JIM aka Jim Baron - founding member of housey disco giants Crazy P. aka Ron Basejam - purveyor of quality underground house music. JIM is Jim’s previously unknown acoustic, folk-inspired, singer-songwriter side.

Lockdown allowed Jim the time to hone his songwriting skills. Everyone who has heard the music seems to drop a different reference; from Crosby Stills & Nash, Ned Doheny & Gerry Rafferty - even early Beta Band and Zero 7 have come up.

Love Makes Magic, JIM's debut LP was released in June 2023 and the album has connected with an ever growing number of fans; lured in by great songs, Laurel Canyon singer-songwriter acoustics, 60’s psychedelic folk-rock, a dash of Balearic, discoid funk and a healthy dose of yacht-rock.

The album was voted Album of the Year in the Bill Brewster Furtive 50 chart for 2023 - like a Balearic BAFTAs - and Still River Flow (Generalisation Dub) came 2nd in the tracks of the year.

Disco Pogo, Piccadilly Records and Mr Bongo all gave the LP honourable mention in their end of year charts too.

As you’d expect with an artist who has 25 years of dance music connections the accompanying remixes weren’t bad either... Crooked Man, Ruf Dug, Flying Mojito Brothers and Generalisation all came up with fine reinterpretations. Luke Unabomber hailed the Crooked Goth version of Phoenix as his track of the year.

As the remixes racked up we considered collecting them together for a remix LP. The five aforementioned mixes will be joined by five brand new ones from X-Press 2, Mang Dynasty, Chris Coco, Begin (Jame Holroyd) and Brown Fang. Spanning pumping club bangers, perfect sunsets soundtracks and left-field electronica.

Love Makes Magic - The Remixes will be released digitally and on a double vinyl on the 8th of March, 2024.
