James Pountney, better known by his stage name Culture Shock, is a British drum and bass DJ and record producer.
In 1996, Culture Shock was introduced to drum and bass while listening to London's pirate radio stations.
Two years later, Culture Shock signed with RAM Records after attracting attention of the label's CEO, Andy C. His first EP, titled "The Third Stage" was released in 2007 and featured four tracks, including the track "Rework", co-produced by the Brookes Brothers.

His song "City Lights", which has featured as an instrumental in his DJ sets since 2009, was picked up by Virgin EMI Records and released in May 2015 with a vocal by Bryn Christopher of I See MONSTAS.
