As a self confessed 'split personality dj basket case', James Wilson aka Kid Blast aka Johnny Showbiz aka Ian Williams is a reclusive guy who seems to have more aliases than MI5. With a history stretching from the late 80s, he has been spinning records now since 1988 under a variety of names (“I change my name each time I start playing a new style of music, don’t ask me why!”), and has played at pretty much all of the venues that kickstarted the Northern rave scene, and supported all the UK bands that created all the music that was played at these early parties, before taking a break in the late 90s, re-discovering house as well as all the sounds that originally influenced the music he loved, studying music production at Manchester’s famed School of Sound Recording and spending several years running his own recording studio in the city, working with a wide range of local musicians and bands.

Now he is (in his own words) "finally pulling my finger out and getting around to finishing some ideas that I've been sat on”.
