`General' Jimmy Coultas is readily instilling himself deeper into the dance music scene. Something of a festival specialist, he's clocked up appearances for the Strongbow Rooms at V and Creamfields, opened Rockness' main stage and done turns at Latitude, Isle of Wight and Standon Calling, even hot-footing abroad to Croatia for the Garden festival.

His day job flirts between club promotion, dance journalism and Music PR, balancing a wide-ranging set of musical involvement. Writing for DJmag, iDJ and Data Tranmission, he's also built up a repertoire crafting DJ profiles, counting Yousef , Fergie and Sonny Wharton among his clients. Throw in a PR element that has seen work for Goodgreef, Uber and Freeze's historic Cathedral showcase and you're talking about a man firmly entrenched within the music.

It's his DJ sets which have garnered acclaim. Stylistically he sifts through vintage disco, groove heavy house and nascent techno in his club sets, varying the tempo and the mood with delicate ease. It's seen him clock up appearances alongside DJs as wide ranging as Norman Jay, Lee Burridge, Audiofly, Paul Woolford, Hot Chip, Prins Thomas, Danny Rampling and Chris Duckenfield.

He's equally adept dropping wide ranging eclectic sets that span rare funk, classic hip-hop and Balearic beauties, having warmed up for Bez from the Happy Mondays, Radio One's Zane Lowe, Furious Five rapper Melle Mel and starring at the afterparty for Mark Ronson Sunday Best show in 2008. This diversity is built on his weekly residency at Liverpool's Bumper, where he's responsible for creating a soundtrack that sees Diplo snarling at the Rolling Stones and Biggie Smalls sitting side by side with the Cure.

A DJ with nine years experience playing a long list of venues with wildly varying music policies, the General is nothing if not versatile. It's this ingenuity and flexibility that make him an ever increasing star, and a DJ that continues to rise in profile and stature across the Nation.
