James Pants

Stones Throw, Spokane, USA

What can we say about James Pants? Do you want to hear the whole story about him slipping a tape into Peanut Butter Wolf’s picky pockets, hoping for not more than just a good time with one of his favorite DJs and co-nerds, and receiving an album deal? Or about his youth in Spokane, where he started playing drums and marching in bands, before he was cutting up Steppenwolf on cheap turntables? Let’s rather go back to the future. Pants recently plastered pleasant and surprised expressions on people's faces with his lovely Ka$h tune and the similar infectious Rhythm Trax Vol. 1 EPs that are only a Stones Throw away from the infamous Jive blue print. Another dance floor boogie delight is his Welcome album. Being centered around the cornerstones of hip hop, James rather cares about spontaneous funk then formulaic junk. All that was ever needed is in there. You just need to listen. Who the pants fit, let ‘em wear it.
