Jamjar

Co-founded by Adam Roberts and Otto de Vries, Jamjar is a project that focuses on presenting elements of electronic music not often heard in main stream clubs and venues. The music however remains accessible and a night with Jamjar is night of Lounge, Deep and Soulful House seamlessly blended for aural pleasure. Sometimes soulful, sometime dirty, always deep.

Otto mixes with records and CD’s. On occasion he uses FinalScratch. As the warm-up wizard of this duo, Otto’s House sets moves seamlessly from mid-tempo beats to more up-tempo Deep and Soulful and Deep Tech House.
