Purple Music presents: House Music Live @ Atlantis, Basel (Fr 21.09.2007)

Jamie Odell aka Jimpster and Audiomontage has been producing, remixing and Djing for the last 15 years and co-running his Freerange Records label for the last 10 of those.

His musical upbringing and open minded attitude to all types of music have meant his productions have found fans across the globe in the electronica/downtempo as well as house music scenes.

Seminal Jimpster LP’s such as Messages From The Hub and Domestic Science really helped establish Jamie as an artist of some merit and he is now in regular demand as a remixer and co producer on a wide range of underground projects.

Recently described by Ben Watt as a ‘future soul kingpin and bittersweet house don’, Jamie is regularly djing both in the UK and abroad. With an emphasis on top quality house music, but never afraid to stray from the path, he retains a freestyle approach that has seen him booked for gigs as diverse as Fabric, Plastic People, The Naked Music Beach Party at the WMC, Buzzin’ Fly at Neighbourhood and LA’s Bossanova. Othe recent gigs have included Vega in Copenhagen, Metro in Kyoto and Propaganda in Moscow where he has a bi-monthly residency.

Yass:
DJ, Producer, Parisian re-mixer, Resident DJ at the Queen club (Paris), FG Dj radio and ex-resident of LEnfer, he played his first turntables when he was 13, influenced by the great DJs of the world. With his 15 years of experience mixing, he found his technique and style to reach top international DJ-level.

15 years of experience mixing, beginning with 7 years of Hip-Hop. With the influence of the « House music & Rave party » phenomenon and the new talent revealed by the electronic wave which swept through Paris, he gradually developed a club House & techno sound. This opened up a new horizon and he was soon in his element.He played in a number of raves parties, making a name for himself and gaining public recognition.

From 1997, at the end of his sound ingeneer studies, onwards he worked in clubs, developing his style more progressively, House music being his choice of records and life. This was a revelation to him. This movement coming onto the scene as a melting pot of all cultures and musics. He handles this style magnificently, combining his teenage groove with funk, disco, jazz and even techno sound. At the time he mixed five days a week, on the turntables of the capitals biggest clubs. Thanks to the numerous club residences he can carry out his long eclectic sets. He has been side-by-side with many well-known Djs such as DJ Sneak, Johnny Corporate, Kerri Chandler, Dj Gregory, Lego, Little Louie Vega, Dj Deep, Frankie Feliciano, Jazzanova, Claude Young, Roger Sanchez, Martin Solveig, Jamie Lewis In 1999, he began to travel abroad as a guest in foreign clubs.

His present, very club-style «Pumping Soulful House », influenced by the French and New-york scene, can be qualified as unique. In his element from Deep House to Techno, he handles his records like a raw product. His aim, whilst concentrating on the frequencies and the organic side of his mix, is above all to be at one with his public and to give them a Show.
