DXJ

DXJ (born James McCauley) is one of the pioneers of Bass music. He uses samples from many sources, and is influenced by Parliament/Funkadelic - hence his probably most widely known Maggotron monicker. In 2000, he worked together with his former engineer Bass Mekanik on the album "Bass Alien - Tales from the Lo-Zone". In 2001, he mixed and compiled a CD featuring Miami bass classics for empirewerks music: "Super Bass - Original Old School Booty Shakers". The same year, his compilation "Electro Jamz from the Vaults of Jamron Records" brought Miami bass and electro tracks from his early days as a producer and performer. Due to pressure from Pandisc Records, the humour in his later work for Pandisc became less notable. DXJ's earlier work was characterised by its humorous approach, which can also be seen in his use of pseudonyms. Musically, DXJ's music is characterised by its use of electro/bass beats and rock guitars, as well as vocal samples from all kinds of sources.
