Real Name:
Gervase E. Cooke
Profile:
Gervase pays heed to his name as being a true Boy Lost In Music. His sound is a mish-mash of the evil warped bass tones and busy drum sounds of that of drum & bass, as well as the light paddy and electro-funk of trance and breaks. His began his career as a D&B producer for S.O.U.R and Emotif Recordings. In the past few years he has slowed the tempos but sped up the pace ... releasing some of the most popular nu skool breaks tunes ever. One of his legendary release was with breaks master FreQ Nasty under the name High Prime. This Marine Parade release was one of the first global nu skool tunes. B.L.I.M's most recent breakbeat project is his label, Track Recordings. The labels' debut release was by him & Chris Carter and contains the tunes " I Am a Robot" and "Check It Out". With the amount of club and air-play these tunes have been getting, Track is most definitely a label to watch for in the upcoming months.

B.L.I.M. has also moved in on the TCR front with a massive collaboration with label-owner Rennie Pilgrem entitled "Eskimo". This humungous tune was named Muzik Magazine's 'Vital Release' in August, as well as included on several major mixed albums including Tayo's Y4K, Koma & Bones' Nu Horizons 2 and Lee Burridge's Global Underground: Nu Breed. B.L.I.M. had his DJ debut as the first artist in the IZM series on TCR with his Modernizm mix. Look for his full length artist album to drop later this year on TCR.

This guy in my opinion is one of the best breaks remixers. You just have to listen to one his remixes to get a feel for his monster phat basslines! One can't help but move your booty. Not to say he isn't a great producer of his own material either!!
