He started spinning at one of his favorite spots in the world, DC10 in Ibiza in 2006 and has made it a point to play there every year since.

Jamie had the honor of being voted the number one DJ by Resident Advisor in 2011.

Together with Lee Foss, Luca C, and Ali Love, also acclaimed musicians and producers, birthed the group Hot Natured and released a full length album in 2013.
