James St. Bass

Starting in 1988, James fell into, and often out of, the Dj booth at the ‘Boom Boom Room’ on Queen Street west. The legendary "Boys night out" on Thursdays led to further residencies at the Big Bop, Go-Go, Oz, Limelight, and the Guvernment amongst others. A long time fan and supporter of Community radio, St. Bass, (as james became known due his dedication to the awesome bins at the Boom Boom and Go Go clubs) became involved with 89.5 FM CIUT as a fan of the Footnotes show started by DJ Barry Harris. Eventually, james put in years at CIUT hosting the original ‘Hardrive’ show on sunday afternoons--the first local radio show to feature the then new sounds of hardcore techno, jungle and house. Every party being held at the time benefited from the show's unbiased promotion. A fixture at early raves, James played them all: 23 Hop, Sykosis, Chemistry, Nitrous, Atlantis, Destiny, and Majik Mondays.

An obsessive fan of music as diverse as jazz, extreme metal, country, disco-funk, classic rock and punk--where james played in seminal early 80's hardcore thrash bands Creative Zero and Sudden Impact. A dedicated supporter of local talent, james has danced and sought vinyl from around the world--NYC, Detroit, Miami and The UK and after many years working with college students, james has unearthed some killer early jungle and hardcore sounds that, unless you have Hardrive radio shows on cassette, simply can't be heard anywhere else! A mad collector of all manner of ephemera and vinyl records, James is thrilled that the crowd that originally chanted "hardcore--you know the score! " wants some more! With over 20 crates of vinyl from the years 88-98, you can expect the unexpected as well as beloved raving classics. As a labour of love, St. Bass returns to his roots purely for the fans.
