Jamie began to make a name for himself when he became immersed in the infamous East London warehouse party scene in the mid-00s; T-Bar, Kubicle, The End, fabric and many more influential spaces allowed him to make his mark on the city’s scene. Away from the capital, another pivotal outpost was Ibiza, where he spent consecutive summers working and DJing. Jamie’s hard work led to him becoming an integral part of the island and Europe’s music scene. In 2010 he landed a residency at DC-10 for Monday’s worldfamous Circoloco day parties. The following year he was voted World’s No.1 DJ in Resident Advisor’s annual poll, remaining in the top 20 until the polls ended in 2017.
Jamie has also notched up notable positions in DJ Mag’s coveted DJ charts: No. 68 on their 2020 Top 100 and No. 8 on the outlet’s Alternative Top 100, becoming the highest ranking house DJ in the world. He also appeared in the Top 50 of Billboard’s respected Top 100 list in 2018 and 2019, cementing his place as one of the world’s most respected selectors.
In 2013 he launched one of Ibiza’s most popular parties, Paradise, at DC-10. After eight seasons at the club Jamie announced Paradise would be moving to Amnesia in 2021. Over the years the Paradise brand has hosted sell-out shows all over the world, partnering with like minded brands and festivals including The Warehouse Project, Printworks, Tomorrowland, Club Space Miami, The Brooklyn Mirage, We Are Fstvl, BPM and Loveland. In 2017 Jamie launched his Paradise in the Park series, an open air party held in Los Angeles. After two successful sell out years Paradise in the Park will evolve into a two day mini festival in 2021. Jamie has been touring consistently since the late 00’s, criss-crossing the globe to play at shows from Columbia to Japan, Moscow to Miami and Australia. His natural talent, versatility and high work ethic form the foundation of his consistent success, leading to headline slots at the world’s most prestigious electronic music venues and festivals – they include Burning Man, Coachella, Glastonbury, Warung Brazil, Womb Tokyo and many more.
Jamie’s deep passion for music and selecting shines through with every set, his head boppin’ in that trademark style as he channels his unique energy into invigorating dance floors from Sunwaves festival in Romania to closing the main stage at EDC Vegas. In 2018 Jamie started his Las Vegas residency carving out a path for an alternative sound in
Vegas, being one of the first non-EDM acts to hold an esteemed residency in the party hub. That same year Jamie expanded his extensive repertoire with the stunning Opus1 show at London’s esteemed Barbican Centre, developing an innovative classical-meets-electronic concept with Kate Simko, performing live with a 25-piece orchestra. Constantly pushing forwards, daring to experiment and diversify, while holding true to his core sound and ethos, Jamie has demonstrated his natural talent and ingenuity time and again.
A committed studio hound since his very early releases Jamie invests his diverse approach to DJing, and upbeat energy, into his productions. From the highly-regarded Don’t You Remember The Future LP to the unstoppable success of his ubiquitous remix of Azari & III’s ‘Hungry For The Power’, Jamie has produced some of the biggest cuts of the last decade. In fact, that era-defining rework won Defected’s Track of the Decade in 2019, coming top after six rounds of voting and over 600,000 votes. Recent hits include his emotive, funk-drenched rework of Bob Moses ‘Enough to Believe’. His close connection with Damian Lazarus’ groundbreaking Crosstown Rebels label has provided the cornerstone of his discography, more recently showcasing his ability to traverse a number of styles with panache via his own Hot Creations label and sub-divisions, HOT TRAX and Emerald City. As a member of Hot Natured Jamie achieved mainstream success and recognition, breaking into the UK Top 40 with the now-classic ‘Benediction’, with two sold out nights at the Brixton Academy, and headline performances at Coachella and Glastonbury. To date, Jamie’s label Hot Creations has put out over 100 releases, celebrating its milestone with ‘Kooky Chords’, from Jamie himself . The label has also helped launch the careers of numerous artists such as Patrick Topping, Richy Ahmed and Detlef, who make up part of the loyal, creative family Jamie has built around him.

Verse
Spent so many days feeling sorry 4 me,
(When) I knew there was much more that I could be,
But I was just so full of uncertainty,
But then I heard a voice deep inside,
Telling me that fear is just a lie,
B-Sec
So now I'm taking full control,
I'll grab the wheel and wont let go,
No matter where this road may lead,
I won't let nothing stop me,
I'll...Rise
Hook
Rise,
Every time I stumble and fall,
I'll rise, even when I get pushed down,
I'll rise, every morning I wake up I'll thank God 4 another day
I will rise, I'm feeling stronger everyday,
Rise, so high nothing's in my way,
Rise, now I've got wings 2 fly and I wont be denied,
I will rise.
Verse
Sometimes it's hard to see the finish line
When you think you've fallen far behind
But you can't win the race unless you try
So I'll suffer and I'll struggle and I'll push hard
Knowing that end is not that far
Coz anything is possible… If you just believe.
B-Sec
Life can pass you by so fast
So I'll live each day, like it's my last,
And when my strength is at it's end
I won't give up, I won't give in
Hook
Rise,
Every time I stumble and fall,
I'll rise, even when I get pushed down,
I'll rise, every morning I wake up I'll thank God 4 another day
I will rise, I'm feeling stronger everyday,
Rise, so high nothing's in my way,
Rise, now I've got wings 2 fly and I wont be denied,
I will rise.
Bridge -
I'll never fear the darkest night
I will rise
Just like the morning sun
Climbs up in the sky
Hook
Rise,
Every time I stumble and fall,
I'll rise, even when I get pushed down,
I'll rise, every morning I wake up I'll thank God 4 another day
I will rise, I'm feeling stronger everyday,
Rise, so high nothing's in my way,
Rise, now I've got wings 2 fly and I wont be denied,
I will rise
