Profile: Nominated ‘Best up and coming DJ’ in the M8 Ibiza Dance Awards 2006, Jamie Gittins is a DJ & Promoter whose skills and popularity have become synonymous with Ibiza and have made him a very well respected name in the UK & right across the globe. The past couple of years have seen Jamie tour Australia, Asia, UAE, Mexico, The Middle East, Europe and everywhere in between whilst regularly playing at parties up and down the UK at top venues like Sankeys, Unit 7, The Honey Club, Pacha, The Key, & The Custard Factory + many more. A hugely popular Ibiza profile and two successful Ibiza club brands has seen Jamie spend the past 9 summers on the White Isle enjoying residencies & guest sets at the major clubs on the island… This summer in Ibiza Jamie played sets at Cream, Manumission, Tiesto/The Electrik Playground, Carl Cox & Friends and Pete Tongs Wonderland party as well as being resident and promoting his own FILTHY gorgeous & Disco Bomb branded parties on the island. It was back in summer 2005 that Jamie along with friend and fellow DJ Scott Martin started a small party in San Antonio, Ibiza, called FILTHY gorgeous. In the space of just over 3 years FILTHY gorgeous has exploded into an over-whelmingly successful international party and club brand, receiving astounding feedback and press wherever they go, including: DJ Mag, The Music Industry Manual, 3D World (Sydney), M8 Magazine, One Week To Live, Time Out (UK & Dubai), Ibiza-Spotlight.com, Ibiza Voice.com, Inthemix.com.au & Tilllate.com. During 2006 Fg were chosen to host the 2nd (Coco Loco) room of Mauro Picotto’s award winning Meganite at the worlds biggest club – Privilege. Ibiza 07 saw Fg host a series of parties in various locations & bespoke spaces across the island which included exclusive villa parties, an old strip club, an old zoo whilst hosting rooms at Privilege, Eden & Es Paradis. 2008 saw more of the same with parties and collaborations at Space with Carl Cox & Friends, Eden & Grial as well as frequent parties at the old Strip Club – Azucar, a venue which is perfect for their very own brand of underground tech house & techno. After the success of Fg Jamie started his second party brand with old friend DJ Sean Hughes called Disco Bomb in 2007, undoubtedly that & this summer’s biggest hit with the workers of Ibiza, winning best workers party at the 2008 Worker Awards. Disco Bomb’s Ibiza 08 season included parties at Electric, the club inside the brand new Ibiza Rocks Hotel, Eden & Opium, plus they co-hosted the terrace of Cream @ Amnesia and The Electrik Playground room of Tiesto’s party @ Privilege at various dates throughout the summer. At DiscoBomb the pair can show their more eclectic side with a mash up style music policy of house & Breaks, Rock, Indie, Drum & Bass & Hip Hop to make for a very special electric atmosphere. Jamie is extremely versatile within his DJ sets and has a diverse taste in music. This summer saw him playing all styles from chillout at sunset @ Savannahs/Sugarsea cafes, to Funk & Disco next to the pool at the infamous Es Vive Hotel, to Crunchy Fidget House beats mixed up with Indie/Hip Hop/Breaks/ Rock/D&B at his infamous Disco Bomb parties, to underground house and techno at his peak time club sets. 2008 saw Jamie spending more time in the studio on his music production to take things to a whole new level.
