BROKEN TOY is 24 year old cutie James Copeland, from Cape Town, South Africa and is now signed to the british label ALCHEMY RECORDS since 2004, who gave us artists such as RINKADINK (Homeworld 3, 2004) and DARK SOHO.

Before becoming a part of the trance scene, James experimented being a guitarist and a bass player in various metal bands. However, this phase quickly gave way to a voracious appetite for electronic music, kick drums and thundering basslines…No one can argue that he made the right decision, considering his raging success throughout the world and all the invitation he gets from prestigious trance festivals such as the FULL MOON FESTIVAL in Germany ( [ www.fullmoon-festival.com ] ).

He started producing and releasing psytrance tracks around 2001 and is a former member of DAMAGE, a full-on project from South Africa. As DAMAGE, he was one of the pioneers of the Cape Town hard psytrance scene, producing music along other south african artists like SHIFT, ARTIFAKT and PHYX.

Moreover, James also formed a side project with his London roommate Vana (RINKADINK) called SNACK ON and we should be expecting releases from this quite promising new act very shortly.

For the time being, BROKEN TOY’s new and first album should be released within the following months on ALCHEMY RECORDS and in order to keep you waiting, here are a few links to the samples of his previous releases :
