James Hurr is a heavy hitter in the UK electronic music scene, specifically in the house and tech-house worlds. He’s essentially a “producer’s producer”—the guy top-tier DJs go to when they need a track to sound massive.
THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THE TOOLROOM SOUND
With over 100 releases on Toolroom Records alone, James Hurr has cemented himself as a cornerstone of the UK house scene. His production style is characterized by surgical precision, massive basslines, and a relentless “peak-time” energy. Whether collaborating with legends like Mark Knight and Green Velvet or remixing icons like Tiësto, his touch is unmistakable.
FROM CHART-TOPPING ANTHEMS TO GLOBAL STAGES
James Hurr does far more than produce music; he engineers definitive moments for the dance floor. From hitting the UK Top 10 with “Good Love” to his consistent presence in the 101 Producers world rankings, his influence is inescapable.
Beyond his solo artistry, he is the prolific force behind the scenes for the world’s biggest icons. By lending his technical brilliance to names as diverse as Kylie Minogue, Beyoncé, and Robbie Williams, he has become a vital architect of the modern global sound.
HVRR: THE GRITTY EVOLUTION OF TECH-HOUSE
Under his harder-hitting alias HVRR, signed to Ministry of Sound, James explores the grittier, more industrial side of electronic music. It is this versatility—the ability to pivot from soul-infused house to raw, unfiltered warehouse energy—that makes him one of the most respected and sought-after figures in the industry today. James Hurr doesn’t follow trends; he builds the sonic landscape they live in.
