Darkroom Dubs are proud to welcome French electronic producer & Dj,
Damien Almira aka Timid Boy.
He is co-owner of the Time Has Changed imprint, along with fellow producer,
Acumen. Although still in relative infancy, the label is fast becoming one of
the hottest French house labels.
It was the fantastic groove-laden, "Hold On" on Time Has Changed sister label,
Time Is Now that alerted Silicone Soul to his mercurial talent and they invited
him to release on their Darkroom Dubs label. The title track, "Bop Bap" was one
of the highlights of their recent, Darkroom Dubs Vol. 2 Mix CD, which gained
widespread critical acclaim.
Damien first rose to prominence in 2003, with his Dj residency at the famous Rex
Club in Paris for the BPitch Control parties. Spinning along side the likes of
Jeff Mills, Ellen Allien, Booka Shade, Tiga, The Hacker, Sascha Funke, Roman
Flⁿgel, DJ Hell, Supermayer, Francois K & Paul Kalkbrenner, his reputation grew
quickly in the Parisian underground scene with his passionate and zestful
elucidation of the deep, hypnotic house & techno sound.
Damien is also a very well known French music journalist, specialising in
electronic music. In the past ten years, working for well-known French
publications Rock & Folk, Technikart and Trax (France's premier electronic
magazine). This enabled a deeper understanding and appreciation of electronic
music and its rich heritage, which illuminates his productions.
In March 2009 he released his debut, "Split EP" on Time Has Changed and also,
"Where Is The Bang Bang EP" on 4line Records that garnered universal support
with, "Hermann Is Speaking" featuring in Trax Magazines CD covermount.
The follow up, "La Nuit" represented an important step for Damien as Richie
Hawtin heavily supported the track. His following releases on labels, Percusa
and Monique Musique were then supported by Luciano, Laurent Garnier, Loco Dice,
Dubfire & Sebo K, and lauded also by the nu-house crew - dOP, Nick Curly, Julien
Chaptal & Masomenos. His hypnotic, dance floor style also seduced the Spanish/
Italian house gang Circo Loco, (DC 10 Ibiza) whose residents Tania Vulcano &
Andrew Grant signed tracks to their Isgud & Barraca labels.
His productions have captured the imagination of the worlds dance press and
radio, with rave reviews in Trax, Tsugi, DJ Magazine, Ibiza Voice & Faith
Fanzine and radio support on Buzzin Fly, Ibiza Global, RTE Pulse (Dublin), CHRY
105.5FM (Toronto), Ministry Of Sound Radio & Ibiza Sonica.
His most recent releases on Time Has Changed, "Chicago Story" (The Oxia Remix
was #1 on JunoÆs Download Chart) and "On A Cloud With Richard" have only served
to further enhance his reputation. So with more hot tracks on the horizon, (for
labels including Tuning Spork & Bitten and mixing the first Time Has Changed CD
compilation) just like Time Has Changed, the beautiful adventure of Timid Boy
continues...
