London, Moscow, Sao Paolo, Dublin, Mexico, Shanghai, Athens, Bogota, Singapore, Amsterdam, Novi Sad… in the last year Jim has travelled the world with his techy, glitchy, groovy electronic sound - and looking back on 2008, it has all consistently become crazier, including his debut and subsequent return to Shindig and of course his numerous appearances in The Box @ Ministry of Sound London.

Jim has continued to build on his reputation since his first release on the respected Saw Recordings in 2006 ('Restore/Future' EP). Since then his work has followed on labels such as Saved, Bedrock, EQ, Baroque, Global Underground, Mouseville, Cr2, Audio Therapy & Renaissance and he has remixed for Nic Fanciulli, Quivver, Gabriel & Dresden and Paul Harris amongst many others. Jim's second EP for Saw, 'I Go Deep' received critical acclaim in the dance music press and A list DJ support globally.

November 2007 saw the launch of Jim’s own imprint, Misfit Records. The label allows Jim to release his own music the way he wants to, showcasing his different sounds and ideas. Now into its 4th release and with some great new music and remixers already on board, including No Brainer, Claes Rosen, Robytek and Kos.

In 2008 Jim developed something of a studio partnership with Paolo Mojo, with two tracks already released; the first 'Darkplace' which came on Paolo's own Oosh imprint late last year and the second track, 'Ron Hardy Said' which has just materialised on Eric Prydz’s Mouseville Records imprint. Ethereal UK label Simple recently released Jim’s “Mirage” single, featuring a remix from Tobias.

Further projects include an EP for John Digweed’s Bedrock imprint entitled "Empathy EP", a remix for Patric la Funk’s Timbee label, further remixes for Bedrock - Morgan Page & Gregory Shiff feat. Astrid Suryanto "All I Know", Lexicon Avenue "Pursuit" on Forensic, Milton Jackson & Sei A "Glasgow Kiss" on Urban Torque, Lil Dirty "Vintage" on We Love Muzik and for Tomoki & Nono "Park in the Morning" on King Street. He’s also just completed a mix of Oliver Moldan “Pink Mist” for Faith Music along with a 2 track EP for Four: Twenty [due for release March/April 2009].

Decibel Music Management is now proud to announce that Jim Rivers is to re launch the Nubreed series for Global Underground. This exciting double disc concept, for which Jim is currently busy compiling for, is due for release in late March 2009 and the project will also feature a number of Jim’s own productions & remixes along with a fully branded world tour including a launch party during Miami WMC 2009.

The last few months have seen Jim gigging all over the world in some of the best clubs on offer today. Whether it’s a beach party in Athens, Pacha Sao Paolo or Arma17 in Moscow, Jim has been taking his sound and vibe to dance floors across the globe and getting rave reviews along the way. 2008 saw his debut on John Digweed’s Transitions show, followed by his DJ debut at super club Zouk in Singapore. In July he visited South America for a five date tour for Global Underground (he returns in February 2009 for another eight dates). He's just returned from 5 dates in Japan, including an extended 5 hour set @ AIR Tokyo for Saw Records and before Christmas he returned to Shindig, Urban Gorilla, Russia (first ever Misfit Records party), Liverpool and Kosovo.

With the acclaimed launch of Misfit Records, the release of the Audio Therapy Spring/Summer Sampler (mixed by Jim Rivers), the fantastic Nubreed project in the not so distant future and a host of new productions and continued touring, Jim is without doubt one of the brightest prospects of the UK scene at the moment.
