For electronic producers, DJs, and future label heads.
Be
impossible
to ignore.
Skip the BS. Twenty years of right rooms, right relationships, real understanding of the electronic music industry. Still there. Still moving.
Momentum
Your dream label is not the silver bullet. Momentum is.
Create it. Maintain it. Keep it going. Without it, the match fizzles, and you are left wondering what happened. Labels are great at pouring gasoline on a fire. They cannot light the match for you.
Connection
Human connection and creativity will always beat anything artificial.
AI is a great tool. Use it. What wins is what it cannot do for you.
It’s actually simple.
Network first. Community follows.
Then you build success.
This is the unsexy work that makes everything else possible.

“He helped me start my own label and pushed me to think long-term, not short-term. I couldn't recommend him more.”
“Jimi saw potential in me before I started Laminar. He believed in me more than I did myself. I wouldn't be where I am without him.”

About Jimi.
Twenty years inside electronic music. Every corner.
I have been where you are. Now I am on the other side of your email.
A&R and creative strategy at mau5trap. Behind the curtain of a legacy electronic music label, alongside veterans like Dean and Jessica Wilson. In the rooms you wish you were in, with access to the people pulling the levers.
Not only music. R&D and tech implementation at Davis Elen. Brands you have heard of, executives most people never get near. Different industry, same playbook.
Years building music platforms. None survived. But my inner circle and relationships got stronger. Failure has been my biggest teacher. I am not a poser. I have the scars to prove it.
The industry is at a pivotal moment. Game-changing tech. Real innovation. The bones do not change. Culture. Connection. Network. Creativity. Humanness.
I am not here to convince you. I should not need to. Go look at the work. I have done what you are trying to do. I help others do it now. And I am still doing it myself.
