Jim Breese DJ Profile
Jim Breese is one of the most exciting DJ talents emerging from the UK club scene. He is currently headlining the worlds greatest clubs as resident DJ for the iconic Hed Kandi brand, where he is well versed in peak time, rocking House sets. Though beyond that there is a love of edgier, underground genres including Balearic Chillout and Deep Electronic House- both present in his weekly show broadcast on Ministry of Sound Radio, every Sunday 16:00 - 18:00 (GMT). Recently Jim mixed Hed Kandi's 'Twisted Disco,' 'Stereo Sushi' and 'Disco Heaven' digital download albums and has also co-compiled seven of their renowned and eclectic Serve Chilled, Nu Cool and Beach House collections.
2007 has seen appearances far and wide, including celebrity sunset parties in Dubai, the UK's huge Wildchild and Creamfields festivals, El Divino’s glamorous closing party in ibiza, playing for 10,000 clubbers at Kenting Beach in Taiwan, regular appearances at Superclubs across Europe including: Holland, Germany, Spain, France and the Greek Islands, plus of course so many in the UK. Such variety necessitates a diverse music policy, a challenge he revels in and puts to good use at his myriad weekly residencies such as Match Bar in London.
For three years Jim was resident DJ at Café Mambo in Ibiza, acknowledged as the most important and influential clubbing-bar on earth. He would spin for eight hours each and every day, May until October, playing daytime sets, night time sets, and of course enjoying the endless quest to perfect the art of the Sunset mix, that Holy Grail of Ibiza DJing.
Mambo and the adjacent Café Del Mar are the focal point for the thousands who gather on Ibiza’s ‘Sunset Strip’ each evening, determined to enjoy the communal spectacle as sun descends into the Mediterranean Sea. It’s a magical, emotional moment, one that for three long summers was further enhanced by Jim’s seamlessly chilled and dramatic musical soundtracks.
After sunset the club freaks emerge, joined at Mambo by virtually every international DJ of note - Jim played host each night to legends such as Sanchez, Axwell, Morillo, and Tong- all of whom played weekly, then there were the countless guests! Naturally Jim learnt so much from sharing his booth.
In 2003 he played at MTV Aquasonic, Ibiza's largest open-air festival, plus debuted on BBC Radio 1 with a live ‘Sunset guest mix’ on Pete Tong's Essential Selection - the most popular and acclaimed dance music show on British radio.
The winter saw Jim busy with the Cafe Mambo World Tour, exporting his trademark sound extensively across South East Asia and Australia. One set in the Indonesian paradise of Bali led to Jim being offered the 2004 summer DJ residency at the magical KU DE TA beach club, as well as hosting his own Hero night at the Double Six super-club.
2005 saw Jim Breese further in demand across the globe, traveling to some of the best international club destinations - Ibiza, Moscow, Copenhagen, Bali... and the UK of course. And to top off another successful year, he was handpicked to play for the hugely popular and world-acclaimed Hed Kandi brand, part of the Ministry of Sound empire.
Jim Breese has always been a DJ talent to watch, so now that he’s fully ‘arrived’ look out for him at a dark, pulsing room near you soon!
