Living In My Headphones
Living In My Headphones was the name of a mix released by James Lavelle in 2013, and later in 2018 a monthly radio show on Soho Radio. The title is also used for a Spotify playlist that Lavelle has been updating since 2013 with tracks he likes to play.
Living In My Headphones Part 1 - A Night’s Interlude
James Lavelle released the new mix on Febuary 21 2013, with the credits: Mixed by James Lavelle and Charlie May. Programmed by Charlie May. Additional edits by Paul Rogers.[1]
Along with the mix, Lavelle released the following statement:
"Starting the new year I thought it would be good to finally drop a new DJ mix as its been a while. Whilst the band is taking a break I have been getting back to basics and starting to DJ again and work on some more electronic tracks and remixes. Living In My Headphones is the new title of a series I will continue for the foreseeable future with this being the first. As it’s been a while since I have done a mix I wanted to provide a soundtrack to my DJing both past and present with numerous exclusives, edits and remixes, some tracks from past mixes in new forms, classics and new brand new music. Being 2 and a half hours it is also very reflective of a live club DJ set, not split into different parts but as one continuous set and how I like to play out. I hope you can enjoy it both subtly as a soundtrack to your day or night, in headphones or cranked up as if you were right there with me in a club."[2]
