James Doman is Canada’s next hottest export. As a DJ and producer his star is firmly in the ascendant, and his new bomb, ‘Everything’s Gonna Be Alright’, released on Positiva in August 2008, is set to make him a mainstay of the UK dance scene.
Renowned for his melodic, uplifting house, James’ various productions are currently being hammered by anyone ranging from Pete Tong, Dubfire, Axwell, Steve Angello, and Tiesto, to Judge Jules (on Radio 1), Andi Durrant and Sarah Main. ‘Everything’s Gonna Be Alright’ has, essentially, now been playlisted by Capital 95.8 and has also picked up radio support from Radio 1’s Essential Selection, Steve Smart and Simon Dale on Kiss, Andi Durrant on Galaxy, and more.
A major name on the Canadian scene, he’s forged a successful main room residency at Toronto’s world famous club, Circa (owned by North American club legend, Peter Gatien, and which immediately picked up several awards after opening), playing alongside international jocks, such as David Guetta, Morillo, and more. This summer, at Circa and beyond, he’ll be joining Tiesto, Danny Tenaglia, and Sebastian Leger, to name but a few.
As would befit someone with world-class production skills, his approach to DJing somewhat mirrors that of James Zabiela. Doman uses the DJ booth like his studio, mixing live with Ableton and Serrato, while over 50% of his set is made up of re-edits and live bootlegs. The result is a unique performance that each week attracts 3500 clubbers onto Circa’s dancefloor. |
