About James Talk
One of the unsung heroes of the UK house music scene, James Talk has gone from a fledgling producer and DJ championed by Pete Tong to a global star, gracing the world’s most respected labels and clubs on a regular basis.
The 27-year-old Southampton talent has been DJing half his life, and over the last 7 years has carved a name for himself in the production world as one the most talented groove-makers around. Whether it’s the straight-up, chunky acid and tech house sound that he’s best known for, or the flashes of anthemic genius in his tracks with Ridney (Sunshyne and their Pet Shop Boys-approved rework of West End Girls both chosen as Tong’s Essential New Tunes), his productions are always filled with colour, character, and funk.
James Talk and FabFilter
"I first heard about FabFilter after working with Dave Spoon. He showed me FabFiter Volcano and Simplon, and I loved the interface and performance of them. They sound amazing, and are so simple to use. I Bus my drums to an Aux Channel in Logic then run then through Simplon, it's great for build ups and adding dynamics to arrangements. The low-pass filters also sound amazing over vocals, and the automation is so easy!"
"Another favourite is FabFilter Timeless 2, the dub delay effects are some of the best; put any sound through it and it instantly sounds huge, with loads of space."
"I use the Simplon and Timeless on nearly all my tracks now, particularly on my single "Forever" on Defected as they really helped to give it that French filtered vibe. The bassline on "Forever" is from the FabFilter Twin 2 also!"
