Jaime James and his 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 that things truly began. Back then, his vinyl record weapon of choice predominantly incorporated 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.
More than ten years later and with mobile DJing far behind him, Jaime returned to the scene in the Spring of 2005, with a calling to dance music. He DJs under his birth name, Jaime James, and occasionally under the alias Gaijin. Jaime's mixing style blends minimal, techno, tech-house, and other dance genres that he feels will move the crowd.
Since his return, Jaime has DJ'd numerous underground events and clubs around the San Francisco Bay Area. Venues included 222 Club, Shine SF, Supperclub, TEN15, and 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 fitness center chain 24 Hour Fitness, Jane Magazine, and the 2007 San Francisco Fashion Week. In addition to an endorsement from Monster Cable Products (USA), he's performed during the 2007 and 2008 Winter Music Conference (Miami), the 2007-2008 Viva La Electronica-World Club Tour (Europe), the 2008 Lovefest (San Francisco), including exclusive DJ sets on international radio stations, such as Borgradio.de-M2M (Germany), Danceradio.gr (Greece), and Radio 3-RNE (Spain).
