RA Podcast 319: James Zabiela

July 10, 2012 By Matt 317 Comments

James Zabiela, arguably the king of CDJ’s and effects (he was brought on by Pioneer to help design the Pioneer CDJ-2000′s and DJM-900 Nexus) graces us with what is sure to be one of the best mixes of the year presented by Resident Advisor. You can tell that James carefully put this one together with tons of love in order to deliver a unique listening experience from start to finish. With a variety of styles ranging from downtempo, dubstep, UK bass, house, techno and electronica you will be constantly surprised by the stellar track selection that is interspersed with film and tv quotes amongst the amazing mix routines he is known for. Those who have heard his “Moon” themed 2010 Essential Mix know the quality to be expected (As a bonus I have embedded that mix below).

Our Story

It started with pure and shared passion for electronic music amongst a group of young men in their college years. What was first a school project with a thousand or so views, Techibeats.com rapidly took off and is growing day by day. Hundreds of thousands of people have already seen the diverse and quality music tastes of the minds behind Techibeats.com and the future looks brighter than ever, pulling in interviews from top artists of the industry. Our goal is to provide the growing electronic music fan base with top quality music from minds who understand EDM from both an educated, technical standpoint and an abstract analyzation of the genre. Our posts are designed so the listener can think critically about how a particular piece of music was created to help the public understand and be informed more about what's happening with the man behind the turntables.
