James Grant

An in-demand DJ who has performed everywhere from Miami, Tokyo, Goa, and Europe to Central and South America, London-based, internationally renowned producer and tastemaker James Grant is known as much for his work with the popular electronic music label Anjunadeep as he is for his deep, melodic house beats. Along with Jaytech and Jody Wisternoff, he has mixed most of the annual Anjunadeep compilations, with the 14th volume appearing in 2023, and he's released co-productions and remixes with both artists. James Grant is the brother of Jono Grant, co-founder of progressive trance giants Above & Beyond, whom he also manages. After Above & Beyond's Anjunabeats became one of trance's biggest labels during the early 2000s, the duo and James launched sublabel Anjunadeep in 2005, serving as a vehicle for releases that fell outside of the main label's largely trance-oriented oeuvre. James has served as Anjunadeep's A&R since its inception, and since 2008, he's teamed with label regulars such as Jaytech and Andrew Bayer to co-produce remixes of tracks by BT, Full Tilt, Chicane, and others. Jaytech and James Grant released the single "Moth" in 2010, and co-mixed Anjunadeep 02 through 04. Starting with Anjunadeep 05, Grant has split mixing duties with Way Out West's Jody Wisternoff, and the two have occasionally produced tracks together, such as 2019's "Dapple" and 2022's "Pursuit of Happiness." ~ James Christopher Monger & Paul Simpson
