Melbourne based DJ/Producer/Radio Host, east-coast Australian born James Beetham

For more than 15 years, James Beetham has been pursuing a unique blend of progressive house, breaks and techno as a DJ, producer, radio host, and label-owner. With a lifelong love of progressive electronic music underpinning everything he does, James’ ability to connect with an audience has seen him perform to dancefloors across Australia, championing his sound and skills at iconic festivals, club

s, and warehouse parties. James’ studio original productions and remixes have received widespread support from industry giants such as Nick Warren, Anthony Pappa, Jamie Stevens, Subandrio, Bog, and Maceo Plex - while artists such as Robert Babicz, Ewan Rill, and Loco & Jam have remixed his work. As co-owner and manager of the globally recognised progressive house label Late Night Music – as well as managing the electronica focussed CTL ALT TRIP Records, and A&R for Australian label Bunyip Records - James shows true passion for connecting with like-minded artists in Australia and abroad. His ear for sound sees James working professionally as an engineer at Jack The Bear studios - one of the Southern Hemisphere’s most well-regarded audio workshops - helping artists to perfect their mix and achieve their musical vision in the studio. With his deep knowledge of music and dancefloor programming, James has graced festival stages and nightclub booths across the country, including Subsonic, Elements, Rabbits Eat Lettuce, Burning Seed, and Electric Gardens. He’s played support shows for artists such as Robert Babicz, Sebastian Leger, Dubfire, Henry Saiz, Nick Curly and more. James has more than a decade of continuous radio experience including a weekly headline show on Melbourne’s iconic Kiss FM. He now presents the monthly Friction on Proton Radio to an international audience of dancefloor devotees.

The start of a new year! Happy New Year and wishing you all the best for 2025.

Looking back at the year that was, has been a special moment for me. So many goals achieved that many years ago I would only dream about. Taking my label over to ADE was magical and to cap the year off I've compiled a mix of tracks all released on my label, including some of my own work.

All the tracks are being released on the Late Night Music Annular 2024 - these are my favourite tracks releases on the label last year.

You can listen to the mix or grab all the individual tracks via the links below:

Attention: I’ll be moving my Adam S3A speakers on. If you or anyone you know is interested in a pair, get in contact.

These speakers I’ve had for 3 years and they have taught me so much. Sad to be parting with them, yet I’m upgrading to a whole new audio setup over the next 6months.

Make me an offer, I’m moving to a newly purchased house in 28 days, so looking to move these along before I move. Best offer gets them (preferably someone from Melbourne)

Share around please. 🙏

My newest release Illusions has just dropped. This is a two track EP.

The title track is called Illusions, I made this track with the intention to have a deeper groove, unlike most of the tracks I write. I had a lot of fun making this one and trying something new.

The second track is called Tranquility and is pretty whacky. I drew inspiration from our label's space theme and decided to add some samples from some NASA missions.

And to bring it home, Ewan Rill did a remix of Tranquility and took it to a dark doof vibe. Ewan has been a big part of our label over the years and it's great to be connected with such a great artist.

Go have a listen and thanks for the support. 💜

I had the honors of remixing Katie Underwood's track Beautiful - this is a re-release of this amazing track. I remember when I first heard this many moons ago and it’s a blessing to be able to remix the track and put my touch on it. Katie’s voice is amazing and I had chills up my spin multiple times as I worked on her vocals, just sublime. The track drops in stores on June 30th. Pre-order now - https://www.beatport.com/release/beautiful-2023-remixes/4161804 💜😎🙏
