Kaz James

Kaz James established himself in early 2012 as one of EDM's hottest new stars, ignited by his debut release Kids, which gained instant support with strong radio play from Pete Tong and Andi Durrant, could be heard on dance floors the world over, and was a favorite of some of EDM's biggest hitters, including Tiësto, Kim Fai and Swedish House Mafia. It also saw Kaz signing with his long-term cohorts at Onelove, and was quickly followed by the launch of his own That Music imprint.

Kids resulted in a string of summer remix requests, including a featured remix on the Kaskade & Skrillex collaboration Lick It, which received global praise with over 400,000 listeners on YouTube. The The Gossip also approached Kaz to remix 'Move In The Right Direction', which was released in August 2012, and has again received strong Radio 1 air play as well as massive club support, plus a number 5 position in the UK Pop Charts.

On the gig front Kaz's prodigious talent and steady climb through the ranks have not gone unnoticed, which was cemented by a season residency at Pacha Pacha Ibiza alongside Pete Pete Tong, Erick Erick Morillo and David Guetta, culminating in the latter inviting him to be his official support act for his David Guetta October Asia Tour – with gigs across Asia including Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia.

Kaz will end 2012 with the release of his second club release, Drums, which has already been causing dance-floor mayhem globally. Drums comes complete with five remixes signed Maison & Dragen, Static Static Revenger, Ivan Gough and no less than two cutting-edge re-rubs by Sweden’s Oskar. The forthcoming months see Kaz embark on an extensive Australia leg of his world tour, kicking off with the Stereosonic Tour where he will be performing main stage in front of crowds of 60,000 in Sydney, Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane – alongside the likes of Tiësto, Calvin Harris, Avicii, Example, Laidback Laidback Luke and more.

    Happy you poets who can be present and so present by a simple flicker of your genius, and not, like the clumsier race, have to lay a train and pile up faggots that may not after prove in the least combustible!
    —Henry James (1843–1916)
