James Pogson is a UK-based DJ, record label founder, and vinyl archivist rooted in oldies, funk, and rare soul. Through his labels Symphonical and Fantasy Love, James has built a reputation for high-quality reissues and carefully curated compilations that honor overlooked musical legacies. He also hosts Key To Our Love, a bi-monthly show on ROVR Radio that showcases deep cuts and untold stories from across the soul spectrum.

James frequently travels to California to meet and interview the original artists behind his releases—bridging past and present through research, conversation, and connection. As a DJ, his sets reflect this same mission: soulful, story-driven, and built from records with history. He’s played respected venues across the U.K. & Europe, including Brilliant Corners (London), Hosoi (Stockholm), Curtis Audiophile (Barcelona), and Brogatan (Malmö)
