Still under the age of 30, James Lavelle has already become one of the most recognized producer/DJs to emerge from Londons underground by association with his cutting-edge breaks label Mo Wax Records, the power-production of U.N.K.L.E., Brit-rock darlings South and now for a second turn with the highly prestigious globe-trotting DJ series Global Underground with GU #026: ROMANIA, due out this spring. On GU #026: Romania, James Lavelle's sheer enthusiasm for his music ensures its freshness. I've got the luckiest job in the world, he says, and you can't help but believe him. This is the lad who has gone from stealing VW badges to being name-checked on record by Mike D; the James Lavelle musical revolution has gone full circle and that big wheel just keeps on turning. Catch James Lavelle at Pod on Friday August 20th.
