A music junkie since knee high, Leslie has been listening to Electronic Music since he was 14 and picked up the art of record mixing somewhere in 2004 during his 2 year stint in the army. A self taught DJ from scratch, he has since gone on to grace the decks of numerous clubs in Singapore such as Attica, Home, Hide Out and the now defunct Liquid Room and Cocco Latte. More recently he was involved in the Christie’s autumn preview Gala and the Revelation Rave party at St John’s Island. In 2008 he also emerged as one of the top 4 in the much talked about Juice DJ Quest competition held at Ministry of Sound (Singapore). His mixes have also been featured on local radio stations Wkrz 91.3fm and 98.7fm, as well as guest mixes for Stellar Digital podcast and Mixtape Collective (Asia) podcast.
His flexibility and eclectic style of mashing genres together has helped him land gigs in different bar and club settings. As much as he remains a Progressive House advocate, at the club he incorporates anything from electro, techno, tech-house, breaks to trance into his DJ sets. Be it uplifting, groovy or dark, his sets cover a wide spectrum of human emotion. At the bar, you can hear him dish out anything from down-tempo, trip hop, acid jazz, deep house to minimal grooves.
Besides DJ work Leslie spends his free time in his home studio writing music from the heart and without any commercial motive his own productions such as “Empathy” and “The Life of Frankie Wilde” have been on rotation over local airwaves (Lush 99.5fm) since 2007.
To further hone his skills he enlisted with the School of Audio Engineering and graduated with a Diploma of Higher Education where he got involved with the first demo recordings of established Metal outfit, Absence of the Sacred and Battle of the Bands winners 2008, 80% Alcohol.

listen to our latest release [BWO028] CORRUPT COPS EP - GARETH 2DARK supported by Randall Jones, Mike Wall, Dean Facer, Paul Loraine, Kiko Martinez, Igor Marijuan, Tony Rodriguez, DJ Mini and many more!! The first track 'Corrupt Cops' perfectly displays Gareth 2Dark's passion for big drum arrangements, rolling, techy basslines and wonderful melodic chord structures. The second track on the EP 'Northern Lights' has a more progressive Tech House touch and with its huge synth patterns and smoothly arranged drum layers it surely shows why Gareth 2Dark is known as the label's 4am Techno head. Watch out for these tracks it will make every crowd go wild in the early morning hours!!

Hi, DJ Leslie James Everything well? I’m here with a new about my work. It’s the releasing of a remix I produced this summer for Future Shock Records. The track is featured by the female singer Birgit (an incredible voice, for my taste) and it has been a great honour for me to get the chance to work with this Estonian singer. In this case I’m presenting commercial dance music, not trance or electro-trance so I guess it’s an easy listening. Anyway, you have the right word. If you are interested in getting this remix for radio shows or whatever, please, don’t hesitate to contact me. Kind regards and much respect from me.
Hey Buddie. Please just take one minute to cut and paste the link below and cast your vote for me anywhere where you think I rank in your fav DJS,i have never asked anyone to vote for me before, i have been in the top 100 in the DJ LIST for 3 years but never in the DJ MAG version so this year with your help i would love to rectify that.
