Still only 22, James ║▓█ █▓║ Zabiela was introduced to the world of acid house through his father ║▓█ █▓║ who worked in a local record shop and would come home laden with ║▓█ █▓║ armfuls of early house and techno. The year?1992. A time of ║▓█ █▓║ innovation, invention and an endless stream of Guerilla releases. ║▓█ █▓║ James was hooked instantly. Like father like son? The phrase ║▓█ █▓║ could've been coined for Zabiela's career. " I was only 12 years old ║▓█ █▓║ but I can still hear the thumping through my bedroom floor!" smiles ║▓█ █▓║ James, who for now has purposefully avoided the lure of London by ║▓█ █▓║ remaining in Southampton. My Dad would come home with armfuls of ║▓█ █▓║ acid house tracks at the weekends, he recalls. It wasn't until I was ║▓█ █▓║ 15 years of age, when I was to work in the same record shop, that ║▓█ █▓║ tracks such as Joey Beltram's 'Energy Flash' & 'LFO' made sense to ║▓█ █▓║ me. As soon as they did I was hooked. It wasn't long until he was ║▓█ █▓║ offered a job at the shop as a vinyl buyer. ║▓█ █▓║ ║▓█ █▓║ An understanding of Renaissance and Northern Exposure would soon ║▓█ █▓║ follow, as would spinning in local haunts. At the time it was just a ║▓█ █▓║ fun thing to do, he nods. It still is and that's what's important ║▓█ █▓║ but I do take what I do seriously as well. As far as being inspired ║▓█ █▓║ by other artists, Sasha and Digweed were the first to open my eyes ║▓█ █▓║ to a new sound. Lee Burridge & Craig Richards had a similar impact a ║▓█ █▓║ couple of years ago. I like to be inspired by hearing new music and ║▓█ █▓║ DJs. ║▓█ █▓║ ║▓█ █▓║ Of course, it was full-on vinyl addiction from then on in. Through ║▓█ █▓║ the shop, James was introduced to various promoters and went on to ║▓█ █▓║ play for local clubs including Menage a Trois and the infamous High ║▓█ █▓║ Tide boat parties. But James was interested in a more diverse sound ║▓█ █▓║ than trance with a capital 'T' and found it hard to play his ║▓█ █▓║ breakbeat-flavoured beats to local crowds, so as 'a way in' decided ║▓█ █▓║ to enter Muzik Magazines prestigious Bedroom Bedlam competition - ║▓█ █▓║ and won. Music has always been a passion ever since I can remember. ║▓█ █▓║ I never decided. When I was in my last year at school I discovered ║▓█ █▓║ mixing & DJing and it was just a hobbie then but also potentially ║▓█ █▓║ something that I could apply my passion for music to & have some ║▓█ █▓║ practical use career wise. I never dreamt it would go this far. ║▓█ █▓║ ║▓█ █▓║ That success was a great boost to his confidence and inspired him ║▓█ █▓║ into working harder to promote his DJing career. Going out to more & ║▓█ █▓║ more events, he started handing out those trusty mixtapes he'd done. ║▓█ █▓║ While at Bedrock in London James met Lee Burridge, a key influence - ║▓█ █▓║ who took the time to listen to the tape. He too was hooked. "His ║▓█ █▓║ style is diverse, interesting & he's technically skilled, said ║▓█ █▓║ Burridge. Blurring the line between house and breakbeat, he ║▓█ █▓║ encapsulates all the skills that a new DJ should bring to the job." ║▓█ █▓║ Lee invited James to play at his own Breaks night along with DJ ║▓█ █▓║ Hyper & Craig Richards at Bar Atlantis. Since then James has played ║▓█ █▓║ there every month. Word was undoubtedly spreading. ║▓█ █▓║ ║▓█ █▓║ Inevitably James was DJing in London more than ever with gigs at the ║▓█ █▓║ Laundry and at Muzik parties alongside the likes of Justin ║▓█ █▓║ Robertson, Hybrid and Danny Tenaglia. Even Diggers took the time to ║▓█ █▓║ call him up, offering James a slot at Bedrock. And he's been asked ║▓█ █▓║ back on several occasions since as well as DJing for the Daliparade ║▓█ █▓║ in Istanbul. Could things really get any better? They could. Just as ║▓█ █▓║ James' feet were about to float back to earth, the phone call of his ║▓█ █▓║ career came out of nowhere. Thanks to a gentle prod from Lee ║▓█ █▓║ Burridge, one of his mix tapes was heard by a certain superstar DJ ║▓█ █▓║ called Sasha, another of James' musical heroes. Within the month, ║▓█ █▓║ mid-December in fact, James was offered a place on Sasha's team at ║▓█ █▓║ Excession, joining a roster that includes Lee himself, Steve Lawler ║▓█ █▓║ and Sander Kleinenberg. The best Christmas present ever, said James ║▓█ █▓║ at the time. And Ibiza was just a plane ride away. ║▓█ █▓║ ║▓█ █▓║ On August 12th 2001, James flew out from Heathrow to play the gig of ║▓█ █▓║ his career thus far - spinning before Sasha at the most important ║▓█ █▓║ date in the clubs annual history, James joined Lawler and Morillo ║▓█ █▓║ for a career-defining gig inside at Space. And this was on the clubs ║▓█ █▓║ twelfth birthday, no less. It's a mad place, and a brilliant place ║▓█ █▓║ to play mainly because people from all over the world are there on ║▓█ █▓║ their holidays to party & relax. There's no other crowd like it. ║▓█ █▓║ It's like the best clubs from all over the world all in one place. ║▓█ █▓║ Space was the most uplifting experience I've ever had as a DJ. ║▓█ █▓║ Amazing. He says amazing a lot by the way. But its impossible to ║▓█ █▓║ underestimate the significance of Ibiza for Zabiela. Riotously ║▓█ █▓║ energetic, that peak-season gig sealed his fast-ascending reputation ║▓█ █▓║ for good. Impressed by his fast moves, Steve Lawler came and shook ║▓█ █▓║ his hand moments after the gig. These things just dont happen every ║▓█ █▓║ day. ║▓█ █▓║ ║▓█ █▓║ So how come things have moved so damn fast? The answer, of course, ║▓█ █▓║ lies in the performance. Fusing the latest breakbeat slates into ║▓█ █▓║ dark swathes of way-deep tech-house, the key to Zabielas sound is a ║▓█ █▓║ heady mix of bump-laden melodies and subtle, soul-stirring chord ║▓█ █▓║ changes. Avoiding the relentless assault of the four/four beat he ║▓█ █▓║ dips into every wayward sound that surrounds it instead. Nathan ║▓█ █▓║ Coles, Rocket and Terry Lee Brown Junior are just three of his ║▓█ █▓║ favourite producers this week. Its all about avoiding the perfect ║▓█ █▓║ beat, ysee. I hate to pigeon-hole myself, he says. I play a mixture ║▓█ █▓║ of all styles which I believe is a style in itself. I like to go ║▓█ █▓║ smoothly from one style to another. Why put boundaries on yourself? ║▓█ █▓║ A typical set varys depending on the slot I'm given but if was to ║▓█ █▓║ play the whole night I'd go from deep house to techno and breakbeat. ║▓█ █▓║ It's important to entertain as well as educate. ║▓█ █▓║ ║▓█ █▓║ And the future? Well, I wouldn't like to say, but a record label & ║▓█ █▓║ more production for me as well as a monthly residency in London. But ║▓█ █▓║ I'm just really glad to be doing what I'm doing. Last year was ║▓█ █▓║ easily the best year of my life. DJing all over the world, in the ║▓█ █▓║ best clubs to the best crowds, giving me the chance push boundaries ║▓█ █▓║ & experiment as a DJ. I just want to keep on doing that. Romania, ║▓█ █▓║ Israel and several appearances on Radio One all attest to his skills ║▓█ █▓║ behind the decks. Mute Records commisioned him to remix Depeche Mode ║▓█ █▓║ for the masses - a track so good that Sasha made it his essential ║▓█ █▓║ release when interviewed on Radio One earlier this year, and you can ║▓█ █▓║ expect to hear Zabielas own Essential Mix across the airwaves in ║▓█ █▓║ March.s ║▓█ █▓║ ║▓█ █▓║ Watching James spin at Heaven for Muziks Christmas party with ║▓█ █▓║ Bedrock at the tail-end of 2001, its easy to forget that such ║▓█ █▓║ quick-fire mixing should be coming from someone at the peak of their ║▓█ █▓║ career. Favouring bluesy tech-house and the sax-laden melodrama of ║▓█ █▓║ Chocolate City (Deep Dish, natch), James displays a depth and ║▓█ █▓║ understanding that can only come with experience - and this is only ║▓█ █▓║ the beginning. The bright lights of America must surely be only ║▓█ █▓║ around the corner. Two years ago I was working as a graphic designer ║▓█ █▓║ and DJing part-time locally. It was tough going to work after 3 ║▓█ █▓║ hours sleep! Hes not forgotten his roots. I remember my first gig at ║▓█ █▓║ Bedrock: I went straight to work after driving back to Southampton ║▓█ █▓║ where I still live... I'm sure the boss was suspicious! But compared ║▓█ █▓║ to two years ago? To say my life has been turned upside down in the ║▓█ █▓║ best possible way would be an understatement. I guess Im just a ║▓█ █▓║ complete musical, mixing junkie. ║▓█ █▓║ ║▓█ █▓║ Which is pretty much where we came in. If only everything in life ║▓█ █▓║ was as simple as this... ║▓█ █▓║ ║▓█ █▓╠══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣▓█ █▓║ ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ║▓█ █▓║ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ║▓█ █▓║ ║▓█ █▓║ ║▓█ █▓║ FFS IS NOT REALLY LOOKING FOR NEW RIPPERS/SUPPLIERS BUT IF YOU FEEL ║▓█ █▓║ YOU ARE SPECIAL AND THAT YOU CAN BRING SOMETHING INTERESTING TO OUR ║▓█ █▓║ SMALL AND DEDICATED FAMILY YOU ARE FREE TO EMAIL US. ║▓█ █▓║ * ║▓█ █▓║ FFS NE RECHERCHE PAS PARTICULIEREMENT DE NOUVEAUX RIPPERS/SUPPLIERS ║▓█ █▓║ MAIS SI VOUS SENTEZ QUE VOUS ETES SPECIAL ET QUE VOUS POUVEZ ║▓█ █▓║ APPORTER QUELQUE CHOSE DE BON A L'EQUIPE, VOUS POUVEZ NOUS LE FAIRE ║▓█ █▓║ SAVOIR PAR EMAIL, NOUS PRENDRONS LE TEMPS D'Y REPONDRE. ║▓█ █▓║ ║▓█ █▓║ SERIOUS SITES OFFERS ARE WELCOMED. ║▓█ █▓║ * ║▓█ █▓║ TOUTE OFFRE DE SITE EST LA BIENVENUE. ║▓█ █▓║ ║▓█ █▓║ Email : [email protected] ║▓█ █▓║ ║▓█ █▓╠══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣▓█ █▓║ ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ║▓█ █▓║ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ║▓█ █▓║ ALL THE GREETS GO OUT TO OUR FRIEND MISTAHWAX WHO HAS BEEN A VERY ║▓█ █▓║ CLOSE FRIEND FOR MANY YEARS. ║▓█ █▓║ YOUR PRESENCE WAS MUCH APPRECIATED BRO.
