From: Wales

DJ style: House

Best known for: “Paradise and Hot Creations.”

The bio on his Instagram simply reads “sent to earth to make you dance, smile and raise your vibrations”; Jamie Jones is doing a great job at fulfilling his mission statement. This year has been full of good times, and another successful season of his party Paradise at Amnesia in Ibiza. The theme was Temples Of The Sun — pledging to take its ravers to an alternative reality — with a DJ line-up that included Seth Troxler, Joseph Capriati, Cinthie, The Martinez Brothers, and TSHA. Although the season has come to an end now, it doesn’t stop there; in November, Paradise will return to London to take over the 15k-capacity superclub Drumsheds.

His tour schedule hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down either, in August playing an impressive 22 shows in 24 days. Meanwhile, his label Hot Creations is brimming with club-ready music, this year releasing EPs from Nic Fanciulli, Mason Maynard, Hot Since 82, M-High and more. Jones released some tracks of his own this year, including ‘We Groovin’ featuring the soulful vocals of Jazzy, and most recently ‘La Musa’ featuring Miluhska. We have a feeling there’ll be more to come.
