James Pants - Welcome

The year is 2001 and the place is Texas. Stones Throw head honcho Peanut Butter Wolf is DJing as a sharply dressed young man approaches the booth to formally introduce himself. Thus begins the story of James Pants. What began as a dream prom night to see his hero DJ went to an internship at the label to eventually landing the ultimate fantasy by being signed to the roster and championed as the 'next big thing' by none other than Peanut Butter Wolf himself - on top of critics like Busy P, Urb, XLR8R, & Dazed & Confused Magazines. Mr. Pants is a purveyor par excellence of that unmistakable "fresh beat" : 80s Soul, Electro Boogie, Early Rap, New Wave, & Post-Punk Disco, all of which can be found on ‘Welcome’ where James plays drums, keys, guitar and sings. So what is this new style that Pants has invented? Do you play it on the groove alongside the likes of Skyy, Cameo, or even Pharrell (listen to 'KA$H')? Or do you play it in the underground alongside the electro pulse of Egyptian Lover, Cybotron and even Too $hort? The answer, of course, is both! There's enough Pants to fit any style.
