Jamie Thomson - Mix For Rufus

Electronic musician, producer and remixer, creates experimental Dub Techno/Ambient/Deep Techno. On such labels as Crossfade Sounds, Slope Point, Ecoul SND, Madah Sounds, Echoshapes, Secret Domain, Superordinate Dub Waves, Hello Strange, Proton Radio, Pirahna Siberia Dub, Liberty Rhythm, Seesaw Records, Techenie. A deep sound, where atmospheric patterns infinitely envelop, move behind them into free space, cosmic vibrations are combined with modern electronic rhythms.

A wee bit of funk, a wee bit of soul, a wee bit of disco and a wee bit of whatever else I fancy.

Blending a mixture of house, techno, disco, and electro(funk), it's safe to say that Jamie covers all bases in his DJ sets. He's been at it long enough spinning at his own and other club nights for 20 years ending up with his current residency playing upstairs in Max's / La Cheetah.

Jamie also hosts the Perennial Favourite show on Radio Buena Vida here in Glasgow - https://buenavida.co.uk/

Owner of 586 Records, in Gateshead. A vinyl only Record Store. All playing, all dancing music selector from Peterlee. Deein the DEX since Summer 1991. 

Resident at "Reverb" in Newcastle, early 2000's and more recently, Resident and co-promoter of "Suono". Occasional DJ for the superb Star And Shadow venue, in Newcastle. Happy, on the dancefloor, or providing the music for the dancers!.

Pretty much every mix found on here was done via 2 turntables, occasionally 2 cdj's and lots of cursing when I've been fighting to either get records in or to stay in. Rare is it, that I've used a computer or edited my mixes. I believe in keeping the human touch!!.

On this page you'll hear many of the tunes I grew up with and loved, around the 1990-1991 mark. I wasn't out clubbing at the beginning of the house explosion - I was listening to Deacon Blue, INXS, New Order, Joy Division, Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and the type of "pop" that is now, more than likely, Balearic!.

I know it's a cliché, but I like to think that some of the mixes, almost tell a story - whether in the mood they create, or with the songs and lyrics within, that are used. Time, thought and a bit of effort have gone into them, so I hope you enjoy them and if you do, please feel free to share with friends - either by pointing them in the direction of my page, or downloading and putting onto disc and listening to, over and over again...x
