Producer and DJ Jadell (aka Jamie Odell) hails from East London, where he made a name for himself by remixing tracks for such artists as Mixmaster Morris, Lamb, Coldcut, and Airto. Beginning in 1998, Jadell began issuing his own solo singles (including such titles as "Brand New Sound," "The Sure Shot," "Can You Hear Me?," and "Compared to What"), which blended together the dance-inducing sounds of soul, funk, electro, and hip-hop. In 2000, Jadell released his full-length solo debut on the Ultimate label, titled Gentleman of Leisure. ~ Greg Prato
