Maggotron (bornJames McCauley, and also known asDXJ,Maggozulu Too,Planet Detroit andBass Master Kahn)[3] is one of the pioneers ofmiami bass music. He usessamples from many sources, and is influenced byParliament,Funkadelic andEarth Wind and Fire among others. In 2000, he collaborated with his former engineerBass Mekanik on the albumBass Alien – Tales from the Lo-Zone. In 2001, he mixed and compiled a CD featuring miami bass classics for Empirewerks Music:Super Bass – Original Old School Booty Shakers. The same year, his compilationElectro Jamz from the Vaults of Jamron Records encompassed miami bass and electro tracks from his early days as a producer and performer. Due to pressure from Pandisc Records, the humour in his later work for Pandisc became less notable.
DXJ's earlier work was characterised by its humorous approach, which can also be seen in his use of pseudonyms.Musically, DXJ's music is characterised by its use of electro/bass beats and rock guitars, as well as vocal samples from all kinds of sources. Cultural and ethnic diversity are also part of the fabric of Maggotron's sound. Men and women of various nationalities have helped work to achieve the sound that Maggotron is noted for.
