom, and many more.

2004, James co-founded Cedub Studios and moved away from DJing to focus on production and engineering for local artists. During this time he helped create and launch Fake Science as a podcast, then expanded to online digital music distribution and A&R. He produced tracks under the Cell Culture act with Chris Walcott. He also produced tracks as The Clockmakers with DJ Yap, under the moniker DJ Bespoke.

In 2009, James moved from the Bay and headed to San Diego. After taking a longer than expected break to settle into his new home, James is built out his studio and has returned to producing and DJing. Starting in 2020, James began weekly live streams, featuring new, classic and original tracks focusing on all things House x Techno. In the summer of 2021, James was invited to become a resident of the San Diego based collective Digital Cocoon.

In the summer of 2022, James once again packed up and this time moved to Riverside, CA. There he has been able to expand his music studio and streaming rig, allowing him more time to write, produce and play music. He still regularly travels to San Diego to support and participate in Digital Cocoon events and other area shows.
