About Me |
|
London, Moscow, Sao Paulo, Dublin, Mexico, Shanghai, Athens, Amsterdam… In the last year Jim has travelled the world with his techy, glitchy, groovy electronic house music - and looking into the future and forthcoming tours and releases, it’s all about to get much crazier. Jim has continued to build on his reputation since his first release on Satoshi Tomiie’s respected Saw Recordings in 2006 (‘Restore/Future’ EP). Since then, releases have followed on labels such as Saved, EQ, Global Underground and Renaissance amongst others and remixes for Nic Fanciulli, Quivver and Gabriel & Dresden all continue to show Jim’s unique style and his take on dance music today.. “It’s young blood like Jim Rivers that keep the scene moving forward. He’s been a real inspiration this year. A top talent” – Dave Seaman “This deliciously balanced DJ is memorable on the palette and versatile enough to work with a wide range of dishes. Enjoy with friends or alone. A future classic in the making” – Paolo Mojo “Jim Rivers is the man to watch…I am a huge fan and am impressed by his ever improving skill” – Satoshi Tomiie December 3rd 2007 sees the launch of his long awaited new imprint, Misfit Records. The label will act as an outlet for Jim’s own records, essentially allowing him to release his music the way that he wants to, showcasing his different sounds & ideas, ranging from deep house & tech house through to progressive house, techno & beyond. The launch track MSF001 is an AA side release entitled ‘The Brassed Off E.P’, featuring two club bombs ‘Brassed Off’ and ‘Dallas’, both of which are now doing the rounds as limited promos and are garnering some seriously heavyweight support along the way. A studio partnership with Paolo Mojo has been turning into a huge success, the initial fruits of their studio sessions, entitled ‘Darkplace’ is out now on Paolo’s Oosh imprint with a superb remix from René Amesz, whilst their 2nd track ‘Ron Hardy Said’ has just been completed and will appear in early 2008 as the second release on his new Misfit imprint. With the launch of Misfit Records imminent, a host of new productions in the pipeline on labels including SIMPLE & Mode and continued touring as a DJ, Jim Rivers is without doubt one of the brightest prospects of the UK scene at the moment …watch this boy fly!

This will be the main outlet for Jim’s original work heading into 2008, with the debut release ’The Brassed Off EP’ kicking the whole show off... |

OUT NOW, available from all cool records shops. Jim Rivers "Vapour EP" - MISFIT Records - MSF002 A. Vapour AA. Haze Jim Rivers' Misfit Records label returns with another storming AA release, this time in the form of "Vapour" and "Haze", two equally different beasts. "Vapour" opts for a powerful main room approach, with its 80's tinged synths and pulsing bassline, all to devastating effect, while "Haze" takes things deep, techno and very cool. Jim Rivers and Misfit Records are both managed exclusively by Decibel Music Management email mike.miller@decibelmusicmanagement.com REACTIONS MATTHEW KING UNIQUE “Jim's new haze track is so good I was moved to pause in my arse wiping duties and listen to it in its entirety. Then I wiped up some puke” NICK WARREN “Two little beauties here, like them both with Vapour just in front” SASHA "Supporting Haze" JOHN DIGWEED “Very strong release, supporting both tracks thanks” JAMES TALK “HAZE IS FUCKING AMAZING, but Vapour is my favourite record this year, the bassline, melodies, groove all make me want to throw my keyboard in the bin” KOS “Haze is the one man! Bang! Wicked! NEIL QUIGLEY “Really liking Vapour, another stormer. Will chart and support” MASON 'Great Jim stuff again - big fan of Vapour here' JOSH GABRIEL (GABRIEL & DRESDEN) “Rarely have I ever played the A side and a B side of the same release. Jim River's second release is the exception. With their driving musical techno aesthetic, both tracks have my full support HAKAN UNSAL “it seems like misfit will be my favorite label very soon..these two tracks are really cool i never heard any bad stuff with rivers sign exactly 8/10” SATOSHI TOMIIE “Both cool, Vapour is the one for me” HECTOR ROMERO “Vapour is the one on this 2 trk EP but Haze doesn't really take 2nd place - it rocks as well” LUKE DZIERZEK “Very constant quality output from Jim. Both very cool tracks, really like the haunting synth noises in Haze, can see this working for me, and Vapour is something that I might play end of night. Thanks - dz OLIVER MOLDAN “Haze is big, very big” HERNAN CATTANEO “I like Vapour a lot mate, thanks for sending will support everywhere” DAVE SEAMAN “Another well crafted slice of Techiness from the reliable Mr Rivers ------------------ James Holden, Richie Hawtin, Trentemoller, Steve Bug, Martinez, Circulation, Border Community, Petter, Nathan Fake, Booka Shade, Get Physical, Satoshi Tomiie, Chab, Buik Project, Peace Division, Poker Flat, Phil Collins, Paul Simon, Alan Partidge, Peter Kay, John Tejada, Sasha, Carl Cox, Pete Tong, Sander Kleinenberg, Sven Vath, Soma, Slam, Goldie, Laurent Garnier, Timo Maas, Jeff Mills, Nic Fancuilli, Tiefschwarz....and too many more to mention ------------------ Sounds Like: techy-housey-glitchy-groovy-electronic-music Record Label: Misfit Records Type of Label: Indie |
