Jerome Sydenham

Real Name:Jerome Sydenham
Profile:Premier modern music visionary. Launched his career as A&R for Atlantic Records and went on to found the legendary label Ibadan Records.
Few traveling producers/DJs measure up to the legacy of Ibadan Records' Jerome Sydenham. With a career launched from an A&R position with Atlantic Records during the peak of the 90s New York house era he is today regarded one of electronic music's premier modern visionaries. Now residing in Berlin, he’s still at the cutting edge of dance music; pioneering it through its various mutations over the years. Hits like the international award winning house tracks 'Sandcastles' and 'Timbuktu' - both co-produced with Dennis Ferrer - and the monstrous techno slammer 'Elephant' co-produced with Rune on their label Avocado Records (2) has cemented him as a master craftsman of the global dance music spectrum (from acoustic afro-tinged house, tech-house to the darkest and deepest techno). Kerri Chandler stated about his skills that “Jerome has an impeccable sense of arrangement – he’s up there with Quincy Jones on that!” Besides producing Jerome Sydenham is often touring with regular appearances at Berlin's famed Berghain and Panorama Bar and has still found time to work on a new Nagano Kitchen album focusing on his growing passion for techno and his fist solo album, Animal Social Club, a deep house album which will be dropping this fall on Ibadan Records (the label named after his childhood hometown in Nigeria).
