If ever there was a timeless DJ talent in electronic music, it’s James Zabiela. He’s one of the industry’s most colourful, varied and vibrant artists, constantly pushing technology to its limits, while his passion, preparation and dedication ensures no detail is left unchecked. Few others have turned the CDJ into a musical instrument like Zabiela has, his technical skills are so pronounced that he has been a regular advisor to Pioneer on their products over the years, often taking prototypes out for test runs. But he’s no po-faced selector; the Brit’s exuberance and energy is legendary. He mixes records from right across the electronic gamut, his sets arcing between the cerebral and the fun.
