Following international success as one half of "Who Da Funk",Jorge has just finished mixing Subliminal Winter Sessions 4 for Subliminal Records - out February 2007.

And on January 29th DJ and producer Jorge Jaramillo presents his debut artist album, "Girlz Rock Da House Music" on own label Lectro Chik. As the title may suggest, the album is all about the erm, ladies and features a host of female muses: "The audience love what I play," he says, "I make it a great clubbing experience for everyone, especially the girls. I can get dirty in my set, but women don't really dig that all night, so I end up playing for them, and that is a good thing."

Jaramillo is clearly a fan of the spiky and the fluffy in equal measures, recognising the musical worth of sweeter, sparkling instrumentation and production, clearly evident in his loving cover of classic 80s club track "I.O.U" by Freez. Jorge is the first to admit his premiere musical target is the ladies (the men will follow), and the track oozes a confident feminine touch.

Jorge Jaramillo grew up in Miami and lives in New Jersey. He was an avid guitarist and AC/DC fan until he heard the dance music holy grail that is Planet Rock by Africa Bambaata. Jorge says, "I threw the guitar in the closet, bought a mixer and scratched records with a nickel on the needle, learning and developing my skills." In the heady, laid back atmosphere of Miami, Jorge became a battle DJ playing Miami Bass/ booty music with the group Vicious Bass. In 1989, Vicious Bass' first hit "Shake That Thang" was quickly added to regular rotation on Power 96, Vicious Bass" debut album "Back To Haunt You" Cheetah Records reached Gold. This was his first taste of fame: "I just thought, this is it," he says, "had I not been a success at an early age, I may have ended up in gangs and jail. I loved getting into trouble, but DJing soon became such a passion that I no longer had time to find trouble".

In 2002 international dance anthem Shiny Disco Balls embarked on an eight week residency in the UK Top 40 , earned him a coveted performance on Top Of The Pops and cover features in I-DJ and DJ magazines. Shiny Disco Balls was the first house track to ever gain daytime playlisting on America's WKTU and won Jorge also two Miami Winter Music Conference awards, one for "best house track" and the other for "best underground track".

Jorge has worked with Shakira, J-Lo and Cristina Aguilera directed his own music video and is producing and directing a film about the joy of house music. He will also be producing albums for Bloody Marys and Atomic Brain, DJing at the Miami WMC and touring with Erick Morillo and the Subliminal family.

Jorge insists that he's all about a no ego rule and strives to be totally accessible to the fans through his myspace site.

Catch Jorge on a rare south coast apperance for the launch of Subliminal Sessions at The Funktion Rooms, Saturday 24th February.
