Techno Artist Of The Week – AOTW 01: Jamez (Loophole)

For our very first Techno Artist Of The Week, we chose Dutch electronic music producer Jamez/Loophole, real name Alex Dijksterhuis currently living in Utihoorn.

Jamez started his career in the early 90s and has many Alias’, including Tetraflux, MRE, 51 Days, Trancesetters, P.I.M.P., Amfibian, Mindfunk and the splendidly named Tata Box Inhibitors.

One of his main solo projects is Loophole. It’s next to his producer name Jamez, his most important project. With beautiful tracks and remixes, released on Touché Records and later on Kling Klong RecordsOmnisRepressure Recordings, and Rough Cut Records.

Loophole ́s first release was the EP Deephole on Touché Records in 1995, which was re-released in 2014 on Rough Cut Records. After Deephole came several EP’s, where Driven By Dreams in 1999 and Supa Thang in 2001 became underground club hits. After Dobre and Jamez decided to stop Touché Records, it became quite around Loophole, but in 2011, he returned with a new EP The Fortress on Repressure Recordings.

Under his main alias Jamez, he is no slouch either, having turned in excellent mixes of Paperclip People’s ‘The Climax’, X-Press 2’s strident ‘The Sound’ and a stunning rerub of Der Dritte Raum’s ‘Alienoid’, transforming it into a hypnotically textural house cut. Alex has collaborated & remixed everyone from Sterac aka Steve Rachmad, Felix Da Housecat, Humate, Len Faki, Capricorn, Jamie Stevens, Victor Calderone, Astronivo, Cevin Fisher…

 Here is a sample of some of Jamez other releases/remixes:





His latest release Jamez & Guflux’s Mutate has taken a more electronic approach with remixes by PSI [Programming Sound Industry] who made a dark ambient project and therefore a bit strange to be on a techno label, but hey….why not. PSI delivers, what he does best….dark cinematic ambient spheres. Moon Madness turns the track into a strange downtempo track, while Socket Hog takes a different approach cutting up the to electronic music.
Enjoy the strangeness of The Mutilation Remixes…Rough Cut Records is a sublabel of Touche Records
