London based composer and producer James Fussey dedicates his studio time to fusing his wide range of influences from Mozart’s Choral Masterpieces to Verdi, Bach & 70's Disco alongside harsh industrial bass synths and just about any other samples he can get his hands on.
James’ career in Dance music kicked off in 2008 when legendary DJ Dave Pearce played his Trance anthem 'Tears from Saturn' on his BBC Radio 6 show. James consequently went on to win the bedroom producer prize for best unsigned artist and was interviewed live on air by Dave Pearce about his influences and background in music.
James first became involved with Urban Sickness Audio in 2009 when he was selected to remix Dark Disco anthem 'Never Enough' by VAHN. The quality of his work along with his desire to produce more material for the label led to the creation of 'Audio Lad' and the release of his debut single, Electro House anthem 'It’s All About You' featuring the vocals of Micky P.
Urban Sickness Audio launched in November 2008 making its mark in the world of Drum & Bass with dance floor slammers from the likes of Altered Conduct, Crystal Clear, Ben Fawce, Slumdogz, Predator Prey, Soul Intent and RareForm.
Their first generation of releases quickly gained collective DJ support from heavy weights including, Zane Lowe, Pendulum, Grooverider, Scratch Perverts, Laurent Garnier and Adam F.
To celebrate the label’s expansion into the realms of Breaks, Dubstep and Electrohouse, Moments of Darkness have put together a twenty minute mix featuring the hottest new and forthcoming tracks from the label.
2008 saw a long overdue meeting of minds between British producers Gary J Robinson, Ben Fawce, Jonny Vaughan and Ohio based musician Aaron Kay.
With many years of musical output and releases behind them, the four founding members of Urban Sickness Audio had reached a point where they were ready to move onto something new, fresh and exciting.
Gary had been running the Drum & Bass label New Vision Recordings since 1999 which was slowing down in terms of releases and had began to concentrate on musical output for television in Europe and the Americas. As NVR moved out of the public eye, Gary began to make plans for a new label and was on the lookout for some new and interesting collaborators.
