James Watts, also known by the moniker KiloWatts, is a Philadelphia-based producer and composer of electronica, breakbeat, techno, and ambient.

KiloWatts has toured across Australia, Canada, Europe, and the United States since 2002. His 2007 release Ground State was said to lead the devoted listener to a state of total hypnosis by Side-Line Magazine.[1] In 2006, Igloo Magazine called his album Routes "a lifetime of travel compressed into an hour of aural head-tripping."[2] His project with Tanner Ross, entitled Voodeux, was reviewed by XLR8R Magazine and could only be described as "...if maverick producers Ricardo Villalobos and Bruno Pronsato plundered Lustmord's harddrive full of tar-black ambience..."[3] His collaboration with Bluetech, called Invisible Allies,[4] was included in Headphone Commute's Best Of 2010 collection.[5]
