About this user
THE ORGANIC JAM form a mosaic of music through the partnership of top international DJs and world leading virtuoso musicians talented in improvisation. In love with pushing the bounderies of background to foreground music, they pride themselves on non-rehearsals & instead prefer to follow the mood and atmosphere of the audience, improvising as they go, throwing in samples and sound effects to create a completely fresh and unique experience for every event. They like to describe themselves as an antidote to modern day clubbing & chill-out fatigue after seeing onslaughts of live performances with just one man and a computer isolating themselves by one music style. Flipping this concept on it's head, THE ORGANIC JAM's passion is to adventure into sound, unrestricted by music genres by fusing together elements of electronica, soundtracks, bossa, techno, swing, pop, obscure, classical, minimal, electro, blues, dub step and tango, lifting the tempo when felt to bring in hybrid sounds of brazilian & afro tech house, broken beats, nu disco and indie dance. Embarking on a journey into the unchartered, THE ORGANIC JAM explore a universe filled with avant-garde horn solos, intricate percussion patterns, lush sonic textures & willowy basslines, glitchy vibraphones & raindrops immersed in extraordinary soundscapes & crystal clear synths to create a truly eclectic blend of chill out and dance music.
Introducing violin, trumpet, guitar, cello, double bass, flute, saxophone, clarinet, percussion, harp and synths into their mix, THE ORGANIC JAM collective has grown selectively, handpicking an array of musicians from some of the biggest artists/clubs/labels on the planet to create a band that has the rare mix of talent, diversity and flexibility to tailor their music perfectly for your night and beyond.... These artists/clubs/labels include Hot Chip, Mark Ronson, Get Physical Music, Ronnie Scott's, Groove Armada, Amy Winehouse, Basement Jaxx, Zero 7, Prins Thomas & Lindstrom, Jay Z, DFA Records, Roxy Music, Hard-Fi, Wyclef Jean, Kitsune Maison, David Albarn, Fabric, Madonna, Royal Philarmonic Orchestra & Hotel Costes.
In the last 5 years THE ORGANIC JAM have introduced improvised electronic music into the Tate Modern, Buckingham Palace, National History Museum, Royal Acadamy of Art and many of the most prestigious venues across Europe. In 2007 they won 'RSVP Best Music Act Of The Year'. Their continued success has won them sponsorship from TRAKTOR www.native-instruments.com & TONIUM www.pacemaker.net and taken them all around the globe to perform to audiences from 50 to 50,000 for many of the world's top clients - from the Baftas to Mark Ronson to the premier of 'Sex in the City', and this year earning themselves a second residency at Somerset House.

Interests
The Organic Jam only perform live, they never rehearse, they don't have a set-list and they couldn't ever do the same performance twice. It's all about the moment -- an experience or an event that exists between the band and the audience for one time only. The Organic Jam have no intention of releasing any material in the immediate future, even if you could capture the performance in digital format, it would only represent a fraction of the total Organic Jam experience because what they do is so unique to every performance, as they enter into a creative partnership with the crowd, receiving feedback from the dance floor and reinterpreting that response, rewiring the vibe and taking it to a new level. Each of The Organic Jam members feel the progression in the music and anticipate where the performance is going to next. It could change at any moment and pursue a new direction in a second. Taking the concept of the DJ -- presiding over a seamless continuum of music -- The Organic Jam drop sets like a live band creating a 90-minute DJ-mix, reinventing the concept of studio remixing, they create new tracks on stage and remix these ideas live without any planning
