James Lavelle Announces DJ Set at Espy

James Lavelle has just announced a DJ set at The Espy Front bar, Melbourne on March 12th.

Described once as the Hunter S. Thompson of DJs, James Lavelle’s career has spanned the last 18 years, and at 32 he remains as individual a figure in contemporary music as he was as a teenager, when he first gate-crashed his way in with the genre-shattering MoWax records.

Back then he was obsessed with early street culture, DJing with Gilles Peterson at That’s How It Is (the legendary club which lasted over 10 years), working with the visionary designer Nigo on Bathing Ape, and launching a label in MoWax.

Now he divides time between his internationally-renowned DJ career, his UNKLE act with singer/producer Richard File, and a brand new independent set-up: Surrender-All, which combines music, fashion and art.

James Lavelle has collaborated and remixed with the likes of Ian Brown, Richard Ashcroft, Doves, Noel Gallagher, DJ Shadow, Jarvis Cocker, Badly Drawn Boy, Thom Yorke and Massive Attack amongst others.
