DJ Jimmy Maheras

It's a spiritual thing...

About Me

Growing up in NYC, Jimmy developed his love for house and techno at clubs such as Limelight, Twilo, Tunnel, and Sound Factory, however, his most inspiring nights happened at Danny Tenaglia's Be Yourself party at Vinyl. Danny's marathon sets and Erick Morillo's Subliminal parties were his most direct musical influences.

Jimmy began DJing after relocating from New York to Los Angeles in the late 90s. He has played on both coasts in clubs that include Spundae and Basic in Los Angeles as well as Spider Club and Sin Sin in New York. Much like the old school New York DJs he grew up listening to, Jimmy doesn't limit himself to a single sound. His genre-crossing sets include elements of soulful New York Garage, Detroit Techno, and dark tribal rhythms.

In 2004, DJ Vibe included Jimmy's edit of Pop Out And Play's "While You Were Sleeping" on his Underground Sound of Lisbon compilation for Star 69 Records.

16b - How To Live 100 Years One of the best electronic albums imo. It's too bad it didn't get as much attention as it deserved. The bass, melodies and lyrics are all amazing :)
