NEW JAMIE LLOYD ALBUM – BEWARE OF THE LIGHT- OUT ON THE 26TH OF OCT
First pricking up the ears of DJs such as Ame, Trickski, Lindstrom & Prins Thomas and Daniel Wang with his critically acclaimed 12” vinyl releases ‘Adori’s Kitchen’ (with Putsch 79 remix) and ‘Movin’ In’ (with Brennan Green remix), Sydney producer / DJ / singer Jamie Lloyd has managed to achieve a remarkable amount in the relatively short time he has been involved in electronic music.
Jamie Lloyd’s debut longplayer, “Trouble Within” (Future Classic) received much critical acclaim upon its Australian release with local tastemakers praising it as one of the best electronic albums of the year, drawing comparisons to Matthew Herbert and Jamie Lidell.
“[Jamie Lloyd] takes 80s George Clinton and Arthur Russell-style funk and disco and welds it onto their more recent prodigy – say, Matthew Herbert and Metro Area – to create big thwacking bass lines that rub up against squirming micro-edited bass frequencies, and most impressively, languid, intoxicating songs.” – Matthew Levinson / Cyclic Defrost
‘Trouble Within’ was followed up with remix album ‘More Trouble’ (Future Classic); a collection of dancefloor remixes from luminaries such as Quarion, Brennan Green, Trickski, Zwicker, Soultourist and Jimi Polar among others. These remixes have helped Jamie find his way into the record bags of Steve Bug (Poker Flat), Laurent Garnier (F Communications), Charles Webster (Miso/Defected), Ame (Innervisions), Michael Reinboth (Compost), Llorca (F Communications), Anja Schneider and Jennifer Cardini, with the Quarian remix of ‘May I?’ being featured on Jennifer’s compilation for Kompakt Records in early 2008.
