Behind the decks, in the studio, or even just in the groove of his own life, Jimpster—aka Jamie Odell—is one of the quiet yet crucial architects of the genre, a producer who’s somehow managed to keep his sound fresh while paying homage to house music’s roots. With releases stretching back to the early 90’s, Jimpster’s sonic journey has evolved from the cut n paste, sample-heavy bedroom productions of his early releases to the deep house anthems he’s known for today. He’s the artist who’s mastered the art of organic warmth, blending digital precision with analog textures in ways that sound both timeless and ahead of their time. His music often draws from a deep well of influences: jazz, funk, soul, electro and even ambient textures—but it’s always tethered to the dancefloor. He’s the kind of producer who can make a sub-bass rumble feel like a heartbeat while surrounding it with lush, atmospheric synths and intricate percussion that push his tracks into a hypnotic, almost meditative space.

OPEN presents: Jmpster.

Jimpster’s discography is packed with both original tracks and remixes that make you move without even realising it: there’s the spaced-out, trippy disco allure of English Rose, the groove-heavy slo-mo swagger of The Sun Comes Up (which is basically the soundtrack to that sunset), and let’s not forget the timeless Dangly Panther. Each track feels like a wave—a smooth ride that pulls you along effortlessly but leaves you wanting more. His remix of Osunlade’s Momma’s Groove has become iconic but he has also offered his golden touch to artists as diverse as Seal, Bob Marley, Kerri Chandler, Josh Wink and Adam Port to name just a few.
