    Jamie Jones for next Bedrock

    Jamie's Kiss guest mix this week is absolute class and every mix I've heard from him has been good if not exceptional. His 'Get Lost 2' mix from earlier this year is probably my all time favourite (if you haven't heard it i will personally burn you a copy) and he's been smashing the hell out of most places in London and further abroad. This guy deserves more than anyone to be given a chance at London's EDM mecca, eg. the next Bedrock @ Heaven.

    I didn't go to the last one but from talking to people who did Neil Quigley was a bit of a a dissappointment and it didn't really take off until Digweed stepped up. The style that Jamie plays would be perfect fof the night and for the club and would lead up to what would inevitably be another stellar set from the big D.

    So emails, petitions, or just book every other DJ so they're not available. and if anyone can think of anyone they'd prefer to do the warm-up I'd be interested in hearing who.

    GIVE JONES A CHANCE!!!!

    Peace out.

    I don't know
    but just listen to one of Quigley's set
    from the promos section and his style
    is a great lead up to Diggers. Not too heavy
    just enough of a trip to set the plate properly.

    All in all...I think I will be going back there some time soon

    1. Mexicans/Latinos from the South bringing drugs and killings n' shit.
    2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
    3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
    4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...

    Am I close here?

      I think that he sometimes tries to get it going too soon for Bedrock but im not a huge fan anyway. Phil Thompson used to play ridiculously low bpm deep dark atmospheric stuff and build it up so so slowly which is perfect for Bedrock. Judging by this weeks Kiss set I think Jamie would be perfect. (but then again im the one who said it to Greg in the first place! lol). I think Miss Harris would do a great job too.

        Haven't heard it yet, just wanna chip in and say Cusick would probably do a good warmup too.

        I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

          quigleys fruit seemed to do it for a great lot of you for a few months but was short-lived. i've never been to a 'bedrock' but jamie jones also seems like a more likely candidate since his sounds are a bit rougher and unpredicted.

          quigleys recent toronto set started off nice, but seemed to maintain the same 'ploddyness' throughout.

          that sound, imo, is a dying breed of 'needing to be on time and not fitting all the time' sound 4 hours of fruity prog buildup is OVER

          bring on the filth that is the future!

            I like Jamie...I've mainly formed an impression of him through his production, both in my own collection and as featured in other peoples' mixes. He's put together some real classics... I heard him DJ live once in Chicago and I also have "Get Lost 2"...it really is an excellent mix. However, the one thing with Jamie is...I'm not sure I've ever really heard him bring it, you know? He does great sets for the person who is really in the know as far as tech house goes, great for after hours...but I've yet to really hear him tear into it...

                  Too many DJs are judged by mixes etc. not what they can do live.

                    That's why i think he'd be an ideal warm up for Digweed. He would build the tension without smashing the fuck out of it and then let the big D come and do his thang

                      Tune selection...absolutely yes, although live mixing wise he's definately not flawless

                        They guy does have great taste...if you like groovy tech house

                        Here's some stuff of his I posted...
                        Some more tech house, but this time not quite as minimal and a bit housier. You may have seen some of this guy's releases on Freak 'N Chic and heard his "Amazon" track on recent CDs from Steve Bug and Tiefschwarz. The guy does some keen production and influenced my last mix quite a bit. The first mix is the f'in


                        Also, some more over here...there was a dasding plattenleger set posted, but then I heard that that particular one wasn't him

                              I enjoyed his Kiss100 Transitions guest mix..the beginning did not catch me too much but the second half was really good.
