Born in Ibiza amidst the rush of the 2nd Summer of Love, Jaime's first contact with electronic music started in what for most can only be described as a most unusual way; that is, if you consider spending time back stage in Amnesia’s office with the tender age of 10 years unusual!

Don’t panic!!,… Jaime was only sleeping there, under the watchful eye of the office secretary, whilst waiting for his father, the infamous, and one of the world’s globally known DJ’s, and pioneer of Balearic Beats in Ibiza DJ Alfredo, to finish one of his legendary 10 hour sets. Nonetheless, few DJ’s can claim to have grown up in what turned out to be the largest youth movement explosion since Rock n Roll: the 2nd Summer of Love and birth of the Rave scene and propulsion of the DJ as the new Rock Star.

Jaime has enjoyed the rare privilege to meet, absorb, and experience all facets of this incredible movement, at the source of its beginning, in Ibiza and with those who, whether individuals, places or moments, collectively played salient roles in the explosion of clubbing as we know it today: from the decadent Ku Club or Shoom, KLF or Adamski, DJ’s Bruno or Pipi, and Space without a roof, to the impromptu open air events, all delivered with little or no intervention of the local authorities (ahhh, those were the days!!) Jaime was there in one way or another.

That Jaime has more clubbing and electronic dance music in his blood than most other DJ’s is no surprise then, and this only continues to manifest itself in that Jaime has played his sets to an ever growing fan base across the globe, showing up at famous club locations such as Manumission’s infamous Carry On after-party and We Love Sundays @ Space; at the legendary club Underground in San Raffael; Mulletover and Secretsundaze in London; Dave Beer’s legendary back2basics in Leeds; Watergate and Panorama Bar in Berlin; and his own illegal “Urban Circus” events in Lausanne, where he raised the roof playing sets with his special blend of East and West Coast influenced European House and Techno styles.

Now entering in his 16th Ibiza season, his 3rd We Love season, an upcoming South America tour, and new label nights at Watergate and Rex in Berlin, Jaime will also be entertaining us in the near future with his special Father & Son back2back nights, whilst continuing to immerse himself in producing his own music, together with his long time friend Petter Samir, aka Mirus Loewe, launching Indigo Raw Recordings on which one can find tracks from the likes of, Ray Okpara, Nekes and Nima Gorji.
