Artist Interview

Knowing what you love and seeing what really works on the dancefloor.

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.

My name is Jamie Webb and I am a resident for SONAR and also Tigermilk bar in Plymouth. my sound is full of energy I would say and if i had to put a name to it, it would be moody and sassy. I love powerful vocals and big chords and plenty of brass and string instruments thrown in for good measure. I play a mixture of disco and house but over the last 28 years as a DJ and Promoter I have varied my sound massively. Think that is part of maturing as a DJ. Knowing what you love and seeing what really works on the dancefloor.

What are your highlights of the past year and what is planned for the future?

Highlights of the past year have being part of amazing SONAR events supporting Fat Tony and the privilege of collaborating with Cultural Vibes. Cultural Vibes was my first step into rave and the club experience at a incredibly young age but it wasn’t an issue back in the day so long as your birth certificate looked ok corrected in pencil. So to be a part of my rave stories beginning was amazing. The future is looking very bright. I have started taking bookings for festivals next year and SONAR events are going from strength to strength as we found our niche with a party built solely around the vibe on the dancefloor. Going back to oldskool principles with the focus on the whole experience of sound, light and crowd energy and less focus on the DJ. I would say we aim for headliners who are party DJ’s rather than producer DJs. The end of the day we all just want to have a fantastic time.

Stick to your sound that you are passionate about...

Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.

I would say to future artists that this is an incredibly tough industry to succeed in. I have been fortunate to see right at the top of the game playing with now household names like Calvin Harris, Pete Tong, Craig Charles, Zane Lowe and Artwork to name some of my favourites. But like any journey there are highs and lows so just remember to accept the tough times and keep going and keep your integrity. Stick to your sound that you are passionate about as going with trends means you are in favour one minute and out of favour the next. Main thing as well is have fun. That was how this scene was built out of joy and connection. If you lose that you will begin to fall out of love with it all.

Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.

So firstly thank you Little South for the invitation to put to the mix together. This mix is house driven from a lot of producers who I look to for inspiration I think full of all the energy and joy I love to bring to the dancefloor from my sets and I hope people enjoy it as much as the roast and glass of wine I had while making it.
