bvoc, *1982 AU, Australia
Producer of Dance
A.k.a. Christopher James Karyotakis

Kaz James is that rare breed of DJ/Producer who has dared to have huge crossover success while still keeping his musical sites set firmly on the dance floor. As a long-time Pacha guest and Ibiza regular (hand picked to play by and with the likes of NERVO, Erick Morillo, Pete Tong and Avicii), Kaz has an ability to rock dance-floors at the biggest festivals and underground house clubs. His unique skills have earnt him coveted slots on LA’s HARD Summer and Australia’s STEREOSONIC Festival, plus the title of David Guetta’s official support DJ on his last world tour. Kaz recently played Tomorrowland in Belgium, and is set to play the Isle of Dreams - a new festival by Ibiza’s Danny Whittle and Mark Netto, ex-Pacha and Booom! Whilst industry heavyweights and global festival regulars alike are still calling his recent Coachella late night set the party of their lives! Originally one half of hit-producing duo BodyRockers (I Like the Way), Australian Kaz returns this August with a string of solo releases planned, beginning with Show Me All Your Love, his latest work in his biggest year to date as a solo artist. This perfect feel good summer anthem on ONE LOVE recordings is booming with massive sun drenched synth stabs, an infectious melody and vocal hook tied together by a groove that is simply impossible not to move to. ‘Show Me All Your Love’ is a sure fire crowd pleaser with all the big room house sensibilities. The perfect follow-up to his recent Beatport Top 10 smash with David Guetta - Blast Off, Underground Police with the legendary Junior Sanchez, and his current remix release of the UK’s #1 single Gecko (Overdrive) by Oliver Heldens & Becky Hill. This European summer, in addition to his frequent Ibiza dates at Pacha, Ushuaïa and Café Mambo he’s also hosting ‘Show Me’, his own night at Paradise Club - Mykonos, booking a range of talent that includes NERVO. Steve Aoki, Sneaky Sound System and Autoerotique. Never one to rest on his laurels, Kaz is also moving with similar speed in the coffee business, having launched Shoreditch Grind on London’s Old Street three years ago with longtime mate David Abrahamovitch. They now have three Grind locations, with several more planned. Music is always in the brand’s DNA – studio upstairs at one location, decks downstairs at another – meaning it’s at the heart and soul of everything he does. Running a coffee empire in London, producing a breakthrough new band Rage on Gold, and continuing to clock hours of studio time… this is one busy man. Kaz James, catch him if you can.
