James Anthony

James Anthony was born for this. Since his earliest childhood years, James caught the disco bug and was instantly fascinated by dance music and DJ culture. It was nobody’s surprised when he was awarded the “Future DJ of America” at his pre-K graduation in 1985 (“He brought records to class every day”!). There is video evidence of all of this. From his gawky teenage years playing Sweet 16s in Knights of Columbus halls to securing his own weekly mixshow on WKTU, New York’s flagship dance music radio station at 21, James has had a unique and adventurous ride both inside and outside the DJ booth. Over the years, James has cultivated a deep wealth of experience as a touring DJ, producer/remixer, social media personality and radio host of the weekly show Get Into The Groove on SiriusXM’s Studio 54 channel. A longtime student of DJ, nightlife and dance music culture, James’ proven versatility and musical intuitiveness in the DJ booth has made him a much sought after name. His ability to rock dancefloors of all different vibes – from soaring disco tea dances to dark underground afterhours- has earned him a reputation as an innovator in the DJ booth who is never afraid to think outside the box to create the perfect sound for every event. His monthly Saturday James Anthony’s House event at The Eagle in New York City has been a cornerstone event since its’ inception in 2022.
