Description
While his mates were torturing Action Man or pestering their parents to visit the Science Museum, J Majik was finding better ways to occupy his time. Seduced by acid house at the age of 12, he hunted down white label imports to hammer on the family stereo.
At 14 he bought his first music equipment and aged just 15 released his first track, ‘6 Million Ways To Die’. Before long he was under the wing of more experienced producers: Dillinja engineered his fresh work and Goldie signed his tracks to Metalheadz. Ten years on he runs the highly regarded Infared label, DJs across the globe and is working on a new artist album.
“When I had first started I couldn’t get DJ gigs but once I put more music out I had people calling me up saying that I should start DJing… I love making music but I love the vibe of being a clubber, dropping the tunes. I think it goes hand in hand now, the production and DJing. I can mould my set now, make a tune that’s jump-up or something really musical that suddenly smashes in.”
FABRICLIVE. 13 is a tightly mixed trip through Jamie’s box of tricks. Classic tracks are reworked and layered with fresh cuts from across the drum n bass spectrum. Highlights include MC Tali’s ‘High Hopes’ re-configured over Infared’s musical ‘Me Lever’ and Generation Dub’s ‘Deliverance’ meeting with Pascal’s timeless ‘P-Funk 04’. There’s Infared’s warm vibes on ‘Capoiera’, J’s own snarling ‘Pitbull’, club favourite ‘Back To Love’, Baron’s mind-bending remix of ‘Nosher’ and Peshay’s Latin inspired ‘Jammin’’.
"The tracks on the mix are really upfront, just what you'd find in my box going to FABRICLIVE. It's musical but with a real energy as I move between styles."
