James Dutton Biography
In what seems like no time at all, UK based DJ and producer James Dutton has been quietly
making a much-deserved name for himself as a purveyor of well-crafted House. With an
extremely successful ongoing residency at Amnesia in Ibiza and a collection of killer tracks
released on a selection of highly respected labels, his fresh and unique take on contemporary
House and Techno has forced many to take note.
A quick look at his discography reveals original productions and remixes for an impressive array
of labels including Gregor Tresher’s Break New Soil, Fergie’s Tribal Rage and Rekluse, ALiVE
Recordings, Great Stuff, Monique Musique and Incorrect Music. Tracks such as “Kepler”,
“Maroc”, “Dancing With Strangers” and “Lost In Dubai” have certainly had their quality ratified
with support from some of the world’s biggest DJs. Sasha, Marco Carola, Steve Lawler, Jamie
Jones and John Digweed have all regularly supported his work which has also been found in
the lighter sets of Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, and James Zabiela. It was Richie Hawtin in particular
who took a liking to “Kepler”, opening his sets with it for many months including at his weekly
ENTER parties in Ibiza and his closing set at the renowned Timewarp event in Mannheim earlier
this year.
James’s own DJ sets combine a pioneering use of technology with a sound that seems like it
was born on the terrace (and no doubt perfected on there during the five summers James has
called Ibiza his home). Warm, chunky and percussive grooves held together and driven forward
by bass frequencies on the deeper side of things conjure up a hypnotic vibe that not only
mesmerises but also has enough impact to ignite the darkest of main rooms.
Well known for his extended House sets at Amnesia (one of the oldest and widely known clubs
in Ibiza) he has also played Space, Ushuaia and Privilege in 2012 (the latter at this year’s BBC
Radio 1 party to over 8000 revellers) and has been a regular performer at the Creamfields
festival in the UK. He has also completed two successful tours with deadmau5, demonstrating
his broad appeal to music lovers of a variety of tastes.
Still only in his mid-twenties, 2013 is set to be his biggest year yet as he launches a new
combined alias and live show project as well as tours of South America, Asia, Europe and of
course a return to Ibiza.
