What everyone ought to know…about this rising superstar


From London to Mexico, Dublin to Shanghai, Amsterdam to Novi Sad, Jim Rivers has been there, bringing the world his techy, glitchy, groovy electronic house music – and in just over a week it’s all about to get crazier as he comes to London to head up Coordinated at the Ministry of Sound.

Since releasing his debut EP on the respected SAW Recordings in 2006 (‘Restore/Future’ EP), Jim has continued to build his reputation with releases on labels such as Global Underground and Renaissance, and remixes for the likes of Nic Fanciulli and Gabriel and Dresden, all of which demonstrate Jim’s unique style and take on dance music today.

Speaking about his debut EP, SAW records owner, Satoshi Tomiie said:

"Jim Rivers is the man to watch. His Restore EP which we have received as a demo, and we were amazed by hearing that they are his first production. We snatched straight away for SAW and it is a very rare case for us to do from the demos we are getting. I am impressed by his ever improving skill".



More recently Jim's 2nd EP for Saw, 'I Go Deep' received critical acclaim in the dance music press as well as making the top 10 of the Beatport tech house chart for 3 weeks, peaking at number 3, and being supported across the board by some of the worlds biggest DJ's and taste makers.

However, its not just Jim's production that’s been catching peoples ears. The last few months have seen Jim gigging all over the world in some of the best nightclubs. Whether it’s a beach party in Athens, Pacha in Sao Paulo or a dark sweaty club in Moscow, Jim has been taking his sound and vibe to dancefloors across the globe and getting rave reviews along the way.

"It's young blood like Jim Rivers that keep the scene moving forward. He's been a real inspiration this year. A top talent." - Dave Seaman.
With the launch of Jim’s own label, Misfit Records, in late 2007, a host of new productions for labels such as SIMPLE and Mode, and continued touring, Jim is without doubt one of the brightest prospects of the UK scene at the moment...watch this boy fly!

To catch Jim playing live, come along to the Coordinated party on December 8th at Ministry of Sound. Discounted tickets are available from Ticketweb or drop an email to will@coordinated-london.com for guest list.

Love Jim's production work, especially 'I go deep'. Will be in Stockholm for this sadly, but great guest at a great venue.

Good work guys.

Not so sure about that anymore - I am not playing there anymore and considering having a houseparty instead.

Have seen The Coordinators are playing at The End tomorrow night. Great work. I'll be down for Jaded afterwards if you're planning on hanging around.

We are indeed playing at The End tonight : ) As for Jaded, I hope that I'll be tucked up in bed by then but that plan quite often goes very wrong.....
