A lifelong pianist and classically trained musician, James Axon spent years in jazz bands, orchestras, and contemporary music ensembles before falling in love with the sounds of modern house and techno. Today, he draws upon his musicality and eclectic taste as a DJ and remixer that espouses an expansive vision of dance music, often mixing seamlessly between all varieties of house, techno, italo, electro, disco, IDM and breakbeat. In whatever genre he plays, Axon is most drawn to tracks that strike a balance between being physically effective on a soundsystem and exhibiting enough interesting musicality to transcend being purely functional.
