DJ and Toolroom Records founder Mark Knight recently sat down with former England rugby player turned DJ, James Haskell, for an in-depth video interview. The conversation delved into pressing issues within the electronic music industry, the journey that brought them together, and the parallels between their careers.
Toolroom founder Mark Knight aims to bring through the next generation of Toolroom artists and does so here as he introduces James Haskell to the label. James has been on the up over the past two years after graduating from a Toolroom Academy production course, releasing on Toolroom Trax and racking up plenty of gigs along the way.
Toolroom welcome a label debut this month on their Toolroom’s Trax imprint from rugby player, James Haskell, who lands with the brand new, ‘You Need It’ EP. While he possibly may be better known as one of England's rugby players, his presence within the dance community is ever-expanding.
While James Haskell may be known as an England rugby powerhouse, he has also begun to prove his credibility as a DJ as he ventures into the world of house music. Returning for its fifth edition in the series, James Haskell’s Back Row Beats Volume 5 is a soundtrack for your workout, with the rugby professional curating a selection of high energy tracks.
