About Me


You are now marked on my profile visitor map!
Hello folks, I am Jamie Ball. I make all sorts of music, but I guess I'm known (but not in the biblical sense) mostly for making techno music. Don't expect me to know ANYTHING much about (new) dance music though - never listen to that much of it... Aside from my own, of course - I'm not FULLY retarded :-P
NB Radio one sucks - they cut my sets/music to bits. If you've heard me on that station then you're not getting the full message. I apologise on their behalf for their somewhat blinkered attitudes towards music and I won't be doing anything for them again unless they SIGN SOMETHING to the effect that they won't piss around. Now I know how directors feel when the 'studio' recuts their films. PFFFT.
Having said that, Michael Mann IS being an ASSHOLE by refusing to allow "The Keep" to come out on DVD. I mean, what a goddamned BIGHEAD. It's TOTALLY SWEET in its present form - to quote Dick Jones "Who CARES if it worked or not" ;-)
Anyways, this isn't "welcome to Jamies film revue where he praises loads of stuff everyone else hated" so, without further (is that FARTHER? I'm never sure) ado, here's some shows I am doing soon..
Suicide - 1978 - Ghost rider live - this is beyond 'music'
Are we still married ?
I also help Action Bastard and EN3MY generally wreck things, be it a subway train paint jam or an inane throwdown in a jazz club. I'm involved with the "Misanthrope" sound project in the US, too ("It's basically sex music" - "REALLY ? SEX WITH WHAT ??") ;-)
If you'd like to book me to do something for ya then you can contact me directly for UK stuff - just send me a msg on here don't be shy ;-)
Worldwide bookings get in touch with The Third Movement in Holland or just hassle me endlessly about it trying to get a cheaper price..... Then I will put you onto The Third Movement in Holland.....
That is all !
Oh, and if you've ever come to one of my shows and/or enjoy listening to my music... Well.... That makes me happy so THANKS for that ;-x
Puts on stern face and takes deep breath.....
DO NOT COME HERE POSTING ADVERTS FOR YOUR RELEASES/PARTIES UNLESS YOU ARE A PERSONAL FRIEND AND/OR I'VE GIVEN THE NOD TO IT. MUSIC SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, YELLING ABOUT IT CHEAPENS IT OR DRAWS ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT IT IS NOT MAKING WAVES ON ITS OWN MERIT.(MAYBE, I DUNNO, JUST DON'T POST ADS - RIGHT ?)
