After a 10 year hiatus, James Talk will be releasing more music in 2024. One of the unsung heroes of the UK house music scene, James Talk has gone from a fledgling producer and DJ championed by Pete Tong to a global star, gracing the world's most respected labels and clubs on a regular basis. The 29-year-old Southampton talent has been DJing half his life, and over the last 9 years has carved a name for himself in the production world as one the most talented groove-makers around. Whether it's the straight-up, chunky acid and tech house sound that he's best known for, or the flashes of anthemic genius in his tracks with Ridney (Sunshyne and the Earth Wind and Fire sampling Forever), his productions are always filled with colour, character, and funk. Having graced world-leading labels like Defected, Get Physical, Suara, Great Stuff, Noir and Saved in recent years, he's kicked off the new year in sterling form with his stomping, peak-time remix of TomWax & Strobe's "Crushed" for Great Stuff, and a deeper funkier remix of Inner City's "Future" for UK house label Defected Records. His remix of Prince's When Doves Cry lit up dance floors at the tail end of the Ibiza 2011 season,and his remix of Roy Davis' Jr was in Defected Records Top 10 sales tracks of 2011. The latter part of 2011 had James locked away in the studio working on his 2nd artist album for Suara Records, to be released this April.
