Intro

Audiomontage delivers a masterclass in the intersection of organic jazz sensibilities and precision electronic production. The sound is defined by its warmth, characterized by lush Fender Rhodes chords, intricate percussion, and basslines that feel like a physical embrace. It is music that occupies the sophisticated middle ground between the dancefloor and the lounge, never too aggressive but always possessing a compelling rhythmic pulse.

What sets this project apart from Jamie Odell's work as Jimpster is the heightened focus on 'broken' rhythms and jazz-fusion complexity. There is a meticulous attention to detail in how the samples are chopped and layered, creating a dense but breathable sonic environment. It captures a specific era of UK electronic music where the boundaries between deep house, nu-jazz, and downtempo were beautifully blurred.

Start with the album 'Flyin' High' to experience the full breadth of this aesthetic. It perfectly encapsulates that turn-of-the-millennium optimism and sophistication, offering a soundtrack that works just as well for focused creative work as it does for a late-night cocktail hour.

Jimpster (a.k.a. Audiomontage, a.k.a. Franc Spangler, real name Jamie Odell) is a British deep house producer and DJ. Together with Tom Roberts, he founded the labels Freerange Records and Delusions of Grandeur. While producing his own tracks and playing live shows, Jimpster has also worked on remixes, including a remix of the song 400 years by Bob Marley.
