He has been active for 15 years & co-running Freerange (aka Freerange Records), for the last ten. His musical upbringing & open minded attitude, to all types of music, has resulted in his productions finding fans internationally, in the electronica, downtempo & house scenes.

His seminal Jimpster LP Messages From The Hub (1997) as well as his more dancefloor orientated Audiomontage 12”s really helped establish Jamie as an artist of some merit and he quickly became in regular demand as a remixer (over 50 at the last count!) and co producer on a wide range of underground projects.

Keep moving, keep moving, keep moving
Always drunk and having fun

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jimpster's song Closer to You describe the intense feeling of longing for someone and the desire to be closer to them physically and emotionally. The singer can see, read and feel the other person's attraction to them as they move closer. The repeated command to "keep moving" suggests a sense of urgency and the singer's willingness to do anything to keep the other person close. The line "always drunk and having fun" could be interpreted as a way to cope with the fear of losing the other person or a way to let go and fully enjoy the moment.

The song is a hypnotic and repetitive dance track that draws the listener in with its pulsing beat and layered instrumentation. It was released in 2006 as part of Jimpster's album "Amour" and has since become a fan favorite.
