Universal Vibes presents Jimpster (Freerange Records)
Jamie is a musician/producer/dj based in East London. He is co-founder of the Freerange Records label which was established as an outlet for his own Jimpster and Audiomontage productions in 1996. Rapidly forging a name for himself as a leading producer in the burgeoning nu-jazz, downtempo and jazzy breaks scenes, he soon found himself remixing and producing for the likes of Lamb, Airto Moriera and Coldcut.
His 'Initial' and 'Martian Arts' EPs brought acclaim from such luminaries as Mixmaster Morris, Tom Middleton and Kirk Degiorgio and with the props came opportunities for collaborations and DJ gigs which further helped to establish the Jimpster moniker. His debut album, 'Messages From The Hub' successfully crossed many boundaries with radio support coming from Patrick Forge and Gilles Peterson as well as Mike Chadwick's Cutting Edge show on Jazz FM. His follow up LP 'Domestic Science' was released to critical acclaim last year with singles 'Deep Down' and 'State Of Mind' getting heavy rotation from Robert Elms on his BBC London Live morning show.
Jamie is also a member of highly acclaimed live outfit The Bays, who's recent performances on John Peel sessions confirming them as one of the most important live acts around today. Their spontaneous and totally improvised gigs have been building up a buzz with recent headlining gigs including many of the years biggest festivals such as Glastonbury, The Big Chill, Womad, Lowlands and many others.
