Artist Profile - J. Majik* Feat. Kathy Brown
Though he was one of the youngest members of the Metalheadz stable, James Spratling debuted back in 1993 with tracks recorded for the Planet Earth label. Similar to the other Metalheadz, Majik's 12"s were dark affairs, with some of the best drum'n'bass lines around, though he leavened the brew with jazzy flourishes, like the Spanish guitar prevalent on the flip side of his first single for Metalheadz, "Your Sound".
Living in Northwood on the edge of North West London, he began DJing in the early '90s while in his early teens and recorded "The Choice" aka "6 Million Ways to Die" in 1993 as DJ Dexxtrous. A couple more releases followed this time on his own label, [l=Infrared], before the real DJ Dextrous became known to him, after which he turned to the alias J. Majik for his 1995 debut on Metalheadz, "Your Sound". The track was an undeniable classic, and later showed up on the Metalheadz Platinum Breakz compilation in 1996. Besides later singles for Metalheadz such as "Jim Kutta" and "Arabian Knights", Majik recorded for Mo'Wax as well as his own Infrared label, which released his debut LP, Slow Motion, in mid-1997.
After this he could put other anthems into the clubs: In 2002 he was one of a select few Drum & Bass artists to reach the UK Top 40 with the classic 'Love is Not A Game' on Defected records. In that same year he won track of the year at the UK Drum & Bass awards for his remix of 'Spaced Invader', which had influences of early Detroit techno and subtle house influences.
He's still releasing music in 2025.
