James Zabiela Style
Posted on: 30.04.2013 by Lana Akey
I've been trying to figure out what style Zabiela is running he does tech house, electronica, breaks, some techno, house and just mashes it all together? For some of his sets don't really stick to one. What would you say his style is?

He could do very cool things with just a pair of TT's and a mixer. Even got a copy of a mix CD he was handing out at the time, starts off with cool sample from Bladerunner He crosses genres and I love the eclectic nature of his sets. He's also a very pleasant chap as well, friendly and approachable.

I'd love to see him perform.
Good points. Seen him live, and yes brilliant albeit totally eclectic

He plays bits of everything and from my experience it tends to depend who he's playing before/after quite a bit.
I've seen him play an intense closing set at 4am at Warehouse Project after Sasha and Tong and seen him play a more varied set at Space in Ibiza. You could tell that one was his evening , his residency. He just did what he wanted and it wasn't as intense as the others I've seen.

The best was probably after Catz n Dogz (who he'd asked to be put before him in the main room rather than upstairs) and before Adam Beyer at Circus.

Also not getting Zabiela - from his under-rated "Sounds In Motion" on Hooj to the brilliant "Alive" and "Utilities" on Renaissance, the disappointing Masters Series and his sublime new track 'The Healing' on Involv3r he just doesn't seem to have found a niche. I don't believe a Producer/DJ NEEDS to be categorised, but I feel he hasn't quite fulfilled Sasha's prophecy of being the sound of the future.
