Jimmy Edgar

 

Detroit-born electronic act who began experimenting with electronic music at age 10 and was performing at raves by age 15. After releases as Michaux and Kristuit Salu vs Morris Nightingale, he signed to Warp (as Jimmy Edgar) in 2004.

A keen musician since he was a Detroit youth, inspired by jazz, funk, r&b and more, Edgar climbed to the forefront of this decade’s electronic music spectrum with experimental releases on Warp, Steve Bug’s Poker Flat, Citinite, Isophlux and more. His Warp releases in particular are massive inspirations on the glitchier side of modern electronic music, from Super_Collider to the Black Affair, whose *Pleasure Pressure Point* album was co-produced by Edgar. He’s also a member of the superb Plus Device.
