Jimmy Van M

Electronic Producer from Ghent, Belgium. In a world of pop-star DJs, short shelf-lives and shorter attention spans, Jimmy Van M is that rare thing – a craftsman, willing to put in the time, energy and creativity to bring his audience something timeless and distinctive, whether he’s in the studio or performing live. With over 20 years experience, Jimmy has worked tirelessly to spread his sound across America and beyond, and to create unique opportunities for other artists to do the same. Jimmy started DJing in the early nineties, honing his skills at the legendary house parties at his place in Orlando, Florida. These parties saw Jimmy playing alongside anyone and everyone from local friends showing up with a bag of records to the cream of the DJ talent passing through the city. 1996 saw Jimmy joining Sasha and John Digweed on the North American leg of their Northern Exposure tour, and from then until 2000 he was a resident at the world-renowned Twilo in New York, a club often credited with bringing underground house and techno back to the US. Another landmark came in 2002, when Jimmy took to the road with Sasha and Digweed once more, this time for the Delta Heavy tour. Delta Heavy saw the three DJs play 32 gigs in 8 weeks, taking their sound to corners of the States that had previously been neglected by the electronic scene, and laying the foundations for the explosion in popularity that electronic music has witnessed in the States over the past decade. Never one to rest on his laurels, Jimmy has continued to be involved in the biggest and best events in the world, including welcoming in the new millennium with 25000 party-goers in Melbourne, and performing at the first Creamfields Russia in Moscow in 2005 and at Creamfields Buenos Aires in 2009, which drew in an incredible crowd of 55000.
