I've read the hype about jamie and think it's pretty much bullshit.
I played a ovum/sony record release party a few weeks ago and they had
posters up that had a quote from details saying something to the effect
that finally there was a US junglist worth talking about.
They kicked down a bunch of promos, some of which had a few of his
tracks.
These were promptly taken down to a local record store for some credit.
His music is pretty boring, IMHO.
Here's a quote from the crammed site:

The 12" they were talking about was 'Decisions EP'.
Nothing special...except for being 'radio' friendly.
