About
I'm Jamie, a London-based music professional. I have over 20 years of experience in the music industry, from retail through production to digital product and label management. Starting off behind the counter of a series of respected independent record shops, I worked as a main buyer for the award-winning Sister Ray records in London before going on to manage some iconic UK electronic music labels (Circus Records, DJ Zinc's Bingo Bass among others).
Along the way I also released my own music with an array of acclaimed electronic music labels (Numbers., Unknown To The Unknown, BPitch Control, Boysnoize Records and more) and wrote for Everett True's Plan B music magazine.
