Jaime James' foray into the DJ scene began during the mid-80s in Northern California. Though he was affiliated with various DJ crews, including the award-winning Ladda Sounds, it wasn't until his younger brother brought home a pair of rickety belt-drive Technics and a beat-up 2-channel mixer when things truly began. Back then, his vinyl collection predominantly consisted of hip-hop.
Things quickly gained momentum after the unfortunate passing of the DJ and owner of Divine Styles Productions; Jaime and his brother subsequently assumed ownership and continued to DJ, while also providing sound and lighting reinforcement. Their numerous gigs in the 90s encompassed performances at the nightclubs 111 Minna, City Nights/Club X, Il Pirata, and the Sound Factory. Before taking a hiatus from the music scene, Jaime's most notable achievement was winning top event production honors at the '92 Battle of the Bay-DJ Extravaganza.
Since his return in '05, Jaime has DJ'd a myriad of underground events and clubs around the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. Venues have included 222 Club, Shine SF, Supperclub, TEN15, along with residencies at Anu Bar and the legendary The Endup. He has also DJ'd at events sponsored by the clothing stores Club Monaco, Nike, the national athletic gym 24 Hour Fitness, Jane Magazine, and the '07 San Francisco Fashion Week.
In addition to a 4-year endorsement from Monster Cable Products (USA), he's performed during the '07 and '08 Winter Music Conference (Miami), the '07-'08 Viva La Electronica-World Club Tour (Europe), the '08 LoveFest and '09 LovEvolution (San Francisco), Burning Man '09 (Black Rock Desert, NV), and exclusive DJ sets on international radio stations, such as Borgradio.de-M2M (Germany), Danceradio.gr (Greece), and Radio 3-RNE (Spain).
