DJ Jason James

Multi-instrumentalist spinning 80s classics to techno

Some DJs use a stage name, but Jason James keeps it simple. He performs under his real name, and it reflects exactly who he is behind the decks. Genuine, grounded, and focused on the music.

Jason’s connection to music goes back to Christmas morning in 1987, when he found two cassette tapes in his stocking: Metallica and Pet Shop Boys. That mix set the tone early. It sparked an interest in everything from guitar driven music to electronic sounds and built a lasting appreciation for how different styles can come together.

By the early 2000s, Jason was spinning vinyl at large rave events and building a reputation for sets that kept people moving. His personal taste leans toward 80s classics, industrial dance, and techno, but he approaches every genre with curiosity and respect. Whether it is a nostalgic favourite, a synth driven remix, or something unexpected, he knows how to read a room and shape the energy of the night.

Jason’s background as a multi-instrumentalist plays a big role in how he DJs. With experience in rock, pop, metal, and jazz, he brings a strong sense of timing, structure, and flow to his sets. He also welcomes requests and sees DJing as a shared experience between himself and the crowd, always adjusting to keep the energy where it needs to be.

Outside of DJing, Jason spends his time playing guitar and diving into competitive board games. His advice to clients is simple. Choose the songs that truly move you. Music has a way of bringing people back to moments in time, and those connections are what make an event unforgettable.
