doc Biography & Discography


 
 

Hailing from Washington DC, USA, James Ginzburg left his native country, friends and family for the dreary shores of the UK in 1998. Here he found such a connection with electronic music and dance culture that he decided to make the move a permanent one. As James settled in to life in Bristol, he soon found himself working with a number of local acts and artists, producing hip hop beats with an electronic soul and trademark heavy drums.

Soon James was drawn towards the then emerging Nu Skool Breaks scene ñ and 30Hz was born. Equipment, hardware and numerous analogue synths slowly filled his studio and his knowledge of production sharpened to surgical precision. This reputation for sonic excellence stands before him and 30Hz is now in demand as a mixdown engineer for numerous top acts in dance music.
