Biography
If you’ve been anywhere near an electronic music event in the past few years, the likelihood is that at least one point during the evening you will have been moving to the hypnotic sounds of James Talk.
Born and bred in Southampton, James’s reputation has been forged on endless days in the studio perfecting his unique sound of funky tech and acid house, and spellbinding performances at some of the biggest clubs on the planet.
Things have happened very quickly for James, but to all those in the industry who have been involved with his meteoric rise, none are surprised at his success, and this was demonstrated in February 2005 when James was invited to supply the guest mix on John Digweed’s Kiss 100 show. The mix earned praise from far and wide, and James has never looked back since.
One of his many supporters Nic Fanciulli has already signed three of James’s tracks to his uber cool Saved imprint and featured them on his recent Renaissance compilations, whilst props from djs that include Sasha, John Digweed, Danny Howells, Pete Tong and Steve Lawler amongst others have helped push James’s sound to thousands of listeners around the world.
Further sustained success has since followed. In 2006 James was voted as DJ Mag’s Breakthrough Artist by Nic Fanciulli, Sander Kleinenberg and Fergie, whilst i-DJ featured James alongside Max Sedgley and Braund Reynolds as ‘One To Watch’ for the future.
His work alongside Audiofly on ‘Cool Wet Grass’ was signed to Get Physical whilst ‘Eggs Are Cute’ became one of the most successful releases on the Nu-Republic label. James has since launched his own label ‘Spoken Recordings’ which is an outlet for his own material, and his releases ‘Remote’, ‘Warm Milk’ and ‘Pass Me The Suntan Lotion’ have cemented the label’s position as one of the most exciting new monikers on the market.
On the remix front, James continues to be one of the most in demand new artists on the scene, with projects for Underwater, CR2, Data, Big Love, Saved and Little Mountain Records that have seen him remix on artists that include Danny Howells, Stakker, DJ Pierre, King Unique, Buick Project, and Fedde Le Grand all under his belt - every single remix different from the last, but encapsulating the essential rhythm and groove that is synonymous with James’s sound.
Most recently, James has once again found himself the talk of the industry (excuse the punn) as his acclaimed reworking of the Pet Shop Boys' classic 'West End Girls', together with co-producer Ridney, has made it's way to the top of almost every dance music chart including the Beatport and Buzz charts, and even gained the coveted 'Essential New Tune' award on Pete Tong's 'Essential Selection' show...
... and if all this wasn’t enough, James’s dj diary continues to grow with gigs all over the world. Amazing performances at Ministry Of Sound, Womb, Shindig, Renaissance, Godskitchen and Coloursfest have seen James tear the floor apart, and with debuts at various festivals and events all over the planet in the coming months, James Talk is the name being spoken by promoters and club goers in all four corners of the scene.
Joining James at the hub of Timbuk2's main room are residents Luke Langson & Clinton Brown, together with one of South Wales' most exciting emerging talent's 'Marek', ensuring an absorbing soundtrack of underground tech house & techno from start to end...
Room 2 meanwhile features resident Alex Clark alongside the best in Bristol talent including Dan Masey, Dan Pearce & Gordon Macrae.
Entry to this phonomenal event is a mere £8, with NUS (with card) at just £6. Doors open at 11pm and we expect a full house so would encourage all to arrive as early as possible. Last entry is at 2.30am and the night will run until 5am.
This is really will be an unmissable night people, with added lighting & visuals all adding to the occassion.
We'd like nothing more than all those who over the past 4 years have enjoyed EQ events and have helped us become one of Bristol's premier nights to join us in celebrating a birthday bash to rememeber!!!
