Dance System live from All Points East

Dance System鈥檚 set from the 6 Music Stage at All Points East 2022.

Headliner Dance System's set from the All Points East festival in East London.
Dance System is the work of DJ, producer and label owner James Connolly. He released his debut album as Dance System, 鈥業n Your System鈥�, in April.
Growing up in Brighton, Connolly began DJing, producing and promoting club nights during his teenage years. In 2008, he made his debut under his L-Vis 1990 moniker, releasing an eponymous EP. He is a co-founder of the highly influential label Night Slugs.
Around 2015 he took a 5 year hiatus away from dance music, started working more with vocalists and sound design.
Connolly relocated to Italy just when lockdown hit. All his shows were cancelled and releases were put on hold. In response to quarantine, residents in Connolly鈥檚 Roman neighbourhood were hosting 鈥渇lash parties鈥�; everyone would gather on their balconies at 6pm and play music, sing, and bash pots and pans. This became his daily respite, and one night, Connolly decided to move his speakers out onto the balcony and blast out Blah Blah Blah by Italo dance legend Gigi D鈥橝gostino. 鈥淓veryone went wild鈥� recalls Connolly, 鈥淭hey were dancing, whistling and cheering. I felt completely revitalised and decided to make a Dance System edit of the track to play on the balcony the next evening.鈥�
At the end of 2020, he released his star-studded 20-track mixtape 鈥榃here鈥檚 The Party At?', featuring collaborations with Hudson Mohawke, India Jordan, A-Trak, DJ Deeon, Sally C, Cromby, Shadow Child, Herbert, UNIIQU3, Hugo Paris and more.
He says of the mixtape: 鈥淭his isn鈥檛 about house or techno; it鈥檚 about fun, playful dance music, and I chose collaborators based solely on that 鈥� old and new friends from all different sides of dance music, coming together for one big, fun party."
