James Nasty is a quintessential Baltimore club DJ and Producer. He's not someone from somewhere else who plays Baltimore club, he's a young Baltimore cat who has a respect, knowledge and love of the historical background of Baltimore club, and keeps it alive by applying those production standards to his own music. Its hysterically fun and at the same time musically solid. There should be no doubt as to why his original tracks and remixes have been in heavy rotation in clubs from New York City to Paris to Singapore. They boom, bounce, rattle and shake the way Baltimore club is supposed to.
Some say he’s a natural, having grown up in a household full of music. His father was a part time Dj. James used to accompany him on gigs and occasionally get to mix in a few cuts here and there. He's been a classically-trained instrumentalist since age 10 and is a university-trained recording engineer.
His Dj sets include large servings of high-energy, crowd-moving Baltimore Club tracks with heaping sides of showmanship and a touch of the unexpected. He has performed to crowds at some of the definitive venues and parties in Baltimore and Washington DC, including Taxlo at Sonar (voted Best Dance Party in America, Blender Magazine - http://www.blender.com/guide/61220/thebestlist2008travel.html), My Crew Be Unruly at the Paradox, and the Starscape Music Festival. He's played out of town along the east coast and the Midwest including official WMC and SXSW showcases. James Nasty has shared the bill with the likes of Lupe Fiasco, Wu Tang Clan, Kid Cudi, Dj Craze, Tittsworth, Dave Nada, Nadastrom, Dj Sega, Blaqstarr, Oh Snap!, Klever, Treasure Fingers and Baltimore club music legends such as Scottie B, Dj Technics, Jonny Blaze, and DJ Booman.
