James has DJ’ed at top clubs in the UK, Europe and beyond: legendary sets at Fantazia, Cream, Dreamscape and Raindance. Eden in Ibiza and Swerve at Mr. C’s infamous The End nightclub. Sweaty nights and ringing ears at Fabric and Ministry Of Sound. 6 AM sunrise sets at Pacha and the Funktion1 sound system at the Womb Club in Tokyo. Then of course, festival appearances at Glastonbury, Lovebox and Latitude— too many memorable favourites. Under his current moniker, Grace Bones, he amasses an impressive catalogue of music releasing on major house labels. Nervous, Dopewax, Stealth, Cube, and King Street, amongst others.

Radio is at the forefront of James’ connection and inspiration in dance music. He’s DJ’d on BBC radio 1 / 1xtra, Kiss FM, DASH FM and co-hosted a drum and bass show on Ministry of Sound radio. As Grace Bones, he presently hosts ‘House of Chic Radio’, a weekly FM radio show in London (Select 94.4 FM) with an average of 50,000 tune in listeners.

His Grace Bones guise has already achieved 2 number 1 records in the latin/afro charts and numerous Top 10 records in the Garage charts. He has mixed Grammy nominated producer Junior Sanchez’s ‘Songprints Vol 1’ album on D4dnce, curated and mixed a DJ album including remixes for Steve Silk Hurleys label S&S records and dropped a full artist album on Kenny Summits label Good For You records.

The energy and expansion continues. A full artist album forthcoming on vinyl for Kenny Dopes Dopewax records, multiple signings and releases, a busy DJ schedule, and reveling in lifting this community. 2024 is another fantastic year.
