A self-taught musician, he learnt his trade as a DJ on a pair of Soundlabs back in the '90s and with 20 years of music knowledge under his belt. His encyclopedic house sets are as educated as they come.

A well-connected, amicable guy who always lets the music do the talking, James has amassed countless friends on the UK dance scene over the years, helping to throw parties and linking up with leading industry figures at the world's most important club events.

A lover of music for the right reasons, he prides himself on being a versatile DJ who can read a dancefloor and control a crowd any time of day or night. A master of sexy yet earthy percussive grooves, he's as careful to please a dancefloor as he is of preserving his own values as a renowned vibe creator.

“I want to make others feel the way I feel when listening or playing music. Witness the satisfaction people have through my judgement of music,” said James when asked about his love of DJing.

Keep your eyes and ears peels for a string of releases over the coming months...

Ahead of our fundraising show for Havens Hospices we are delighted to bring you one of the artists joining us in March, ASHBY.

ASHBY;

“Over the past year I feel I’ve really been exploring to find the right inspiration to perfect my sound. Going to festivals such as Houghton & Dimensions gave me such a buzz for the more underground electronic & break beat genres. This mix expresses the different sounds that I’ve recently been feeling”

- I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I made it!



Enjoy!

ASHBY - Noircast 16.

Slightly more downtempo and deeper than a lot of the mixes I've done for the series, but recently got a few bits out the wantlist I'd been after for a while like the first two tracks in the mix from Metro Area / Ian Pooley. That being said, does end up in slightly more bouncy and rolling territory, with a bit of techno even being slung in between the John Tejada tracks at the end! A lot of really nice tracks in here from over the last decade or so and some even older, a lot of favourites!

DamnSam - Road To YOON 23' Mix

VINYL: https://www.phonicarecords.com/product/snad-labyrinthine-ep-feat-huerta-remix-pre-ord-phonica-am/190938
DIGITAL: https://phonicarecords.bandcamp.com/album/labyrinthine-ep

No stranger to the limelight with a string of forward-thinking, sought-after releases under his belt, Snad joins the roster of cutting-edge artists bringing his spark to Phonica AM under curation of Luther Vine.

The 'Labyrinthine EP' opens with a relentless 4 to the floor club ready firestarter. Aptly titled 'Quark' hits the spot in all the right places. Its swinging drum work out and oscillating chords swirl to a frenzy and guarantee to set any a dance floor ablaze.

The A2 'Labyrinthine' boots off with Snad's unique take on UK 90s Tech-House, full groove, snare syncopation and whirlwind of off-centre synth cords, adding to his effervescent sound design.

The flip side opens with a killer remix fellow Berliner expat, Huerta's take on 'Quark'. The remix retains the destructive dance floor potential of the original and adds somewhat in the hypnotic trip out department. Full engagement is guaranteed from start to finish even for the more of an absent-minded listener on this one.

Snad closes the EP with 'Revival'. This cross-genre juggernaut effortlessly marries puncy breaks with dubbed out echos while the resonant synth chords and muddled vocal chops expand listener's perception of sonar possibilities to places few have imagined possible. One of the rare tracks which hovers on the fringe of experimentation but guarantees to move the peak time crowd of the most discerning listening habits.
