JAMIE STEVENS

 The heart and soul of Jamie Stevens' extensive body of work is his desire to deliver an individual experience, as he takes us on an excursion into the human psyche with each masterpiece and DJ set. There are only a small number of composers and DJs within the electronic music realm that diligently share the same consistency, quality and humble nature of Jamie. This is Jamie's key attribute that will continue to be the centre-point of his growth as he confidently remains a major contributor, and role model, to the house and techno community on a global scale.

 Through two decades of countless offerings to the electronica world, two ARIA awards (with band members of Australian live act Infusion, responsible for hit releases such as "Girls Can Be Cruel", "Natural" and "Better World”), collaborations (including one with John Digweed and Nick Muir) and remixes of the world's most revered artists, Jamie’s most recent EP releases are a true indication that Mr Stevens has matured into a sophisticated artist with depth and consistency. Stevens' hugely successful 2013 release on microCastle, "The Wonder of You”, is best described by the label: "This is a production that comes from heart.” To really put the nature of this track into perspective, Guy J gives full respect to Jamie’s musical offering, describing the track as “one of the greatest musical pieces of all time”.

 Djing consistently in his hometown of Melbourne at the infamous Tramp Bar and Revolver, Stevens’ sets have also earned him regular spots at revered events like Rainbow Serpent, Let Them Eat Cake and Rancho Relaxo. Stevens has also successfully brought his unique style of storytelling, full of creative energy, atmosphere and hypnotic brilliance to enthusiastic audiences in Argentina, Japan, India, New Caledonia, Germany and Holland.

 Recently, Jamie’s productions have appeared on Cid Inc’s Replug label, Guy J's Lost & Found and Armadillo labels, Dave Seaman’s Selador label, Marc Poppcke's Crossfrontier Audio and remixes for Jeremy Olander, D-Nox, Jam & Spoon (with Uone) and Retza all of which garnered high acclaim. His sound continues to be supported by luminaries such as Sasha, Patrice Bäumel (who included a Stevens remix on his BBC Essential Mix), Guy J, John Digweed (where Stevens’ tracks continue to be aired on Digweed’s Transition shows), Joris Voorn, Jody Wisternoff, Hernan Cattaneo and Lee Burridge.

 We feel John Digweed said it best claiming that Stevens is “on fire right now.”. With more originals and remixes streaming out of his studio, including music for Lee Burridge’s All Day I Dream, we're sure that the best is yet to come and Stevens’ eclectic, heart-felt and hypnotic DJ sets will continue to win new fans across the globe.
