Artist Interview

I love a long warm up set where you can take the crowd from a daytime chill into the evening party...

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.

Hi, I'm James Farley, One of the residents for Dancership events, Ive been DJing for over 30 years now from school discos at the age of 10 (possibly earlier!) to full blown International brand events.

My style is very changeble depending on where I'm playing but I guess I'm known for getting the heads bobbing and people out of their seats with vocal, uplifiting and Disco House.

I love a long warm up set where you can take the crowd from a daytime chill into the evening party and get huge satisfaction, watching people get into the vibe as they warm to the music and move from the bar to the dance floor as the music builds.

...Barbera Tucker live a massive tick off the list for me.

What are your highlights of the past year and what is planned for the future?

As always ADE in Amsterdam is the highlight for me, it's an amazing few days with a great bunch of friends from the industry. We were lucky enough to be invited to Todd Terry's ADE Closer at Het Sieraad nightclub. The atmospere in there was like it was 'Back in the day' just happy dancing people, an amazing sound system, music was perfect and Barbera Tucker live a massive tick off the list for me.

Moving forward, I have a few Gigs lined up for Dancership, Groove Assassin and Richard Earnshaw at Sawan nightclub on June 28th and A Huge Bora Bora Pool party at the Plymouth Lido on Aug 2nd with Gee Moore and Jonathan Ulysses.

Also a private party with Radio 1 Dance Anthems creator Dave Pearce for a good friend of mine which should be fun.

Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.

Get into It because you love it, Take time honing your style to something you enjoy and run with it, there will always be a crowd of similar taste and when you play the music you all like, it feels amazing.

Practice!! like all the time, beat matching is one thing (and a very small thing!) but learnig how different records go down in different environments, how people react to them and what/when to play them is the key to getting it right.

Don't knock an earlier warm up set. The skill learnt in building crowds ready for a headliner is invaluable. Anyone can knock out an hour of classic bangers and keep people dancing but getting them there is the real skill. If you leave a decent headliner with a full dancefloor it won't go unnoticed.

What artists have inspired your DJ style?

Back in the mid 90's Graeme Park was huge for me, I hadn't really heard of House music as such and was a 13/14 year old playing commercial euro dance and taped top 40 on cassettes at the school disco. The Cream Live mix CD with Maria Rowe Sexual on got me hooked and is still one of my favourite mixes of all time.

Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.

The Tracks on this mix are typically my style if I had a full dancefloor after warming up, vocal, uplifitng and moving into some more big room anthem tracks towards the end. Hope you Enjoy.
