Craig James is an EDM producer whose music is as bright and summery as the title of his brand new EP. Out today, ‘Summer’ does exactly what it says on the tin, delivering sunshiney high energy that will see you right through the season – and even if the weather is miserable, ‘Summer’ will make it feel as though the clouds have disappeared.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A collection of five of Craig’s best mixes, ‘Summer’ starts on a high and never lets up. A former member of the British Army, Craig turned his life around, studying music production and sound engineering in London, and is now carving himself a great career as a musician and producer.<\/p>\n

A fan of Calvin Harris, and David Guetta, Craig James’ music is just as brilliant as the giants of electronic music, as he works with a range of different singers and songwriters.<\/p>\n

Opening with the title track, Craig James gets the party started with a female vocalist, who continues onto the second track, ‘Tease You’, amping the rhythms up to warp speed. Track 3, ‘I Wanna Know’, starts off slowly but rapidly picks up the pace before you have a chance to take a breath. The fourth track, ‘Peaches And Cream’ is as deliciously smooth as the dessert itself, indeed it’s “the cherry on my cake” in terms of my favourite on the EP.<\/p>\n

Fifth and final track, ‘Good Feeling’ is the perfect end to the EP, and leaves us excited for more from Craig James…we’re sure there’s plenty more where this all came from!<\/p>\n
