About Me


What the Big Names Are Saying
  • At last something different, catchy & deep minimal pop, I like the colour of vocal, also remixes are cool I like both, clever, radio friendly...good for me. (Josef Sedlon - Radio 1 Prague)
  • DNA Orchestra (Sequential mix) is tasty ;) good solid production, right for deeper dancefloors (Drummatic Twins)
  • Nice track, Awesome heavy bass, like the vocals too. (Lisa Lashes)
  • Was sent this a few months back and have been diggin it ever since! (Jem Haynes - Precision Cuts)
  • Great vocal! Very Haunting track with all kinds off electro filth. I'm digging it. (Scott Kirkland - The Crystal Method / Indie 103.1 FM)
  • I really like this. It kinda sounds like a whole bunch of bands that I can't seem to place, whilst not actually sounding like any of them. It is great and understated but just seems to wash through you. (Nick Thayer - BreakingPoint / Triple RRR Radio / Impress)

  • Some Background...

    Back in the 90s, performing live in and around (then) home town of Huddersfield, Sequential (DJ / Producer James Jackson) and co-writer / local DJ Steve Jones quickly amassed a large following and gained an enviable local reputation for instantly catchy, highly danceable tunes that filled dance floors to capacity.

    Ever eager to develop his craft, it wasn't long before James left his small Yorkshire hometown behind and headed down to London to study Electronic Music. 3 years later, he graduated with a First Class with Honours, winning the University Prize for Outstanding Achievement. Soon after, James began working with Ed Kelly, a.k.a. Lone Shark (Pyramid Transmissions) - the duo were at that time known as The Red Shelter.

    In 2002, despite his success, James still felt uncertain about his artistic direction and decided to take a break from music. It was only in 2006 that he finally found the Tech Funk sound he’d been looking for.

    From a studio standpoint it wasn't a million miles away from what James had been working on in previous years, largely experimental music, pushing the envelope. James’ previous studio experience will stand him in good stead, but he now has new ideas of his own and a new direction in music.

    He has just signed his debut single, "I Feel So Good" to Alibi Vinyl and has recently finished working with DNA Orchestra (Azuli Records) on a remix project, which is out now on Sold Records. And with plays from the likes of Jason Sparks, Precision Cuts and B-Phreak, 2008 looks like it will be a good year for Sequential.

    All Sequential's music is available from www.beatport.com and other quality online music stores.
