(Interview)
One of the unsung heroes of the UK house music scene, James Talk has gone from a fledgling producer championed by Pete Tong to a global star, gracing the world’s most respected labels and clubs on a regular basis. A breath of fresh air from the droves of posturing scenesters and minimal chinstrokers, his is a sound which goes back to the visceral essentials, reminding the world where tech house came from in the first place…

• What was the music scene like where you grew up?
Southampton has always had a fairly strong music scene. Many great DJ’s and bands have toured through our little city over the years. I started going to club nights when I was 16, and when I was 18 I started attending the High Tide Boat Parties. This is when things changed for me, I started meeting other local DJ’s and producers. We have a really strong network of talented DJ’s and producers here now.
• In your opinion, which is the best club/venue in the world?
I have 2 favorites. Womb in Toyko is incredible, and anyone who loves to dance needs to go there just once. There other would be Ministry of Sound in London. They have so much history and recognition in the dance scene. The brand is recognized all over the world, and its always an honor to play there.
• Are there any projects, remixes or productions in the pipeline?
I have just finished a new single with Ridney, and we are in negotiations with a record label right now. I am working on some new solo singles too, and also two remixes, one for ThreeSixty, the other for Andre Sobata. Ridney and I are launching our new label next year, called Extra Dry, we are very excited about it. We are also starting a club night and podcast to run alongside it.
• Is there anyone who would you like to play a back to back set with?
Oh there is a few, Josh Wink, and Steve Lawler for sure, their programming and mixing is flawless, I’m sure I could learn a lot from them.
• Out of all the tunes you have, which one never fails?
From tracks I’ve written personally, my remix of X Press 2 Smoke Machine is a surefire win on the dance floor. From other people I’d have to say, Reset Robot – Do The Slot, is always a dance floor bomb.
• Which artists do you think we see break through in 2011?
There is some exciting new people coming through, you’re going to hear a lot more from Reset Robot and Jet Project next year. These guys are workaholics and have the talent to be huge.
• Do you have any track recommendations for the viewers?
The new Guti & Audiofly record on Desolat is amazing, also Smak – Can’t Live Without on Sketchbook Records, is huge for me.
