He headlined Revival a while back, and absolutely destroyed the place. However, JVM is indeed not for everyone. I absolutely love his opening sets, but, that is because I have an appreciation for things like how tight his mixing is (much improved from the days before he founded Balance w/ Fortier, wherein he was know as Jimmy Van Melatonnin, and couldn't mix to save his life).

I agree Matt...I was at this Revival show and he did destroy. I was really impressed. I have heard the same critism about his downtempo sets putting people to sleep but I believe one doesn't have to be hit over the head in order to appreciate a good set. And yes, most people have only experienced his opening sets which like any respecting DJ who is opening for a prog night...he keeps things slightly downtempo so that the headliner comes out on top and looks like the superstar ... to make sure that they hire your ass again. Jimmy didn't step on any toes on his way up the ladder and served up some beautiful opening sets...sure maybe slightly downtempo compared to those he opened for...but beautiful sets none the less. True prog fans who have seen him outside of his opening act gigs will say nothing but great things. Unfortunately too many times prog DJs who are just starting out get a reputation for being really skilled, which is great, but also rumours often circulate that they pump out sets that are too mellow for a big crowd...that is because those people have never seen them at peak time or when they have been offered the headliner spot. Things change then my friends!!! JVM's Prog is an acquired taste and one I enjoy immensely!I would say though that if you aren't a real lover of the prog that it might not be the show for you.
Now...what to do on the 28th...what to do...dirty house or elegant prog. what's a girl to do? |

whats so bad of putting a downtempo set? whats so bad playing a chill out set? does it really matter for any DJ? personally, i think that the more creative & versitale the DJ is the better! look at Danny Howells, he plays downtempo stuff, hence his 98 Essential Mix! Mark Oliver plays anything and i can tell that this guy loves music, period!
i seen Jimmy once and he was absolutely perfect. he played lots of sweeeeeet vocal prog/house tracks, that made my night :) he has the potential to be a amazing DJ, its just that hes been know for a warm-up for so long. i think hes gonna really surprise everybody at Guv and totally destroy it :D |

Thanks to John for Guestlist (Again as usual dude) and most importantly thanks to Beh for dragging my ass out (although it wasn't quite that hard ;) I'm home early but thats all good. |
