LIVE recording of my DJ set @ PM:AM Eclipse from 7th December 2019 from 512 London. I played the opening set which allowed me to stretch my progressive and melodic techno legs - recorded between 10pm - 12midnight, I set the tone for a very special night in London.

To mark my debut at PM:AM on 7th December, I rattled through some melodic and progressive techno to get myself warmed up for the night, and to hint to what I may play - of course, what I will play will be decided on the night, but this will whet the appetite.. Progressive & Melodic Techno Session - Recorded LIVE in Brighton, 6/12/19 and mixed by James Black

TEKBEAT - CLUB 414 LIVE DJ SET TRIBUTE SPECIAL ------------------------------------------------- We at Tekbeat have been tragically informed of the closure of Brixton's Club 414. Club 414 was a trance institution, a trance bolthole in south London. It had a loyal following, a close family atmosphere and is responsible for many many clubbers over its 30 year history. I was lucky enough to DJ at Clu...

James Black Presents - Break The Psycle 139bpm Trance / Hard Trance / Tech Trance 2019 OUT NOW ON DISCOVER RECORDS!

**REMASTERED VERSION FOR EXTRA FAT-NESS** To mark my 500 followers on Twitter; As you should all know by now, Fatboy Slim is the reason I got into this malarkey - from his production styles & sampling to the entire DJing charisma. He's been the driving force and my benchmark - from the ingenuity of using samples to commanding 250,000 strong crowds. In 2018, CamelPhat did a remix of 'Right Here, Ri...

This. Is. My. Dark. Matter. I am incredibly fortunate to hold a residency at London techno night 'Dark Matter' - This set represents prime techno madness, and indeed what I played on 13/10/18 for their birthday event. Close your eyes, turn up the music and embrace the madness of Dark Matter... MY Dark Matter.

I am a huge fan of the original track; its very sound captivates me to envisage those early morning moments when the world stops and all that exists is immersive sound. The euphoria. The tingle. I NEED to play this track in my sets, however, the original is about 120bpm, and had no tail in to mix with - so I made this version, half remix, half edit.. but all respect paid to the original without co...

Getting things going at any club night is important, you have to set the tone, set the vibe, you need to get people warmed up and prepare them for the main show. Ive been doing warm up slots for most of my career, not because I'm not worthy of the main slot, but because I actively enjoy setting the scene for what could be the best night of your life. The warm up DJ is the one you remember before t...

I wanted to use Moby's track 'Inside' in a recent mixtape, but I felt the original track isn't structured to be used in a mix, so I created a deep / minimal remix to fit with an early / warm up techno set. No offense or infringement intended, just pleased with the way it turned out and wanted to share it with the world. Hope Moby is cool with that; an interpretation of his own work? NOT FOR PROFIT...
