James Lavelle is one DJ for who the term eclectic really is justified, refusing to be confined to just one genre, Lavelle seamlessly integrates hip-hop, breakbeat and rock all into one set. This exciting combination saw him record live mix sets for both Fabric Live and Global Underground. At the tender age of 18 Lavelle set up the legendary Mo Wax record label, which went on to release the legendary endtroducing by DJ Shadow, as well releases by DJ Krush. Working with DJ Shadow Lavelle created UNKLE, thier debut album Psyence Fiction was an instant classic, working with artists such as Thom Yorke, The Beastie Boys and Richard Ashcroft, this album really embodied the mix of genres that influenced Lavelle. The success of Psyence Fiction was followed up by Never, Never Land, which included collaborations from Ian Brown, Mani, Josh Homme and the Scratch Perverts. Lavelle is also a indemand producer and remixer, including work for the likes of the Doves, Radiohead and Autloux.
