Pylonz

aka PZ, James Meharry


Since the start of the 1990s Christchurch warehouse rave scene, James Meharry – also known as Pylonz – has repeatedly marked himself out within the NZ music industry through his vigorous work as a DJ, promoter, graphic designer, remixer, record label owner, radio station manager and sonic theorist.

Pylonz helped facilitate the local rise of electronic music through rave, jungle/ drum and bass, and soul and roots music. A crucial part of Christchurch's music scene for two decades, he has contributed stylistically to the evolution of music through his theorisation and development of the "3-Beat" micro-genre. More recently, Pylonz has been involved in vinyl record cutting and sleeve/jacket design and production as an art practice.
