There are two artists with the name 'Cinema 90'. 1. CINEMA 90 were David Shumate and Colin McDonell from Seattle, formed in the early 1980's.

Over the years "In Ultra-Violet" has became an underground club sensation in Europe, and has been re-released on the Genetic Music label of Germay in 2010. 2.

In 2001, under the moniker ‘dj me’, he released an ep of tech-house and breaks entitled ‘Shake Your Shit’. In 2003, after music equipment began to seriously dominate his apartment, Jamie set up a studio in central Auckland, under the fledgling community radio station Fleet FM. With the constant thoroughfare of artists, musicians and creative types, Jamie fast began incorporating live recording into the mix. With this change in pro
