About Me

B-Boy J (better known to my mum as James Cooper) is a resident of the multi-award winning club night, Spectrum.
Although Spectrum is best known for it's breaks, I consider myself to be much more than a breakbeat DJ, and you'll catch me scratching together everything from party breaks to afro funk, via dancehall and electro. I guarantee you'll never hear me play the same set twice.
As well as being a DJ, I produce music as a solo artist and as the better looking half of an elusive Martian duo. Also, as the name suggests, I am a b-boy (or at least was until bad knees forced me into retirement). Mind you, it doesn't stop me popping and locking behind the decks.
Currently on heavy rotation...
