Set on being a musician from a very young age, the Zürich-based DJ and multi-
instrumentalist Jimi Jules has dedicated his career to shaking up the electronic
music scene for nearly a decade. Following the completion of Jimi’s master’s
degree in music combined with his Caribbean heritage, having grown up with a
family of voodoo-sorcerers, jazz musicians and classical composers, Jules is
recognised for his collaborative and multidisciplinary approach. The result?
Carefully crafted productions with a deep understanding of arrangements and
musical balance. Well-known for elegantly playing and singing along to his own
tracks, Jimi Jules takes the House and Techno scene on a journey in search for
fresh sounds.
As a producer, Jimi Jules is unassuming. Most notably on his latest album “+”, on
Innervisions, the DJ effortlessly blends nocturnal novels and dance floor romance
with his idea of the future of electronic music – collaborating with renowned
artists like Dixon or Trevor Jackson to push the boundaries even further. Having
previously released music on notable labels such as Watergate, Zukunft,
Rumpelmuisik, most recently Jules was awarded a silver disk marking 200,000
sold copies of the track “Pushin On” released on Defected.
It’s hard to pin Jimi Jules’ DJ sets down to just one genre. Whilst playing (to a large
extent) his own craft, Jules takes both his sound and listeners on a personal
journey – from globally acclaimed stages to the most intimate dance floors of
New York and Paris. With one goal in mind, Jimi’s one wish is to see people dance
and share an energy of togetherness
