In 2001, Guardian journalist Paul Lester called James “the most inventive and influential figure in contemporary electronic music”.

In the late 1980s, James became involved in the Cornish free party scene, putting on raves at “secret coves along the coast and behind sand dunes”. Parties were also known to take place at Gwennap Pit. They mainly attracted local youths and travellers, with entrance donations taken in cannabis. The tight-knit community would also put on nights at small clubs in towns around the county, including St. Ives, Porthtowan, and St Austell. James would later refer to this scene as the “best he’s ever been involved in”.

James was born on 18 August 1971 in Limerick. In 1996, he said he had a stillborn older brother also named Richard whose name he inherited, though this claim may have been fabricated. He grew up in Cornwall, where he lived in Lanner while attending Redruth School in Redruth. James said he liked growing up there, “being cut off from the city and the rest of the world”. James has stated that an interest in making sounds developed before he got into writing music, and that as a child he enjoyed playing with the strings inside his family piano and disassembling tapes and tape recording equipment. He took an early interest in electronics, and enjoyed modifying analogue synthesisers to create sounds. According to James, at age 11 he won a magazine competition by producing sound on a Sinclair ZX81, a home computer with no sound hardware: “I played around with machine code and found some codes that retuned the TV signal so that it made this really weird noise when you turned the volume up.” This claim was debunked in a Fact article; evidence indicates someone else won the competition, winning £6, not £50.
