James Plotkin is an American guitarist and producer from New York City, New York, United States, famous for his role in bands such as Khanate and O.L.D., but with an extensive catalogue outside these bands. He tends to work with grindcore, industrial metal, noise music, drone metal, dark ambient, digital hardcore, and post-metal.

James Plotkin, as a guitarist, bassist and sound arranger, has been at the nexus of extreme and marginal music since his first band, formed in 1986, Old Lady Drivers (later known simply as O.L.D.) released their debut album on the seminal Earache label in 1987. Afterwards he was moving through high impact metal through experiment noise and tingling, metallic ambience. As Plotkin told Outburn magazine "There's never enough outlets for everything because I always have to be doing something."
