A true devotee of the underground, Dayle James is a DJ and music lover whose journey began on pirate airwaves and continues to pulse through dancefloors and airwaves alike. Cutting his teeth on Fenz FM, he’s since brought his signature blend of classic house, oldskool and disco sounds to stations like Pure107, Unique Sessions, and currently Divine Radio London, where he’s held down a Friday slot for over seven years.

Rooted in Hull’s vibrant scene, he's become a regular at The Old School House (TOSH), playing for iconic nights like Curiosity, Preach, What the Funk, as well as Déjà Vu. Whether its sunrise sets in a rain-soaked courtyard or vinyl-only grooves for Resonate, he brings a deep connection to the dancefloor every time.

2024 has seen him play for Renegade Raves, Leg-it, and “We Need Some Love” at The Waterfront & Social on Humber Street with legends like Shades of Rhythm on the bill. He's also taken his sound further afield, spinning at Chambers in the North West, SCRUCLUB Birmingham, and Souled Out Sessions in Cambridge.

From funky Jackin House to Oldskool House and soulful disco, his crate runs deep. Expect nothing less than good vibes, hands in the air, and tunes to lift your soul. See you on the dancefloor 🔊❤️ www.daylejames.co.uk

Favorite quote  "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything"

Hi, I'm Jean-Charles.
I'm a music lover, but you probably guessed that if you're here.
I am proud to be a "Ch'ti". For those who don't know, it means I come from Northern France, a land known for its values of human warmth, simplicity, and friendliness. That said, I was "adopted" by the Jura region. It was there, through the Besançon International Competition for Young Conductors, that I discovered classical music from a fascinating angle that deeply left its mark on me.
I love the diversity of music and cultures. I have a special affection for the recorder, opera, piano, zither, oboe, clarinet, trumpet, pan flute, and harmonica.
My goal here, through my reposts, is to offer you a journey through time and space.
In this regard, I want to express my immense respect for Pandora Records. Founded by Al Goldstein, this visionary label chose, after ceasing operations, to release its entire back catalog under an open license. A large part of the tracks I share here comes from this invaluable archive. Thanks to their generosity, we can rediscover these historical interpretations (often on period instruments) that might otherwise have been forgotten.
Thank you all for the talent you share here.
Wishing you great listening and happy discoveries!

Lara Downes is among the foremost American pianists of her generation, a trailblazer on and off-stage whose musical roadmap seeks inspiration from the legacies of history, family, and collective memory. 

Downes’ playing has been called “ravishing” by Fanfare Magazine, "luscious, moody and dreamy” by The New York Times, and "addicting" by The Huffington Post. As a chart-topping recording artist, a powerfully charismatic performer, a curator and taste-maker, Downes is recognized as a cultural visionary on the national arts scene.Lara's forays into the broad landscape of American music have created a series of acclaimed recordings, including America Again, selected by NPR as one of "10 Albums that Saved 2016", and hailed as "a balm for a country riven by disunion" by the Boston Globe. Her recent Sony Classical debut release For Lenny debuted in the Billboard Top 20 and was awarded the 2017 Classical Recording Foundation Award.

Her Sony Masterworks recording Holes in the Sky, a celebration of the contributions of phenomenal women to the past, present and future of American music, was released in March 2019, debuting at the top of the Billboard charts. Her newest release For Love Of You marks her concerto recording debut, and celebrates the 200th birthday of the great pianist and composer Clara Schumann.

 Downes enjoys creative collaborations with a range of leading artists, including multi-instrumentalist/composer/singer Rhiannon Giddens, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, pianist Simone Dinnerstein, folk icon Judy Collins, baritone Thomas Hampson, writer Adam Gopnik, and former U.S. Poet Laureate Rita Dove. Her close partnerships with prominent composers span genres and generations, with premieres and commissions coming from Jennifer Higdon, John Corigliano, Stephen Schwartz, Paola Prestini, Clarice Assad, Michael Abels, and many others. 

Downes’ fierce commitment to arts advocacy, mentorship and education sees her working in support of non-profit organizations including PLAN International, the Sphinx Organization, the Lower Eastside Girls Club, Washington Performing Arts, and NPR’s From The Top, where she appears as a rotating guest host. 
Lara Downes is a Yamaha Artist.
