Jim Hopkins began his music career in 1978. This was when Disco was gaining popularity and 12" dance versions of tracks were available only to working nightclub DJs. At this time, Jim was hanging out at a local discotech and was introduced to the DJ who was spinning records at the club. The DJ invited Jim into the DJ booth and showed him the process of mixing two records together to make new versions. Jim was facinated by the process but didn't have two turntables and a mixer at home to accomplish the same effect. He did however have an extensive collection of Disco 45s and a tape deck with a quick pause button. Since he wasn't a working DJ and could'nt have access to the extended 12" singles mixes, he decided to make his own extended versions by editing the 45 versions on his cassette deck. He was able to re-edit the tracks to make his own custom mixes that he would play for his friends. His friends were impressed by what he could do with a quick finger on the cassette deck pause button and encouraged him to continue making his own versions of tracks that they would play at their disco parties.

As a DJ, Jim has been spinning records for 20 years and has played various styles of music including Underground Disco, Top 40 Dance, New Wave, Synth Pop, Modern Rock, Hi-NRG, Breakbeat and every style of House music. He has currently traveled to 48 cities throughout the United States to play his fusion of energetic dance music and spends most of his free time in the studio working on remixes for other labels as well as his own creations.
Jim has now entered the VJ world and is now creating trippy visuals for events & Bars VJing (Beat Matching music videos) as well as creating visual DVDs that are synced to his DJ mixes.
