What's the deal with Jimmy Van?

Formerly the opening DJ for S&D, he has now become a sad shell of a DJ. As the transition DJ for Lee Burridge on saturday - after a wicked set by BK - he cleared the floor with such gems as the beatle's rocket man (huh? even a year ago it sux'd!) and a tears for fears remix of shout (who bothered to remix this track anyway?). he cut the energy level in half and i felt like i was wading through molasses.


Take me on a rocket ride....

We talking about Brett King right? Bummer to see all the energy Brett build up fall flat on its face when Van M hit the decks...

JVM completly sucked at spundae the last 3 times i've seen him there.

Re:: What the hell happened to Jimmy Van M??

when JVM's tag-teaming he does kind of kill the mood for the first few swaps... got it together as the night went on the few times i've seen him though.

I was at Spundae watching him trainwreck as well.... ::sigh:: what can you do. As for Lee!!! HE TORE IT UP HARDCORE!!!!!!!!!! Lee's the sh!t, not onlt that but the next day on the boat party he still ripped up even with the boat rocking back and forth skipping through the tracks a little. Boo for Van M, yay for Burridge!!!!!!

I haven't heard anything from JVM for a long ass time. I will say his warmup S&D set in chicago a few years ago was prob. the best I've seen.

And speaking of Burridge......holy shit! Saw him at sound-bar this past weekend and he rocked it.

Jimmy seems like he's in a slump. I enjoyed his Bedrock CD compilation, but it seems he's lost his momentum. Does he still play out with Sasha or Diggers?

was there a falling out?

seems strange in how his chart is trending down...

there was no falling out... and yes he does still play with them. i believe he's busy working behind the scenes though.
he is a business man first and foremost. and he does a lot of business for sasha and john.

Re:: What the hell happened to Jimmy Van M??

Right on...
Jimmy is a cool guy...I remember when he used to hand out promo tapes to anyone who wanted one.

I would walk into Sundance (the record shop he had and started Balance out of the back office) and he would throw one my way....

Feelance icebreakers....Mahatma....Nu Colours....
ahhhh...those were the days!

[Dogthor]

i like what he was doing, but not anymore....

Re:: What the hell happened to Jimmy Van M??

Hmmm

His mix from Pacha from 5-24-2004 is really good....

Excellent set imo....so therefore I dont think he has lost it completely

now sander he has

[Aaron Cook]

His Bedrock CD and his set at Godskitchen last year was for me the nuts!!!

[J-Shock]

His recent sets are amazing. i love Jimmy. his Bedrock cd is a killer and his opening sets for S&D are famous. Maybe he is going through a slump, it happens to the best of us. I will still respect him. And like Chloe said, he is a business man first. And he looks pretty busy with that, so that might be a reason why he is not as "up to it" as he once was.
