He is best known for his idiosyncratic work in electronic styles such as techno and ambient music in the 1990s, and has also been associated with the electronic subgenre known as intelligent dance music. In 2001, Guardian journalist Paul Lester called James “the most inventive and influential figure in contemporary electronic music”.

In the late 1980s, James became involved in the Cornish free party scene, putting on raves at “secret coves along the coast and behind sand dunes”. Parties were also known to take place at Gwennap Pit. They mainly attracted local youths and travellers, with entrance donations taken in cannabis. The tight-knit community would also put on nights at small clubs in towns around the county, including St. Ives, Porthtowan, and St Austell. James would later refer to this scene as the “best he’s ever been involved in”.

He was born in Limerick, Ireland and raised in Cornwall, England, he later moved to London.

James had no formal music training and is largely self-taught. Prior to becoming a producer, James spent his teens modifying analogue synthesisers and became “addicted to making noises” only later becoming “interested in listening to other people’s stuff”. James states that he spent his initial years “ignorant of music, apart from acid and techno, where I bought just about everything”. He claimed to have been independently making music similar to acid and techno before encountering the styles, and subsequently became enthusiastic about them. He has cited 808 State’s 1988 debut album Newbuild as a major early inspiration. In a 1993 interview, James identified voluntary sleep deprivation as an influence on his productions at that time. He also claimed to have recorded over one thousand unreleased tracks. He later said he experienced synesthesia and utilised lucid dreaming as a means of developing compositional ideas.

The band released their highly acclaimed debut record, Selected Artistic Works 85-92, in the year 1992.

He created a label called Rephlex Records.

James was born on 18 August 1971 in Limerick. In 1996, he said he had a stillborn older brother also named Richard whose name he inherited, though this claim may have been fabricated. He grew up in Cornwall, where he lived in Lanner while attending Redruth School in Redruth. James said he liked growing up there, “being cut off from the city and the rest of the world”. James has stated that an interest in making sounds developed before he got into writing music, and that as a child he enjoyed playing with the strings inside his family piano and disassembling tapes and tape recording equipment. He took an early interest in electronics, and enjoyed modifying analogue synthesisers to create sounds. According to James, at age 11 he won a magazine competition by producing sound on a Sinclair ZX81, a home computer with no sound hardware: “I played around with machine code and found some codes that retuned the TV signal so that it made this really weird noise when you turned the volume up.” This claim was debunked in a Fact article; evidence indicates someone else won the competition, winning £6, not £50.

James began making music aged 14, partially as a refuge from the “bloody awful” Jesus and Mary Chain albums played by his sister. Cornwall had few record shops, but a thriving nightlife in which acid house was popular. James claimed to have been making music with similarities to acid and techno for years before hearing the genres, leading him to purchase every record he could find in the styles. As a teenager, James worked as a DJ at clubs and raves, and included his own tracks in his sets. He studied at Cornwall College from 1988 to 1990 and graduated with a National Diploma in engineering. According to one lecturer, he often wore headphones during practical lessons and had a “kind of mystique about him … I think some of the other students were a bit in awe of him”.

James started a regular DJ slot in 1989, playing alternate weeks at “Fizz-Bomb”, held at The Bowgie nightclub in Crantock. There he met Tom Middleton and Grant Wilson-Claridge. Impressed by James’ music, Middleton played a tape James had given him to another free party organiser in Exeter, who eventually convinced James to release a record on his fledgling record label Mighty Force Records. Similarly impressed, Wilson-Claridge suggested they use some money he inherited to create a record label to release James’ music. He and James founded Rephlex Records in 1991.

The latter two singles, accompanied by music videos directed by Chris Cunningham, brought James attention in the US market.

James’ first release was the 12″ white label EP Analogue Bubblebath, released on Mighty Force in September 1991. The EP made the playlist of Kiss FM, an influential London radio station, giving it wide exposure in the dance music scene. It caught the ear of Renaat Vandepapeliere, the head of R&S Records, at that time one of the leading European rave labels. James visited him in Belgium, bringing with him a box full of cassettes of his music. From these cassettes they picked out tracks for two records, including James’ first album Selected Ambient Works 85-92.
