2009 has been a fantastic year for Glimpse, who was nominated for producer of the year in DJ magazine and player of the year in IDJ. The last few months have seen him release the 'Drifting E.P. on Carl Craig’s Planet E Label, E.P.s on Cadenza, Get Physical/Kindisch, Buzzin Fly and a release on his own Glimpse Recordings imprint with Kompakt. Throughout 2009, he has also been composing his debut studio album on Cross Town Rebels entitled, 'Runner' which is due out in Feb 2010, as well as touring relentlessly with his live show in Japan, Australia, North/South America and Europe. Glimpse's sound is hugely influenced by his early obsessions with blues and jazz music, represented by the soulful essence captured in his productions. His records have been regular fixtures in the boxes of Ricardo Villalobos, Carl Craig, Francois K, Laurent Garnier, Derrick May, Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, Luciano, Loco Dice, Sasha, Ben Watt, Mathew Dear, Steve Bug, John Digweed, Troy Pierce, Konrad Black and Adam Beyer amongst many others.
