This highly successful tour has been instrumental in putting progressive dance music in the minds and ears of many people across America.

With the success of Northern Exposure, Cream (Liverpool) contacted Jimmy to put together a Cream USA tour. This tour spanned across Ameirca and Canada again using such DJ talent as Carl Cox, Dave Seaman, Doc Martin and Nick Warren. This tour has solidified Jimmy and Balance as the Promotions Company in the USA.
