First pricking up the ears of DJs such as Ame, Trickski, Lindstrom & Prins Thomas and Daniel Wang with his critically acclaimed 12 inch vinyl releases Adori's Kitchen and Movin' In, Sydney producer, dj and singer Jamie Lloyd has managed to achieve a remarkable amount in the relatively short time he has been involved in electronic music.
Born into a musical family, Jamie honed his performance and songwriting skills as the frontman of an indie band before venturing into solo production. Drawn to electronic music by influential Sydney club night Mad Racket and vinyl emporium Reachin’ Records, Jamie found himself fascinated by the way artists such as Matthew Herbert were using a combination of found and electronic sounds and soon established a studio of his own to explore his own production ideas.
His debut long player ‘Trouble Within’ received critical acclaim upon its Australian release with local tastemakers praising it as one of the best electronic albums of the year. In 2007, armed with an enigmatic stage show and captivating vocal presence, Jamie Lloyd ventured abroad with successful tours of Europe and South East Asia, not to mention sharing the stage with the likes of Jamie Lidell and Jazzanova.
Jamie Lloyd’s new remix album ‘More Trouble’ archives a collection of dancefloor remixes from the likes of Brennan Green, Trickski, Zwicker, Quarion, Soultourist, Jimi Polar amongst others all released on home label
Future Classic . These remixes have helped Jamie find his way into the record bags of Steve Bug, Laurent Garnier, Daniel Wang, Anja Schneider and Jennifer Cardini, with Jennifer featuring the Quarion remix of ‘May I?’ on her ‘Feeling Strange’ compilation for Kompakt Records in early 2008.
In addition to his active live and dj schedule, Jamie has kept himself busy with a number of collaborations including the release of the discothèque friendly ‘Beatle Pusher EP’ recorded together with friend and label mate Jimi Polar, a collaborative side project ‘Little Hat’ with partner Sui Zhen and vocal contributions for Shahrokh Sound of K on their latest 12” for Compost Black Label.
Jamie has a new party that he would like to invite everyone too. The idea behind the night is to create a comfortable expressive space filled with quality disco, techno and soul straight from the heart for your dancing feet for music and art lovers alike.
ALIBI is a co-production with HAHA founder Dean Dixon. Experimental performances may also be a feature of the new party once the night is underway!
The opening launch of
ALIBI will be on Saturday 14th June at Mr Mary's pub on the corner of Redfern and George Streets, Redfern proper. See you there!
Jamie has been busy of late working from Shop 17 Studio in Redfern on writings and recordings of his new duo Little Hat. Little Hat comprises of Jamie and Becky (
Sui Zhen ). Keep and ear to the ground for the rumble of the Little Hat sound, coming soon!
