(hopefully some more interesting venues to add to my cv soon :)

James St. James
Real name: James
Biography: Currently a student in Canterbury (graduating soon though... eep!) after moving here from Bradford, Yorkshire where I grew up. I'm mostly found wandering around Canterbury with headphones clamped to my head so large they border on the ridiculous but with which I can block out the humdrum and concentrate on my passion for music... Number of times this has led to nearly being run over currently stands at about 4! Have been involved with the UKC Rock Society since I arrived and have loved being one of their regular DJs for the past year and am always looking for people and places willing to let me play around with the music some more... I promise I wont break it!
DJ history: Various Rocksoc events (05/06 academic year), Amplify (Rocksoc's regular Friday night event started Sept 06), Various Rutherford College JCC events (College's 40th Birthday, St. Barry's Day) and a guest slot at 'Little Rob' (Friday Nights at UCCA, formally KIAD )
Specialisation: Rock, Metal, EBM, Noise, Hardcore Techno, Breakcore are favourites but I always like playing around with what people are expecting. Sometimes it fails miserably but it always keeps you on your toes.
