ONE of Huddersfield’s leading DJs has died.

Tributes have poured in following the tragic death of New Mill born James Dyson.

The 24-year-old professional DJ collapsed at home on Monday after suffering a massive brain haemorrhage.

He was rushed to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary but deteriorated and was transferred to Leeds General Infirmary for brain surgery.

But he suffered a second massive haemorrhage and doctors pronounced him clinically brain dead.

His parents, Mick and Anne made the difficult decision to turn off life support so his organs could be donated.

The former Holmfirth High School pupil was one of Huddersfield’s top DJs and shot to fame in 2008 when he won the prestigious Movida Corona UK DJing contest at top London nightclub The Ministry of Sound.

The popular DJ had residencies at Queen Street bar Tokyo and Havana Club in Wakefield.

He also worked at Tokyo’s York premises and had gigged at Gatecrasher in Leeds and abroad.

He was well known in the West Yorkshire scene for his flamboyant style, using a pink telephone instead of headphones.

James’ dad, Mick Dyson, said his son started DJing at 13 and had been developing a flourishing career.

And he said he and wife Anne were absolutely devastated their only child had been taken from them out of the blue.

He said: “James was a friend to everybody – he lit up everybody’s world.

“He was so full of life, he had no enemies, nobody ever had a bad word for him.
