James Trystan

As one half of progressive house duo Filth & Splendour James Trystan
isn’t a new comer to the dance music scene. Having spent the last 9 years
DJing all over London, Spain, Thailand, South Korea and beyond he’s well
versed in performing to large and captivated crowds. Counting the Key,
The Cross, Turnmills and The Egg as residencies, alongside regular slots
at Ministry of Sound, his experience at delivering blistering sets is assured.
During his partnership with Oli Cassidy he has produced a huge back
catalogue of releases across their own label Itch Records, and established
imprints such as Perfecto, Cr2, Baroque, Twisted Frequency and Armada.
Supported and remixed by the likes of Carl Cox, Dave Seamen, Paul
Oakenfold, Umek, Ed Kane, Jaymo and James Harcourt, their reputation
as artists is certified by some of the best producers in their genre.
Now building on that success and experience James Trystan is exploring
his solo sound, a sound that was quickly and keenly supported by one of
Europe's most respected bastions of credible house music - Great Stuff
Records - and their new deeper imprint Fukai, who snapped up his early
releases and are keen to cement a long and lasting relationship with this
artist on the rise. Through releases on Defected In The House, Seamless
and KNM - heralding multiple Beatport top 10s - James has nurtured a
fresh palette that lurks in deeper, more atmospheric waters, and toys with
subtly emotive melodies without ever losing that flagrant knack for plump,
undulating grooves.
To understand why James Trystan is fast-becoming a definitive production
force in the house industry you only need to check out his recent remixes
work for the Klaxons, Fenech Soler and Ghost Beach, which have received
support from the biggest names in the business. With most of his recent
releases being blasted out on Radio 1, Kiss FM and Capital this summer
James Trystan is certainly one to watch. Forthcoming are collaborations
with Barber, and Della Zouch, alongside numerous syncs to big
compilations. His performance diary is filling up too, with a short stint at the
Ibiza closing parties before nipping to ADE and over to Asia for Christmas
and New Year, if you’re looking for the hottest talent on the rise, now is the
time to get in touch.
