DJ MAG 2022: #84

Corey James is part of a new age of artists at the forefront of the biggest electronic dance music movement of the decade. Hailing from Liverpool, UK, a city whose love for electronic music is culturally infused among its residents, James’ unbridled determination and relentless work ethic from an early stage in his career continue to propel him towards a truly unique and unmatched position in the industry.

Embarking on his journey as a DJ and producer from his early teens, Corey James’ first record signing quickly led to another, snowballing into an impressive resumé that now includes some of the most esteemed labels in modern-day dance music: Size, Spinnin, Axtone, Armada and Protocol. Just the past three years have witnessed James release multiple high-profile collaborations, such as “Orinoco” with Thomas Gold, “Bird Flu” with Tom Staar, “Another Storm” with Third Party, and “Make The Crowd Go” with Teamworx — all of which received critical acclaim by DJs and fans alike.

Since then, he has amassed millions of streams across streaming platforms and positioned himself on 1001Tracklists’ Top 101 Most Supported Producers for three years in a row. His music can now be heard in sets and radio shows from highly revered tastemakers and DJs such as Pete Tong, Faithless, Swedish House Mafia, Tiësto, Afrojack, and Martin Garrix. But that’s not all — even DJ Mag holds him in high regard, dubbing him one of Liverpool’s most exciting new talents.

Unsurprisingly, James is also no stranger to the radio spotlight. Greeted with a quick familiarity on the BBC Radio 1 airwaves, Corey James made his début appearance as a special guest on Steve Angello’s R1 Residency, followed by world premieres of his new music on Pete Tong’s Essential Selection on multiple occasions.

As James’ global profile as a DJ and producer continues to grow at an exponential rate, he regularly gets commissioned for numerous official remixes. His most recent work include remixes for: David Guetta, J.Balvin, and Bebe Rexha’s “Say My Name,” Steve Angello’s “Nothing Scares Me Anymore,” Nicky Romero and Florian Picasso’s “Only For Your Love,” and Flo Rida’s “Dirty Mind.” His “Say My Name” remix, in particular, made great waves in Latin America, accumulating over one million streams and featuring front and center on some of Spotify’s largest editorial playlists.

Corey James has also dialed in performances across multiple continents, his touring regimen making rounds from Miami to Ibiza, London to Amsterdam, Barcelona to Tokyo — including appearances at hallmark festivals and establishments such as Creamfields UK, Printworks, and Hï Ibiza. He has also performed at A Summer Story Festival, Balaton Sound, RFM Somnii Festival, Los Alamos Festival, and the world-renowned Ministry of Sound.

It’s rare to find an all-encompassing artist like Corey James — one whose music speaks louder than their profile, but doesn’t lack in either. There is no doubt that this young talent from Liverpool has a whole lot more to offer, just now starting to engrave in his rightfully earned place in dance music.
