Raised in Cornwall, James began DJing at free parties and clubs in the area and around the South West in the late 1980s. His debut EP ''Analogue Bubblebath,'' released in 1991 on Mighty Force Records, brought James an early following; he began to perform across the UK and continental Europe.

His 1992 debut album ''Selected Ambient Works 85–92'', released by Belgian label Apollo, garnered wider critical and popular acclaim.
