As part of our size? sessions mix series – week in, week out – we’ve been joined by some of the biggest DJs from around the globe. The response from our followers has been immense, and now it’s nearly time for number 21 in our size? sessions Mix series. 

This time around, Do Not Sleep & Cuckoo Land Ibiza resident DJ Jamie Roy is set to join us live from his Manchester studio. It’s set to be a big one, but before we get into that, we’ve caught up with the man behind the mix to learn a little more about him. Dig in below.

“I’m from a small town in Scotland called Dumfries, I’m a DJ producer raver and I’m a size 11UK.”

How did you get started in the music industry? 

“I started off running night in my home town of Dumfries, I eventually left my job as a plumber to spend a summer in Ibiza, I managed to get a job selling tickets for We Love at the legendary space it snowballed there really playing out regularly on the west end to getting offers a residency with Steve Lawler at Viva Warriors in 2015 then on to Residencies with Do Not sleep and Dance of Die at Ushuaïa.” 

How would you describe your music style? 

“A bit of everything but it all comes back to house music in some shape or form.”

What has been your record of the year so far and what are you looking forward to hearing for the rest of the year?

“Ah, that’s so hard to answer, but right now my favourite track this year is Oden & Fatzo – 69 party boys the fans remix can’t stop listening.”

Has there been a particular event/party that has stood out for your career?

“Without a doubt ‘Viva Warriors’ and ‘Do Not Sleep’ were how I established myself.”
