BIOGRAPHY: Vimesh Vimo Bhana

Originally hailing from the Friendly City of Port Elizabeth South Africa, it’s been virtually two decades of immense success as prolific and respected DJ Vimo (best known for his eclectic sets) continues to blow up dance floors all across the country.

Whilst travelling abroad as early as 1995, Vimo developed his encyclopaedic knowledge of electronic music by befriending the store owner of ‘Vinyl Junkies’ local record store in Soho London. Too impatient to learn through trial-and-error and observation, he was taken under the wing of the established veteran DJ John Paul. In under a year, Vimo got his first break and began playing at a number of trendy bars and lounges in and around London.

His return to South Africa in 1998 manifested into a two year stint playing in commercial venues which laid the basis to triumph over Port Elizabeth’s renowned and lucrative underground scene. In his hometown he continued to invade Castro’s, The Lennox, XXXtreme and 52 Parliament to mention a few. Heavily influenced by international sensation Armin Van Helden and local PE demigod Munro, Vimo has cultivated and skilled rhythms all distilled down to a pure distinctive sound that never fails to rip dance floors apart.

He was the first ever DJ from PE who, in association with USM Records and The Deeper Sound Series released “Deeper Sound of Vimo.” His second release “Vimo Presents East Coast Flavour” was a successful solo project whereby he collaborated with the likes of top local DJ’s Craig de Sousa and Roger De Lux and was also praised by the masses resulting in his third album from the Natural Groove Series “Natural Groove III by Vimo” again proving to be in the frontline of the music scene with his cutting edge and self proclaimed “Chutney House” sound.

Vimo has held residencies in the most popular and commendable nightclubs and headlined the biggest parties in Port Elizabeth. Not content, he progressed to invade dance floors around South Africa such as SPLASH, H20, NATURAL GROOVE, SWEET SESSIONS, NEXUS, ESP, TILT, TRUTH, SUTRA, THE FEZ, DOCKSIDE, POP ART, TOKYO SKY, JET, SUSHI SUNDAY, VINTAGE VINYL, OOLONG LOUNGE, CARFAX, THE WOODS, SUGAR, BANG BANG CLUB, JUICE, VOODOO LOUNGE, GROOVEBAR, STONES, NEWSCAFE, PANAMA ROOM and ARUBA LOUNGE.

He has performed in support of international DJ’s such as Carl Cox, Tiesto, Tom Novy, Sister Bliss as well as top local DJ’s.

Vimo is also the co founder of the brand “Brotherhood” whereby he collaborates with his equally talented brother DJ Jay-B behind the decks. This coherent concept is based on having 4 decks and two mixers fusing Jay-B’s adoration for deep house and Vimo’s passion for dirty insubordinate beats.

He has also received admirable praise after being featured on DJ Fresh’s popular ‘’Ultimix at 6’’ for the third time, as well as on Roger Goodes “Saturday Surgery” also on 5fm and not forgetting Erica Elle’s “Studio 55.”

Currently, since relocating to Johannesburg in 2009, Vimo has continued to grow as one of South Africa’s most celebrated DJ’s and continues to maintain his prevalent and pervasive presence across the dance floors.

With over a decade in the record playing business, DJ Vimo’s pounding house beat punch of groovy funk & kick ass bassline roughed up dancefloors & truly demonstrated this pro vinylist’s inarguable staying power during 2006.
