Timi Ram Jam
Timi Ram Jam (also known as Timi Anibaba) was born in 1966. He attended Peckham Manor High School and then South Bank Polytechnic.
Timi is married with three children.
Timi was a founder of the UK garage music scene.
It was in iconic The Elephant & Castle pub in south London where the musical genre began. In the early 1990s, the pub was the home of Happy Days - the legendary indoor rave after party with the resident DJ Matt Jam Lamont.
Happy Days was created to cater for the crowds of clubbers leaving nearby club Ministry of Sound every Sunday morning.
Clubbers would cross the road from the superclub and queue for Happy Days to open at 10am to listen to Lamont’s speeded up versions of UK house tracks - which eventually morphed into UK garage.
Lamont said “When I played ‘Feel My Love’ at the Elephant & Castle, that was it, the track shook the windows. The owner of the pub ran up to me and was suddenly telling me to turn the bass down. That was the first-ever British garage record”.
Ministry of Sound closed at 9am, with Happy Days running from 10am - 2pm.
Happy Days went from strength to strength. In the space of just 18 months the party moved from The Elephant & Castle to the larger Frog & Nightgown and then to The Arches: a cavernous, 1,000 capacity warehouse space.
In 1995 Happy days bought Club Aquarium in Old Street and they started Absolute Sunday.
