The Home Grown Sounds Podcast… Playing the best in deep house - brought to you by NiteJazz records…..

Home Grown Sounds - NiteJazz Records 021  - Dj Merci

An amalgamation of forward thinkin sounds..

Reachin Around The Shelves

I wrote this song because I struggle with perfectionist paralysis every day of my life.. Just releasing songs is a huge deal when I know they are packed with imperfections..............

Got a hard drive full of could-be gold
Half-built castles, stories untold
A folder marked “someday soon”
Buried deep beneath the moon
Plans in color, stuck in black
Start to climb, then I slide back
Every spark becomes a flame
'Til fear just snuffs it out again

(Pre-Chorus)
I wanna share, I wanna fly
But every time “what if” multiplies
Too many dreams, too little time
All waiting in a perfect line 

(Chorus)
Got the backburner blues, to-do list that’s sky-high
All these half-born worlds just waving goodbye
I can't finish, can't begin
Trapped in loops I’m living in, stuck in perfectionist paralysis

This feeling of not good enough
Telling you its so damn rough
Comparing is the trap, when carving our own path
Easy to point out the flaws
Would rather hear a strong applause
Powering our life, magic through the night

(Pre-Chorus)
I wanna share, I wanna fly
But every time “what if” multiplies
Too many dreams, too little time
All waiting in a perfect line 
(Chorus)

Got the backburner blues, to-do list that’s sky-high
All these half-born worlds just waving goodbye
I can't finish, can't begin
Trapped in loops I’m living in, stuck in perfectionist paralysis, back=burner blues

Missing out on the magic 
Would be oh so tragic
To miss the moment that could change a life
That vulnerability, part of the key to truly feel alive

Perfectionist Paralysis

Jimpster: The UK House craftsman shaping soundscapes with soul and subtlety

If you’ve ever lost yourself in the smooth, rolling rhythms of deep house, you’ve probably had Jimpster to thank without even knowing it.  Behind the decks, in the studio, or even just in the groove of his own life, Jimpster—aka Jamie Odell—is one of the quiet yet crucial architects of the genre, a producer who’s somehow managed to keep his sound fresh while paying homage to house music’s roots.  With releases stretching back to the early 90's, Jimpster’s sonic journey has evolved from the cut n paste, sample-heavy bedroom productions of his early releases to the deep house anthems he’s known for today.  He’s the artist who’s mastered the art of organic warmth, blending digital precision with analog textures in ways that sound both timeless and ahead of their time.  His music often draws from a deep well of influences: jazz, funk, soul, electro and even ambient textures—but it’s always tethered to the dancefloor.  He’s the kind of producer who can make a sub-bass rumble feel like a heartbeat while surrounding it with lush, atmospheric synths and intricate percussion that push his tracks into a hypnotic, almost meditative space.

Jimpster's discography is packed with both original tracks and remixes that make you move without even realising it: there’s the spaced-out, trippy disco allure of “English Rose”, the groove-heavy slo-mo swagger of “The Sun Comes Up” (which is basically the soundtrack to *that* sunset), and let’s not forget the timeless “Dangly Panther.”  Each track feels like a wave—a smooth ride that pulls you along effortlessly but leaves you wanting more.  His remix of Osunlade’s Momma’s Groove has become iconic but he has also offered his golden touch to artists as diverse as Seal, Bob Marley, Kerri Chandler, Josh Wink and Adam Port to name just a few.

But Jimpster’s influence doesn’t just stay in the studio.  As a DJ, his sets are like a carefully curated journey, blending stripped back disco, underground house and the more soulful end of techno into smooth, liquid transitions that captivate without ever feeling rushed.  Whether he’s playing an intimate, low-key club night or a larger festival stage, his mixes retain a sense of control—an ability to weave a narrative out of tempo, tone and texture, always keeping the dancefloor locked in.  From Panorama Bar (Berlin) to Cielo (NYC), Womb (Tokyo) to Fabric (London), Jimpster has pretty much span there and returned with the T shirt.

As co-founder and A&R of Freerange, Delusions Of Grandeur and most recently Cyphon Recordings, he’s helped nurture an entire generation of producers, sharing his deep understanding of groove and sound design with those who came after him.  Despite his three decades in the business and pivotal role in shaping the electronic music landscape, Jimpster remains relentlessly focused on who, or what, will come next, as excited as ever by discovering the freshest new talent and sounds to expose to the world.

Jimpster’s music is a reflection of his unrelenting pursuit of musical depth in club music.  A balance between nostalgic warmth and forward-focussed vision that continues to captivate listeners and dancers alike. For him, it’s not about creating music for the moment, but building sounds that resonate over time, long after the track has finished playing.
