FABRICLIVE. 13 is a tightly mixed trip through Jamie’s box of tricks. Classic tracks are reworked and layered with fresh cuts from across the drum n bass spectrum. Highlights include MC Tali’s ‘High Hopes’ re-configured over Infared’s musical ‘Me Lever’ and Generation Dub’s ‘Deliverance’ meeting with Pascal’s timeless ‘P-Funk 04’. There’s Infared’s warm vibes on ‘Capoiera’, J’s own snarling ‘Pitbull’, club favourite ‘Back To Love’, Baron’s mind-bending remix of ‘Nosher’ and Peshay’s Latin inspired ‘Jammin’’.

BORN
London, 1977
FAMILY
“There was a time when I was going out a lot, I got into
dance music at a very early age and went to all the clubs I could get into. I
was going to raves in the area to listen to the music – it wasn’t like I was a
tearaway or anything. It didn’t really infringe on my education and when the
time came when it was a choice between school and music, I was earning enough
to justify what I was doing at that point. So I was lucky to get into it early
really. My parents are in the film business so they haven’t done a kind of 9
to 5 and they’re very laidback. They’re proud of what I do and take an active
interest in it.”
MUSICAL ROOTS
“I got into music quite young, 12 or 13 I was into Acid
House as it was back then and started collecting and getting my hands on white
labels. I didn’t have decks at that stage; I’d just put a record on and do it
to tape. A friend of mine got decks and I used to go round there after school,
the social group I was with were really into mixing and music and that led the
direction of music I got into. We weren’t going out clubbing or anything…
‘cause we couldn’t get into places. A lot of stuff back then, like ‘Spiral
Tribe’ and stuff up near where I lived we often in fields and used to get
cancelled. I used to listen to stuff on pirate radio. Originally the stuff I
was collecting was from Detroit; Carl Craig, Ritchie Hawtin, a lot of the
Detroit guys. At the beginning, I was just into white labels, all different
styles of electronic music. But then I ended up getting into drum n bass as it
is now through hardcore, then jungle, and now it’s called drum n bass.”
FIRST PROJECTS
“I produced my first track ‘6 million Ways to die’ when I
was 14, and it was released when I was 15. I was really young. I wasn’t signed
to anyone but at that stage I was putting stuff out on Planet Earth, Lemon D’s
label. Lemon D and Dillinja used to engineer for me when I was 15, I used to
go up to his place in Brixton and sit there for the day with them."
PRODUCTION & LABELS
“I started Infared in about ’93, ’94 just as a place to
put my own stuff out on. Since then I’ve concentrated more on my own label.
I’ve got Futurebound, a guy from Liverpool, and Wiccaman as the main people
recording on the label at the moment. I’ve had releases from all sorts though,
like Goldie, Photek, John B, Total Science who are obviously bigger dnb names.
Infared has been known for a lot of different sounds. At first it was very
cinematic sound, quite leftfield drum n bass when I first started. Since I’ve
been DJing more and more I’ve come to see it just as energy music. It’s not
one style.. when I did ‘Love is not a game’ and ‘Space Invaders’ Infared was
considered to be a disco drum n bass label, but you know, someone hears one
track and decides to label it. For me as a DJ I play pretty much anything, if
I think it’s good and there’s energy to it. I play club music, not dark, not
jazzy but whatever. There’s a certain sound to Infared but it’s not a dark or
jazzy sound so it’s quite difficult to label it. Energy really…. I did a
compilation DMC mix a while back. I’d done them on my own label, I used to
when I first started but not for about 6 years. The first was when I was 19,
20. It was just 12 tracks some different styles at the time. I’ve also
released on Defected… ‘Love Is Not A Game’ which went to #33 in the charts
with Kathy Brown, the Space Invaders mix and I’ve just remixed ‘A Samba’ which
has sort of an African thing. I’ve done mixes for Groove Armada, I worked with
Everything But The Girl on their last album, produced them. I work with
Wiccaman at the moment, ‘cause I like working with other people, it’s more fun
being in the studio – it’s more the merrier really. I used to do more stuff
myself, but now it’s more fun with other people."
DJING
“I had my first DJ set when I was 14 at a club called ‘Spatz’,
it was after the Astoria and started 6 in the morning going on til 12. I used
to play at various raves around London and became more interested in making
music. I was less a DJ from 14 to 18 when I concentrated on production…. At 15
I had a lot of profile with Metalheadz. I was working with Goldie making
tracks, and producing with him. When I had first started I couldn’t get DJ
gigs but once I put more music out I had people calling me up saying that I
should start DJing again. I was in the studio but eventually I had so many
gigs I couldn’t not do it. The more I did, the more I got right back into it
and now I’m more a DJ again. That’s what I wanted to do, I wanted to mix. It
was a hobby, something I was into that became a business for me. That’s what
it is for me, I love making music, but I love the vibe of being a clubber.
Dropping the tunes. I think it goes hand in hand now, the production and DJing.
Most of the big DJs do. It influences it because you wanna make tracks that
are going get rewound or whatever. I can kinda mould my set now; I can make a
tune that’s jump-up, or really musical and then smashes in an’ gets a good
response. You can write tunes for your set, which is really cool. I work with
MC MC and I’m going to be doing some stuff with GQ this year. There’s an
Infared MC, E-LL, who does some of our nights. I was doing an Infared night at
Turnmills for a while, my night here and we do a lot at student unions across
the UK. America, Switzerland, all over. I don’t have a residency anywhere but
I always play my nights. I go to America every couple of months for a few
days. I don’t like going over to do massive tours. I did last summer with a 15
date tour but I don’t like going away for ages. Tire you out. The scene there
has been big for ages, I’ve been going for 6 or 7 years. Just as busy there as
here, it used to be mostly raves and some clubs but now they’ve got new
legislation over there. So it’s a bit tricky. Russia, Yugoslavia, Solvakia… I
played at the first dance music festival they had in Serbia with Adam F, it
was crazy."
FABRIC
“I’ve been playing fabric since it first opened. I mostly
play in Room 2, ‘cause that’s where the drum n bass is except on a Playaz
night. “
THE FUTURE
“I just keep rollin’ on. I’m doing an Australian tour in
January, carry on DJing and stuff. I’ve got loads of music that I’m working
on.This years been really busy cause we’ve got a couple of new people signed.
I’m working with Terra Deva from Shakedown and Kathy Brown on some new
projects that’ll be surfacing some time in 2004.” |
