Satoshi's summer tour officially kicked off at the SONAR festival in Barcelona. It was an amazing experience with Satoshi playing with techno maestro Jeff Mills in something like an airplane hanger. The Ibiza season is hot and the Def Mix / Saw.Recordings residency at Pacha has been great so far. The night with new Saw Recording artists Audiofly was awesome and they played an incredible set and impressed beyond expectations. Other great parties so far at Womb in Japan, always a superb experience spinning to a native crowd, as well as Echoes and Tartana in Italy. August heats up with 18 gigs in 17 days! It's the climax of the summer holiday season and it?fs hard work but worth every minute in the DJ booth.

Those familiar with the big room sound of Satoshi Tomiie got a taste of his deeper side with the recent Satoshi Tomiie ‘ES-B’ and ‘Renaissance 3D’ compilations. The original mix of “Glow” (originally featured on ‘ES-B’)  embraces dreamy atmospherics, eclectic production and a heavy supply of deep funk.  A sure hit for fans of Swayzak, Martin Landsky and Steve Bug’s Poker Flat Recordings.

The Belgium-based duo Spirit Catcher are on remix duties. They have been on fire with productions surfacing on labels such as 20:20 Vision, Freerange, Missive and Moodmusic.  They have brought their highly polished sound to “Glow” and turned it loose, resulting in a rocking rendition that glows in the first few minutes then explodes to a shimmering future disco rocker.

”Deep and electronic with a nod to the old school - definitely modern house with a twist. Very cool and very now. Love it.” -Pete Heller, UK

“Love it!”  -Tedd Patterson, US

“Its wicked! Great track, really atmospheric, full support!”  -Funk D’void

“Like the Spirit Catcher remix, definitely gonna play it out. Nice summery space disco dubby feel.” - Peter 16 Bit Lolita

“Smooth, beautiful, late night jam. One for the ladies to undress to.” - Onionz

“Spirit Catcheeeeeeeeer !!!!! Yeaaaaaaaah =)”  -Sebastien Ledger

“Wicked..I am sure it make a nice impact 4 am…” - Kammisshake

“ Spirit Catcher one is blinding.” - Paul Harris (Dirty Vegas)

After getting some feedback on his tracks from local DJ’s and producers, Jim set about carving his own sound.  With his first two fully fledged tracks completed, he sent out some emails hoping to get some feedback…That’s when Saw stepped in and decided to sign both of Jim’s tracks.  With these due for release in 2006, along with them being licensed for Satoshi Tommie’s 3D Renaissance mix, this young producer and DJ is one to watch and will be making the dance world sit up and listen.

Jim has been bubbling on the Bristol scene for the last few years, slowly gaining a reputation for his ability behind the decks and being the ‘nicest bloke in Bristol house music’!

Along with his DJing Jim has been steadily carving a sound of his own with his own original productions and edits. 2005 saw his first break through with his first two tracks, ‘Future’ and ‘Restore’ being signed to Satoshi Tomiie’s Saw Recordings imprint, one of the most respected labels in the scene. It was a good break, considering it started with a cheeky email to Satoshi telling him he needed the music on his label!

Satoshi then used both tracks on his acclaimed Renaissance 3D Compilation– and the album and Jim’s tracks have already received critical acclaim from the dance music press. www.jimrivers.co.uk
