    their own biography

    the whole biography
    James Axon is a DJ, musician, and creator of the LA-based queer underground party Planet Love, as well as a resident on Dublab with his radio show Hearing Color. A lifelong pianist turned obsessive record collector, James Axon approaches DJing as an extension of musicianship. Before falling into house and techno, he spent years in bands and orchestral ensembles, a background that still shapes the way he thinks about rhythm, harmony, and structuring his sets compositionally. As a keyboardist and musician, he has collaborated with Seven Davis Jr. and Massimiliano Pagliara, and as a DJ has shared lineups with the likes of Octo Octa, Eris Drew, Avalon Emerson,The Blessed Madonna, Derrick Carter, Paramida, Peach, Moxie, Alex Kassian, Zombies in Miami, Jennifer Loveless, Sally C, Tornado Wallace, Perel, Eli Escobar, Paurro, and more. His sets drift seamlessly between house, techno, italo, electro, disco, and breaks, guided by an expansive taste shaped by pioneering artists like Aphex Twin, Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, Jeff Mills, Laurent Garnier, Andrew Weatherall, and Francois Kevorkian. His sets are always colorful, eclectic, and intuitively reflective of the setting -- whether playing cosmic disco in an intimate loft or hypnotic techno in a dark foggy warehouse, he still finds a sound that is distinctly James Axon: melodic and synth-heavy, driving and dreamy.
