Early Years
Jamie Jones was born in the 1980s in Wales, United Kingdom. From a young age, he showed a deep interest in music, inspired by the British electronic scene and the sounds of house, techno, and disco. As a teenager, he began collecting vinyl and playing at local parties, developing his unique taste and sense of rhythm.
After moving to London, Jones immersed himself in the capital’s rapidly evolving club culture. It was there he shaped his own style — blending groove, funk, and deep basslines — which later became his signature sound. The diversity of London’s music scene and its underground parties played a key role in defining his artistic direction as both a DJ and a producer.
Career Beginnings and First Success
Jamie’s first releases appeared in the mid-2000s. His debut on Freak n' Chic in 2006 showcased his deep understanding of house culture and immediately drew critical acclaim. The real breakthrough came in 2009 with the track "Summertime", released on Crosstown Rebels. The song became an underground anthem, firmly establishing Jones as one of the leading names of the new generation of house producers.
During this period, he began collaborating with Damian Lazarus and other artists from the Crosstown Rebels circle, helping Jamie gain international recognition. His live sets started appearing at major European festivals — from Sonar to Glastonbury.
Hot Creations and the New House Era
In 2011, Jamie Jones co-founded the label Hot Creations with Lee Foss — now regarded as one of the most influential imprints in the house music industry. The label became a catalyst for a new wave of house — lighter, funkier, melodic, and highly danceable. Through Hot Creations, the world was introduced to artists like Patrick Topping, Richy Ahmed, wAFF, Detlef, Route 94 and many others who shaped the sound of the 2010s.
Later, the label expanded with sub-projects such as Hottrax (for more experimental releases) and Emerald City (a collaboration with Green Velvet, focused on crossover house and vocal tracks).
Paradise — The Legendary Residency
In 2012, Jamie launched the iconic Paradise party series at DC10 (Ibiza). The brand became synonymous with modern house music and unites artists from around the world. Paradise events draw packed crowds each year and are regarded as one of Ibiza’s flagship residencies.
In 2022, the project moved to a new home at Amnesia Ibiza, marking a new chapter in its history. Beyond Ibiza, Paradise has become a fixture at major festivals — Tomorrowland, Coachella, Creamfields, Elrow, and EDC — and hosts standalone events across the globe (Miami, Los Angeles, London, Buenos Aires).
