Bearings Jammed aka James Bridgeman is a producer from Bristol with a history of eclectic musical experiences, which can be found in his productions and his Live or DJ sets. “I’ve been making music for the past 15 years; my influences come from a life spent dancing in fields to all manner of underground music.” 

Growing up in the South West of England in the early 90s; 50 minutes from Bristol and 2 hours from London, there were plenty of opportunities to immerse himself in the growing movement of the UK rave scene at the time.
 
“Inspiration for my own productions has come largely from these experiences, of feeling the music in a free and open setting (physically and emotionally) and from an eclectic mix of styles”. More recently his inspiration has come from the shift in technology, allowing anyone who has a computer to be able to make music and get it out there. “The fact that you don’t need a record company or a physical medium to let people hear your music on a huge scale nowadays, means that there are people making music with absolutely no limitations, which makes for an uncensored, albeit saturated, world of music makers, pushing the boundaries like never before and fuelling inspiration to us all”

Bassline driven, spatial, wonky Techno vibes are present in his productions which range from slo mo swanky techno to up-tempo robo-tek jams, always with an air of drama but destined for the dance floor. “My influences growing up came from a broad range of artists like Dave Clark, Photek, ils and Die and more recently artists like Magda, Hobo and Claude VonStroke and labels such as ‘Items and Things’, Minus and Dirtybird records.”

Coming from a generation of self-taught producers where most of the time sound design came in the form of happy accidents, he recently decided to up his game and embark on some cutting edge music education in the form a Dubspot Music Production course “My sound is more defined than it’s ever been and I also say ‘oops’ far less often. My new EP is the culmination of that years’ experience”
