This website is under construction.  I’m building it little by little in order to adequately represent the different projects I’m involved in.

The filmstrip at the top contains all releases I’ve been involved in in chronological order.  Use the left and right buttons to navigate through.  Want to listen? There are links in the filmstrip to listen and buy for each release.

The included musical projects are as follows.

KiloWatts – Members : James Watts

This is my solo project.  6 solo albums, numerous singles and EPs, moving through various styles with a large focus on melody, structure, and high production.  Genres include downtempo, breaks, and techno.  I have a number of free releases available, and most recently released “Undercurrent” on Somnia.  Labels I’m active with are Native State Records, Harmonious Discord and Thoughtless Music.  I’m currently touring with my live show.

Voodeux – Members : James Watts, Tanner Ross

Halloween on wax.  Tanner and I started making music a few years ago and settled on a rather eerie style of techno.  We released our first album “The Paranormal” on San Francisco’s Mothership label.  We are currently taking our live show on the road.

Skeetaz - Members :  James Watts, Bil Bless

No holds barred, bass heavy glitchy breaks, ducks, donkeys, and elephants.  We have a number of vinyl releases, and a full album “Off” released digitally on Proboscis.  We are currently writing our 2nd full length album.

KiloWatts & Vanek – Members : James Watts, Peter Van Ewijk

A mystical ride through vocal storytelling and atmosphere with forward-thinking electronic production.  Peter is on guitar and vocals.  Our 2nd full album “Focus and Flow” was released in 2009 on Dependent, located in Germany.

Super Galactic ExpansiveMembers : James Watts, Anand Petigara

Psychedelic quasi-hip-hop with MC Amagine.  Our first album, “Supersensible Science” is a mammoth production, and set for release in early 2010.

In the near future, the site will include videos and some more organization.
