Biography

With a career spanning fifteen years, Brighton-born James Connolly hasn’t just survived in the volatile world of electronic music, he’s helped shape it. With releases as both L-Vis 1990 and Dance System, and as the co-founder of highly influential labels, Night Slugs and System Records, Connolly has left an indelible mark on club culture that stretches globally and has influenced a whole new generation of producers and DJs. Connolly revived his Dance System project in 2019, armed with a determination to bring fun back into dance music, as an antidote for the increasingly unsettling political and environmental landscape. “It’s about contextualising, liberating, and proving that fun doesn’t have to mean cheesy. My Dance System project isn’t defined by a particular sound or style, but by a feeling”, Connolly explains. Since then, he’s consistently released a stream of club smashes, and whether he’s working with Hudson Mohawke, I.Jordan, A-Trak, Mark Broom, Herbert, Boston Bun, UNIIQU3, The Blessed Madonna, DJ Deeon, Sally C or Skrillex, the M.O. for Dance System is fun always as precedent. As a DJ, this ethos has seen him tour the world, playing to sell-out crowds at Glastonbury, Coachella, Primavera, Sonar, Berghain, Smart Bar, Ushuaia, Amnesia and Fabric along the way.
