Having held a residency for a year at Singapore’s HOME club, Bradley James continues an unassuming influence into the international scene of dance. The island’s only genuine home to underground music and culture; he has been an integral part behind the decks as well as the running of successful events. Known as lock’n’groove to those who frequent the club’s after-hours event of ‘4am in the mix’ he possessed by all things funky. He shares a love for Detroit techno which stems back to his initial obsession with the genre many years ago before ever touching vinyl. He has since grown technically and his obsession has transformed physically now being actively involved with parties while traveling from Asia to Europe, and back again. Currently holding a much wider palette for sound he aims to draw people in, helping them lose their inhibitions and bringing a sense of soul to dance floors worldwide.
Not one to pigeon hole himself into one specific genre he has collected extensively broadening his horizons way past any specific theme or sound. Notably he has also been a resident at Singapore’s only regular Reggae, Dub and Dancehall event, Rubbadubdub under the moniker of DJ Bud. Asides from this and his regular late night techno sessions at HOME, he has played sets consisting of his growing 45 collection and nu school funk to crowds at Blu Jazz café as well as a Hip Hop session at the now defunct Bar Bar Black Chic. Venues asides from this that are worth mentioning in his list of growing events include the Liquid Room in Singapore as well as Double 6 in Bali, Indonesia.
He has played alongside established stars Deetron (Music Man, Be), Dave Angel (Rotation Records, UK) as well as rising internationals of the Asian and Australasian region including colleague’s loopinmotion (HOME, Singapore) and DJR (HOME, Singapore), Podo (Robot.Net, HK/ HOME, SG) Norman Chung (SINO, Singapore), Romel Johan (Stream Recordings, Malaysia), Veiga (Stream Recordings, Aus) and Not Happy Jan (Maccanoid, Aus).
