Jimmy Van M Interview

In the half decade that has passed since Jimmy Van M´s ´Compiled & Mixed´ album was released on Bedrock in 2001, much has changed. Many DJs now play music from CD rather than vinyl and buy it on the internet than from a record store, but if there´s one constant that´s remained, it´s the anticipation over the last five years for a new compilation from one of the pioneers of dance music within America. With the arrival of ´Balance 010´, Jimmy presents a triple disc set of music that traverses not only the last half decade, but the decade before that, and the one before that, embodying and presenting music that spans his career and that has helped define him as a DJ. In the midst of a five month worldwide tour to promote the album, Jimmy takes time to tell us more about the album, his return to the studio and production work and much much more.
