Griffin James was barely out of his teens when Melbourne's deep house scene began to attract international attention, but he was already one of the city's key artists. Five years later, him and Australian artists such as Tornado Wallace and Fantastic Man call Europe home, pumping out melody-rich house and disco while DJing in clubs most weekends. Moving between disco, house, acid and more out-there sounds, James takes an anything-goes approach to DJing that was learnt in a city where variety is key.

An accomplished producer, James has released sunny 12-inches on labels such as Let's Play House and Drumpoet Community. He also linked up with Fantastic Man to found Superconscious Records, the label that hosted his recent homage to Italian dream house.

See him at Zhao Dai on September 15th. For more information, visit: https://www.facebook.com/events/2110738502502985
