# James Zabiela

James Zabiela is a DJ and producer from Southampton, England. In his early years his signature style was a fusion of Breakbeat and progressive house music; more recently, however, he is regarded as a progressive house, techno and acid house DJ although his use of Breakbeat music is still key to some parts of his sets. He is known for his turntable skills, extensive use of loops and effects, and the use of Pioneer CDJ-2000s, EFX1000, RMX1000 as well as using Ableton Live with various controllers and sometimes an iPad.
Zabiela first gained fame in 2000 by winning Muzik Magazine's Bedroom Bedlam competition, Best Bedroom Bedlam DJ 2001.
Since 2005, he has received sponsorships from Japanese manufacturer Pioneer, a relationship which continues until today.
