Jimmy started DJing in the early ‘90s and in 1995 he created a club called Mofo @ The Borderline just off Charing Cross Road, London. It was a weekly Tuesday night event that attracted a mixed bag of skaters and breakers dancing to Big Beat, hip-hop, jungle and skate punk. As the club evolved, Mofo moved more towards dance music and eventually became one of the first breakbeat clubs to emerge out of the UK. But as student loans turned to student grants and superclubs like Fabric & Home dominated the London clubbing scene, mid week parties became harder to fill and so Jimmy’s Mofo night ceased.
Then Jimmy (who hates a conventional lifestyle) wanted to get involved somewhere else in the scene and so he sought out a new project, launching Mofo Magazine in January 2000. Mofo became the seminal breakbeat magazine and the portal for clubbers and DJs wishing to discover breaks. The magazine had an underground, independent vibe and featured amazing artwork on the cover with a mixed CD.
