Jim Rider has been a key figure in the Electronic Music scene in recent years as a DJ, producer and promoter and is now a truly global artist in his own right. After a short hiatus from the studio, Jim’s artistic drive has continued to thrive in incredible fashion which has seen him release on leading labels including Lee Burridge’s All Day I Dream, TRYBESof and Tale & Tone labels, Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden and Kindisch. This rediscovery also saw the inception of “Signs”, a label founded and curated by Jim to further showcase his own productions and the music of those who share and are aligned with his musical vision reaffirming that Rider has the attention of the dance community’s most influential tastemakers. 

Bursting onto the scene, his 5-track “Popcorn & Politics” EP on TRYBESof was a #1 Beatport category release with follow ups reaching the Organic House top 5 tracks on numerous occasions with records such as his tough yet melodic collab with vocalist Black Soda “Final Straw” plus his standout hit “Two More Days” both on All Day I Dream and the eastern flavoured “In Theory” on Akbal Music. 

2022 was Jim’s true breakout year which saw his debut on All Day I Dream “The Final Straw EP” receive critical acclaim with all four tracks (Final Straw, Los Que Caen, The Cypriot & Rascals) taking over the Beatport charts. His collab EP and a return to Tale & Tone with Eduardo McGregor hit the #4 spot and he made his debut on Nick Warren’s influential label “The Soundgarden. 2023 saw more of the same with further releases on TRYBESof, All Day I Dream and Musique De Lune. Support for his music continues to go from strength to strength with regular support from the world’s biggest DJ’s including Lee Burridge, Nick Warren, Guy Gerber, Hernan Cattaneo, Blond:Ish, Sébastien Léger, Eelke Kleijn, Tim Green, Steve Lawler and many more consistently getting behind Rider’s releases. 

It’s not just in the production space where Rider excels. With dates across Mexico (Tulum, Playa Del Carmen, Juarez, Campeche, Merida and more) where he now calls home for the time being, as well as North American tours taking in the All Day I Dream Festival in California plus numerous club shows in Miami, San Diego, Chicago, New York City, Washington DC, San Francisco, Toronto, Montreal and many more. 2023 also saw Jim’s first Burning Man where (despite the rain) he played at The Playground, Never Sleep Again and Celtic Chaos stages. This year also marked his debut performances in Bali and Australia as well as first visits to Central and South America with shows in Costa Rica, Panama, Argentina and Brazil.

Further afield, he has covered Dubai, the UK, France as well as various shows in Spain and has so far enjoyed two summers as weekly resident for All Day I Dream as they announced full Ibiza seasons every Thursday at the island’s beautiful Cova Santa. 

With an ever impressive list of career achievements to date, Rider has firmly established himself on the electronic music map making him a name to know and watch out for for many many years to come.
