JIMPSTER (Live), SHANE JOHNSON (Fish Go Deep) and DONAL DINEEN

Main stage of Savoy hosts two craftsmen of House Music, with legendary Shane Johnson joined by Jimpster, Dónal Dineen spins in the lounge! Jimpster: The UK House craftsman shaping soundscapes with soul and subtlety. If you’ve ever lost yourself in the smooth, rolling rhythms of deep house, you’ve probably had Jimpster to thank without even knowing it. Behind the decks, in the studio, or even just in the groove of his own life, Jimpster—aka Jamie Odell—is one of the quiet yet crucial architects of the genre, a producer who’s somehow managed to keep his sound fresh while paying homage to house music’s roots. With releases stretching back to the early 90’s, Jimpster’s sonic journey has evolved from the cut n paste, sample-heavy bedroom productions of his early releases to the deep house anthems he’s known for today. He’s the artist who’s mastered the art of organic warmth, blending digital precision with analog textures in ways that sound both timeless and ahead of their time. His music often draws from a deep well of influences: jazz, funk, soul, electro and even ambient textures—but it’s always tethered to the dancefloor. He’s the kind of producer who can make a sub-bass rumble feel like a heartbeat while surrounding it with lush, atmospheric synths and intricate percussion that push his tracks into a hypnotic, almost meditative space. Fish Go Deep's Shane Johnson joins Jimpster on main stage of Savoy on Saturday at this years Jazz Festival, while Dónal Dineen fills the dancefloor in the lounge!
