Biography:
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.

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.

Bays,
who’s recent performances on John Peel sessions have
confirmed 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 worlds
best
festivals such as Glastonbury, The Big Chill, Womad, Lowlands
and
many others.
