Показать описание
James Lavelle is a musician, artist, producer, record label owner and curator Join us as we discuss his work in music, film, art and TV as well as the parallels for businesses, big and small.
He founded the Mo'Wax record label in 1992, and has been the constant member of the band UNKLE. UNKLE (occasionally known as UNKLE Sounds) was also founded in 1992 by James and this music was originally categorised as trip hop (described as a fusion of hip hop and electronica with slower tempos and an atmospheric sound), often incorporating elements of jazz, soul, funk, reggae, dub, R&B, and other forms of electronic music, as well as sampling from movie soundtracks and a range of eclectic sources. The genre was adopted initially by music acts such as Massive Attack, Tricky, and Portishead.
In 1996, Mo' Wax released one of electronic music's most celebrated albums, DJ Shadow's seminal Endtroducing...... Soon after this James started work on an album with DJ Shadow under the name UNKLE. The resulting release Psyence Fiction featured collaborations with The Verve’s Richard Ashcroft and Radiohead’s Thom Yorke.
Future groundbreaking UNKLE albums featured collaborations with the likes of Massive Attack, Queens of the Stone Age and many more. Indeed, he produced the title track for Queens of the Stone Age's 2013 album ...Like Clockwork, which reached number one on the Billboard 200 and receiving three Grammy Award nominations.
He is a longtime resident DJ at the famous Fabric nightclub in London, and has produced a number of film soundtracks, including Sexy Beast starring Ray Winston and the series,Trust for Danny Boyle's TV series Trust, about the abduction of John Paul Getty III , and starrs Donald Sutherland and Hilary Swank.
His carrier was documented in the 2018 documentary film The Man From Mo'Wax.
James also directed the 2014 edition of the Meltdown festival on London's South Bank following in the footsteps of the likes of David Bowie, and curated the 2016 exhibition Daydreaming with the legendary, Stanley Kubrick at Somerset House.
He took over the Saatchi Gallery with his 360-degree, surreal, immersive exhibition experience, Beyond the Road. It aimed to stimulate the five senses; sight, sound, touch, smell and spatial perception and featured James’ music, set amongst artworks and multimedia in a moody, sometimes, apocalyptic feel.
Beyond the Road also exhibited in Seoul, South Korea in 2021.
James has a fascination with putting music and art into different environments and has performed live shows in everywhere from huge stadia to Glastonbury to Selfridge’s basement t(one of my favourite UNKLE nights) to record stores to Somerset House…and to the new recently opened, mulit sensory, Outernet venue in central London.
