Ample Brings Cutting-Edge Music to Seoul
Ample is an entity formed to showcase cutting-edge atmospheric music as well as to be dance floor oriented. It focuses on the spacious deeper-end and accommodates the ``Old Skool'' electronic music lineage, joining like-minded DJs in the Seoul scene.
Ample presents its first guest, Jimpster, at Mansion in Hongdae on Saturday.
The lineup for the night features Djs 4 Play and S at 11 p.m., Jimpster at 1 a.m. and Lowprofile and Kid-B from 3 a.m. Entry is 20,000 won before 11.30 p.m. and 30,000 won after.
Jamie Odell, aka Jimpster, and Audiomontage have been producing, remixing and DJing for the last 17 years and co-running the Freerange Records label for the last 13.
Odell's musical upbringing and early introduction to production and DJing have helped him forge a sound that is warm and deep as well as innovative and club-friendly.
His seminal LP ``Messages From The Hub'' (1997), as well as his more dance floor orientated ``Audiomontage'' records helped establish Jamie as an artist of merit and he quickly became in regular demand as a remixer and co-producer on a wide range of underground projects.
His recent 12-inch records for Freerange include ``Dangly Panther,'' which was nominated for Best Dance Single 2008 in the coveted DJ Mag Best of British Awards, and the lush grooves of ``Sleeper.''
Jamie has also built up his reputation as a highly regarded dj in the UK and around the world. With an emphasis on the deeper end of electronic house music, but not afraid to stray from the path, he retains an old school approach that has seen him booked for gigs as diverse as Fabric (London), Panarama Bar (Berlin), Cocoon (Frankfurt), Cielo (NYC), Yellow (Tokyo), Pacha (Ibiza), Crystal (Istanbul), GOA (Madrid) and Back To Basics (Leeds), and AKA & The End (London).
