About Me

James Barnsley is the newest member of the basics family after building the main room with his own two hands, he now finds himself playing regular main room sets as well as his long standing back room gigs in England’s best small club! Keeping his style fresh and interesting with Deep, Techy house music, there is never a lack of energy on the dance floor. James’ skills have seen him play high profile gigs such as, ‘River Bar’ for ‘Club Class’ in London and ‘Space’ in Ibiza for ‘We Love’. 2006 has seen James venture into the studio with his most recent tracks ‘Acid Tambarine’ made with production partner Burnski, and Sock it to moi are signed to local label Breakout Audio and have been tearing the roof off at Basics and Whalebow. As well as his main room gigs James has made quite a stir in the backroom gaining support from Mark Farina for his clever blend of Hip Hop, Disco and Funk. James’ latest project ‘Whalebow’ is the new basics after hours @ the mint club. As well as running the night he is also one of the residents and can be found smashing it in most Sunday mornings also securing two new residancy’s for 2008, one being ’Twaddle’ in Leeds and the other being ’Riff Raff’ (the hottest underground club night in middlesboro) 2008 is set to be the biggest year yet in James’s DJing Courier.
