London, Moscow, Sao Paolo, Dublin, Mexico, Shanghai, Tokyo, Athens, Bogota, Amsterdam… In the last year DJ Jim Rivers has travelled the world with his techy, glitchy, groovy electronic sound – and looking back, it has all consistently become crazier, including his debut on Global Underground’s Nubreed series.

Jim has continued to build on his reputation since his first release on the respected Saw Recordings in 2006 (‘Restore/Future’ EP). Since then his work has followed on labels such as Saved, Bedrock, EQ, Baroque, Global Underground, Mouseville, Cr2, Audio Therapy & Renaissance and he has remixed for Nic Fanciulli, Quivver, Gabriel & Dresden and Paul Harris amongst many others. Jim’s second EP for Saw, ‘I Go Deep’ received critical acclaim in the dance music press and A list DJ support globally.

November 2007 saw the launch of Jim’s own imprint, Misfit Records. The label allows Jim to release his own music the way he wants to, showcasing his different sounds and ideas. Now into its 4th release and with some great new music and remixers already on board, including No Brainer, Claes Rosen, Robytek and Kos.

In 2008 Jim developed something of a studio partnership with Paolo Mojo, with two tracks already released; the first ‘Darkplace’ which came on Paolo’s own Oosh imprint late last year and the second track, ‘Ron Hardy Said’ which has just materialised on Eric Prydz’s Mouseville Records imprint. Ethereal UK label Simple recently released Jim’s “Mirage” single, featuring a remix from Tobias.

Further projects include an EP for John Digweed’s Bedrock imprint entitled “Empathy EP”, a remix for Patric la Funk’s Timbee label, further remixes for Bedrock – Morgan Page & Gregory Shiff feat. Astrid Suryanto “All I Know”, Lexicon Avenue “Pursuit” on Forensic, Milton Jackson & Sei A “Glasgow Kiss” on Urban Torque, Lil Dirty “Vintage” on We Love Muzik and for Tomoki & Nono “Park in the Morning” on King Street. He’s also just completed a mix of Oliver Moldan “Pink Mist” for Faith Music along with a 2 track EP for Four: Twenty [due for release March/April 2009].

The last few months have seen Jim gigging all over the world in some of the best clubs on offer today. Whether it’s a beach party in Athens, Pacha Sao Paolo or Arma17 in Moscow, Jim has been taking his sound and vibe to dance floors across the globe and getting rave reviews along the way.
