James Zabiela (born August 7, 1979) is a DJ from Southampton in the United Kingdom. His signature style is a fusion of Breakbeat and House music. He is known for his turntable skills, extensive use of loops and effects, and the use of the Pioneer CDJ1000s, EFX1000 as well as more recently using Ableton Live. Zabiela first gained fame in 2000 by winning Muzik Magazine's Bedroom Bedlam competition, Best Bedroom Bedlam DJ 2001, and has since been signed to Sasha's Excession agency. In 2003, he and Paul Sidoli founded the record label Hearing Aid. Recently Zabiela has joined forces with Nic Fanciulli to form the one+one collaboration. Using the Q2 Dual DJ to allow them to independently cue tracks & beats simultaneously, the pair will perform a series of gigs across the US, Europe & Australia.Zabiela also tested the new pioneer DJM800, the CDJ1000MK3 and the EFX 1000 at the 2006 Franfurt Musikmesse.
