History

Born into a musical family, Jimpster was influenced and encouraged by his father Roger Odell who is the drummer in the jazz-funk band Shakatak. It was there that he was first exposed to electronic synthesizers and recording equipment at around age 10. He also has two children named Stan & Spike (Aged 14 & 11) He started Freerange records in 1996, a label that has since found a niche in deep house with artists like Shur-I-Kan and Milton Jackson.[3] Jimpster played in a live electronica band, The Bays, from 2002 until 2007, but eventually decided to focus on djing and his record label.[4]

In 2007 his label Freerange was voted Best British Label by Dj Mag, in 2010 he won the Beatport titles: Best Deep House Producer and Best Deep House Remix of the year.[1]

Compilations
gollark: Isn't AE2 a bit horribly expensive for ducts.
gollark: It seemed to work when I was using it with filters set on the servos.
gollark: Does Thermal Dynamics do it okay?
gollark: What's that doing? Just deliquifying emeralds?
gollark: I also like Factorio, because despite being magic-blocky there are complex supply chains and stuff, loads of ways to optimize, and it's actually designed to allow mass production.
