Über James Juke

James Juke is one of New York’s most trusted tastemakers—a DJ, curator, and scholar of house music who seamlessly moves between the underground and the spotlight. Born in San Francisco and now based in Brooklyn, he blends disco roots, jackin’ grooves, and garage gold into a sound that honors the past while pushing dancefloors forward. His acclaimed party series, The Jukeboxx, has become a hub for heads, dancers, and DJs alike, reflecting his deep knowledge and soulful approach. Juke has played iconic venues like Le Bain, Webster Hall, Brooklyn Mirage, and Bossa Nova Civic Club, and taken his sound global, from Hamburg’s Golden Pudel to Fünk Club in Mexico City. Whether supporting legends like Disclosure, Todd Terry, and Mike Dunn or producing crossover-ready tracks like “Reaching” with LION BABE (the debut release on A-Trak’s 'A-Trak & Friends' label), Juke brings joy, energy, and authenticity to every set. He’s not just spinning records—he’s building community and carrying the culture of house music forward.
