Influences: Jimpster
Jimpster's involvement in dance music has been crucial having been involved in a wide array of projects, labels, releases, parties and everything in between. As the founder of Freerange, which is now celebrating its twentieth year of releases, and one of the instigators behind Delusions Of Grandeur his contribution has been vast. As a producer he has crafted a sound which has found relevance in electronic music past and present, he has moved with the times, adapting his sound and establishing himself as an artist in his own right. We caught up with him to talk influences. See his selections below…

This is song that defines my very first experiences of going out to dance, albeit to the school disco at about 5pm in the afternoon at the ripe old age of eleven. You know the kind of thingboys all standing around the outside of the dance floor, occasionally shoving one of your mates into where the girls are doing some kind of line-dancing routine to this track. This is 1983 and I was in the first year of secondary school, just getting hooked on breakdancing which was so important for me as it not only introduced me to some amazing music outside of the pop charts but was also a way to feel slightly less awkward at the school disco once I managed to get a few basics moves down.
