He's talented, smart and creative. He's got a great sense of humor and as a social DJ he's not one to shy away from pictures with his fans. But above all that, he has an incredible knowledge and love for music. Since the inception of his career he's had that passion that sets him apart from others. Over the last decade and a half few individuals could claim the type behind-the-scenes influence on American dance culture as Jimmy Van M. His tireless efforts can be credited with having helped advance electronic dance music throughout the North America, opening avenues for artistic expression in dance-clubs that did not previously exist before him and his very unique efforts.
Musically, he is hard to categorize as he is as comfortable with downtempo as he is with house and techno. On all of the projects he's taken on he's explored new sounds and styles, always looking for the next best thing. His strength as a DJ comes from the many years he's had behind the decks. Since 1992 he's invented his own vision and his own way of manipulating and delivering what crowds want at any time of the night, morning, or afternoon.
His seamless, yet effortless style has cemented him as one of the best DJ's for starting the night off, which many will say about his days as a Twilo resident. It was here that Jimmy teamed up with Sasha and John Digweed to bring a new style of clubbing to the masses. A night of adventure became years of fun, which in turn became a tour. Delta Heavy was the first and only rockstar DJ Tour to take place in America with Jimmy as the warm-up. He eased everything into place perfectly, setting the mood with his finesse and finest tunes. As brilliant of a warm up DJ as he is, he still knows how to deliver peaktime slots in the biggest clubs around the world. His control and patience can be felt on the dancefloor as he brings the energy to a new place with each new record. He knows how to push and pull in all the right directions to send your body and mind into frenzy and back. Jimmy has also established himself as a gifted producer in the studio. Creating sounds with collaborators and friends that finds itself in the vast and varied range of house music.
As with the music he picks, the music he makes carries a complexity, sparkle and beauty in it. The time and effort he puts in to deliver the newest and most innovative projects best he can, takes the sort of creative originality that only Jimmy Van M possesses. When it comes to atmosphere, vibe and drive there are very few DJs that can stand alongside Jimmy Van M. Whether it’s putting together a cross-country tour, programming innovative and forward thinking dance music or DJing to thunderous masses anywhere from Buenos Aires to Tokyo he is one of the most characteristic performers to be found anywhere.
The Northern Exposure American Tour 1996, Twilo resident 1996-2000 and Delta Heavy 2001 is to name just a few of the residency or tour events that he has participated in as an artist... Global Gathering 2004, the 25,000 person NYE Millennium in Melbourne, Australia, the first ever Creamfields Russia as well as Creamfields Buenos Aires with 55,000 people in attendance would make up the short-list of some of the most important one-off performance events to ever happen globally within electronic dance music that he has also performed in.
But this tells only part of the story. It was Jimmy’s formative years at his house in Orlando, Florida where things really fell together for him as a DJ. To list all of the artists who played at his house in those early years would be to index the most famous and notorious dj’s globally, as well as hordes of friends that just came by with a bag of new records. For years and years the only residency that interested Jimmy, or most any other dj on any given Sunday, was his home address. These after-parties still get mentioned and name-checked by most anybody that happened to come through town on a whirlwind tour of his cul-de-sac. It was here that Jimmy really developed his very patterned style of playing, layering endlessly characteristic and suggestive tracks for anybody that happened to stop by. These unending Sundays resulted in one of the most artful and layered mixing styles to be found anywhere. From those humble beginnings he took that playing style and his taste for ever-changing and advanced styles of dance music from that notorious little neighborhood to the far reaches of the globe
Jimmy Van M has built a reputation on being among the most patient and sophisticated DJs to be found globally…from his opening sets to his peak-time club sessions and all the way through to the after-hours parties that he’s become so famous for. His ability to deliver music ranging from the deepest of early morning sessions to the most banging and driving peak-hour main-room affairs has placed him in seemingly unlimited and ever-delightful company throughout the world. It remains as one of the most distinguishing features of this very urbane and global performer that, for him, the music must move and then move on.

A few years ago, I accidently met Christopher Lloyd at a coffee shop I was working at when he was preparing to do a run of Death of a Salesman at the theatre next door. I actually didn't realise it was him, but I said "Wow, you remind me of Rev. Jim from Taxi, Christopher Lloyd." He laughed & said "I AM Christopher Llyod! But you are way too young to remember that show." I assured him that I was not. Then, word for word, I recited his monologue from THIS very bit, even acting out the breaking of the cookie, the tasting, the spitting it out!!!! He was floored! He said, "People only remember me from Back to the Future, & hardly anyone remembers me from Taxi, & I've NEVER met ANYONE who could recite that bit word for word! I didn't even remember how it went!" I said at that time it was the funniest thing I had ever seen on television & I had never forgotten it (the guy he was with was also crazy impressed). He autographed a napkin & we taped it to the side of the espresso machine. Years later the coffee shop closed & I've always wondered whatever became of that napkin! Like Sheldon Cooper (from Big Bang) wanted to do with Leonard Nimoy's DNA on a napkin- grow his own Mr. Spock- I could have grown my very own Reverend Jim!!! LOL!!!
@SuperMarioBrosIII
@catharineorellana3522 Wow thanks for sharing that! god Bless.🤗☕♥🙏
@IHScoutII
If you're over fifty it's definitely 50/50 between his Taxi years and BttF movies.
@SuperMarioBrosIII
@@IHScoutII Not only that but Christopher Lloyd and Danny DeVito would work together in two films. They were both in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (1974) and Goin South (1978). 🤗🎥🎬🕵
@theothertonydutch
Kinda funny that he never heard of reruns.
@frogger1952
Seems like a nice guy, no attitude. The other hilarious scene with him is when he went to the motor vehicle department to take the drivers license test and he brought Alex, Elaine, and Louie to help him cheat. So he asks them "what does a yellow light mean" and they reply "slower". So he repeats the same question, but slower. And he does three or four times.
@colintosh5417
Jim did well in life, he went from a taxi driver to a time travelling scientist
@pawpawstew
BACK... TO THE COOKIES!
@1who4me
He also flew a Klingon bird of prey
@MrRyan-wu4jx
I like to think his time traveling and feud with a cartoon rabbit are direct results of eating these cookies.
