Globally renowned DJ, producer, and one half of the iconic 2000s duo Astro&Glyde – James Bem reignites the energy and escapism of a simpler era, after building his own hospitality empire in Spain, with the rejuvenation of his immense nineties house repertoire – not least of all, the party-favourite Motivation.
Having held up an unrivalled residency in New York City, at both the marathon weekend leader Le Souk Sunday Sessions, and the mighty Crowbar, James Bem not only helped carve out a new era in underground dance music, but went on to headline top-tier international venues from Singapore to Ibiza and London.
The lifelong DJ and curator has shared stages and toured with the likes of John Digweed, Tiësto, Sasha, Danny Tenaglia, Deep Dish, and Roger Sanchez, and made unforgettable impact in delivering a sensational performance at the one and only Global Gathering in Malaysia. His reach is immeasurable, in short, and 2025 marks a huge moment of rejuvenation for one of electronic music’s most memorable pioneers.
SINC:SESSIONS is the establishment behind the revival of iconic names from music’s past, offering a fresh modern platform to timeless artists and DJs, and gifting them a mass audience of relevant electronic music fans in the process.
Astro&Glyde’s Motivation is one of the first nostalgic tracks to break through the scene, and reignites the genre-fusing bounce and brilliance of iconic melodic house music, as well as providing an inspiring reminder of the talent and passion that James Bem forever brings to the scene.
