"Kilowatts"
Jamie Watts is an internationally renowned and accomplished music composer of a wide range of electronic music. Over the past 10 years he has produced numerous releases and remixes distributed worldwide. In 2011, he toured extensively across Australia, Canada, and the United States. As a classically trained pianist, his penchant for melody naturally infiltrates his controlled electronic compositions to create something authentically cybernetic. Whether expressing the warmth of the heart through lush chords and melodies, or engaging extraterrestrial aliens through twisted granular tractor-beams, James Watts is committed to sharing music with the world, and beyond.
KiloWatts has worked with some truly great minds, including Bluetech, Bil Bless, Tanner Ross, Peter Van Ewijk, and labels Native State Records, Mothership, Dependent, Harmonious Discord, and Thoughtless Music. 2011 included releases on the Canadian Thoughtless Music label, and Austin-based Harmonious Discord. His own imprint, KiloWatts Music, showcased a new solo EP, "The Right Words". His most recent project, Invisible Allies, is a collaboration with Bluetech, exploring futuristic spacefunk, textural ambient, odd time signatures, complex harmonic developments, detailed digitalia and a sublime sense of the exotic.
Some collaborative highlights are as follows:
Skeetaz, with breakbeat cohort Bil Bless brings hard-hitting digital glitched-out psychedelic funk. His collaboration with singer Peter Van Ewijk is a mystical ride with vocals and guitar, nested atop edgy electronica. With Tanner Ross, an eerie style of dark techno is born under the name Voodeux for Dirtybird’s techno sublabel Mothership. Fellow Philadelphian MC Amagine delivers consciousness-driven motifs in their digital glitch-hop project called Super Galactic Expansive.
