James Thomson [Ornate Music]

At the helm of one of the UK’s most consistent house imprints since 2008, James Thomson is no stranger to dance floors, or discerning music collectors. With his heart in the past and mind firmly focused on the future, his taste for the finer end of electronic music and soul touching vibes shine through in equal measure. A self confessed purveyor of all that is deep, his acid house roots are never far from the surface: the label bearing full witness to his ability to bring together an impressive collection of releases, from an equally talented group of artists.

As one half of the production outfit Jonno and Tommo, his focus remains firmly fixed on the design of music for late-night dance addicts. No stranger to the DJ booth, his outlier blend of Detroit inspired grooves and journey-time house never fails to capture the moment; spreading the gospel of education and inspiration to crowds at some of the finest underground venues across the land.
