Releasing under Autektone, Orange Recordings, Agile Recordings, IAMT, Prospect Records, Renesanz, and many others.There is a saying: "God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers." There could not be a more fitting phrase for this hardened, gifted, and painfully underestimated Techno artist. Hailing from Fairfax County and Alexandria City, VA in the outskirts of Washington, D.C., he had no choice but to develop as an artist completely through his own exploration and self-teaching. At the very young age of 15, while visiting his mother's family in Valencia, Spain, he and his Spanish friends would sneak into some of the 'ruta del bakalao''s most renowned clubs like Puzzle, Chocolate, Barraca, Spook, and various others. Bitten by the electronic music bug and back in D.C., at age 16 he passionately began to spin on vinyl turntables in his parents' basement, developing a love for Gabber, Industrial Hardcore, Chicago Hard House, UK Hard House, Acid Techno, and many more of the scene's most underground subcultures in Electronic Music. With nobody there to help, he truly is a prime example of a self-made DJ and music producer. Washington, D.C., a rough city that until very recently had no club scene, James D has had to struggle with the hard fact that it is not what you know, but who you know to get ahead fast, especially in today's Techno scene. Those turntables (and over 500 vinyls) would follow him to Spain, UK, and now Czech Republic, along with an Access Virus TI2 Polar synthesizer, a Mac computer, and loads of analog and software studio gear he has mastered over the years to start driving at his true calling. Having already signed to various enviable labels in the world, receiving played and Beatport charted supports from some of today's top producers and DJs like Monika Kruse, Deborah De Luca, A*S*Y*S, Roberto Capuano, Spartaque, Zimmz, Nakadia, Gaston Zani, Anna Reusch, Drumcomplex, Sisko Electrofanatik, Irregular Synth, Oscar Escapa, and various others, and also having several of his songs and remixes in Beatport's Top 100 tracks and releases, his impact on the Techno scene is imminent, especially since he only moved to the genre very recently from the hardcore scene. His sound is driving, peak-time, emotive, and very thematic, usually revolving around the concepts of perseverance, street life (crime), and profound intellectualism over materialism. Doing this for undying passion and not fashion, he holds the deepest respect for the original tradition of Techno music as it came into existence in the slums of Detroit, practicing the music like a martial art. With all of the above-mentioned numbers and facts in mind, only time will tell what great things this promising producer will bring to the scene in upcoming years -- patience and perseverance will make this not a question of "if", but "when".
