James Zabiela (DJ)

James Zabiela is an internationally renowned DJ from Southampon. Over the last 12 years he has become something of a heritage act despite still being 2 decades younger than his peers currently sharing that title.

2014 saw James complete his 12th season as revered We Love…Space resident as he continued to zig-zag across the globe whilst his ever growing and much loved Born Electric label turned 2 years old. The label has previously signed music from the likes of Hot Chip, Midland, FaltyDL, Cloud Boat, Tin Man, Scuba, Serge & Tyrell & the burgeoning talents of Pedram, Drew Hill and Pedestrian, all A&R’d by James personally.
