James Pountney, better known by his stage name Culture Shock, is a British Drum and bass DJ and producer. He is currently signed to RAM Records.

Biography

In 1996, Culture Shock was introduced to Drum and bass while listening to London's pirate radio stations. He set up his own studio with basic equipment at home and recorded his own music. His first release was "The Vega EP" on Moving Shadow in 2004. Two years later, Culture Shock signed with RAM Records after attracting attention of the label's CEO, Andy C. His first EP, titled "The Third Stage" was released in 2007 and featured four tracks, including the track "Rework", co-produced by the Brookes Brothers.[1]

After a longer break, he returned in September 2014 with a remix of Moko's Your Love[2] and the songs Troglodyte and Raindrops.
