I have to confess that I have only just discovered James Zabiela (thanks to my man Troy). According to the Internet he is one of the finest technicians of the CDJ in the business, and I am not about to argue. Having gotten hold of his Radio 1 Essential Mix I haven’t stopped playing it all month.
James takes tracks of a whole range of electronic tempos and blends them together into a beautiful musical story. In this case, complete with samples from sci-fi film Moon. It just doesn’t get old.
