Jerome Sydenham is one of the
hottest tickets in the world of house and techno music right now. His DJ sets
are nothing short of phenomenal – veering from deep, intricate, chugging
techno, to jackin' tech house, into huge anthemic house moments in the classic
vein. Always pursuing his love for techno – both industrial-edged thumpers and
deep, soulful
Detroit
moments, with some melodic beauties along the way.
Jerome Sydenham’s illustrious
music career took off in the late eighties when he joined the prestigious
A&R division at Atlantic Records where he worked with the likes En Vogue, Das Efx, and breaking the vocal house group Ten City. Soon after he met emerging producer Kerri Chandler – one of his closest friends and a former collaborator,
his name as a producer and DJ gradually built over the ‘90s, with his superb
label Ibadan Records launched in
1995.
He is best known for beautiful,
emotive, sunkissed deep house tracks like "Swimming Places", and his
timeless collaboration with Dennis
Ferrer, "Sandcastles", both on leading house imprint Defected.
However he also shares Ferrer’s love for hypnotic, soulful, sexy techno –
bringing undeniable warmth to an often emotionally cold genre of music. His
collaborations with Get Physical’s Swedish talent Tiger Stripes - like the
hugely acclaimed "Elevation" and their joyous remix of Faze Action’s classic "In The
Trees" - should likewise be added to the cannon of great house music
history.
Sydenham’s desire to push the
creative envelope took him into the world of Techno with the hit “Asama”, with
which he launched the German based label Apotek
Records. The year 2007 also saw the initiation of a new label
collaboration, Avocado Records, established in
Denmark with heavy weight producer Rune RK with the monster
"Elephant".
In 2009 remixes by Sydenham
include: "Angel" by Carl Craig
(Planet-e), "Forming Dies" by Adam
Beyer & Joel Mull (Drumcode), "Way of the Lonely Ones Pt2" by
Nihad Tule (Spectrum), and
"Materia" by Nic Fanciulli
(Global Underground).
