Having only just turned 20, James Jacob AKA 'Jakwob' has seen his nascent career take off in the last few months. First coming to acclaim via some major appreciation in the blog world for his remix of Ellie Goulding's 'Starry Eyed' he's since gone on to remix the likes of Empire Of The Sun, Temper Trap, Penguin prison and Jamie T to name a few.
Hailing from the Midlands Jakwob has been involved in music from the age of 10 and is a multi-instrumentalist having been involved in many groups starting in jazz moving on to play death metal and folk (!) This goes a long way to explaining his style which transcends genres combining elements of dubstep, trance, ghetto-tech and breakbeat (to name a few)...
This eclecticism also manifests itself in Jakwob's DJ sets which take in dub, hip hop hop, drum and bass, dubstep and anything else that he fancies making fit into his set.
Currently working on a debut release, watch this space...
"Dubstep isn't something we've ever been overly fond of 'round Neon Gold headquarters, but between Skream's "In For The Kill" mix, Nero's immense take on "Blinded By The Lights" and this absolutely massive rework of "Starry Eyed" by Midlands up-and-comer Jakwob, 2009 is slowly changing our outlook on the subgenre. The Ellie Goulding original was already one of our absolute tunes of the year and Jakwob takes the blueprint put in place by Starsmith and blows it up to epic proportions, dropping the year's fiercest bassline on the chorus and destroying everything in his path with what is truly one of the best and most unexpected remixes of the past year." NEON GOLD MAY 2009
"Jakwob has brought this track down to its knees, its roots, its foundation, and has moderately reworked it, in a way that reveils to us the shere magnitude, importance and rhamfications that is, dubstep. To acknowledge Jakwob as a dubstep revolutionary and a pioneer in the subgenre, would be an understatement, as well as an oversimplification of the precise truth of this artist. The renaissance of dubstep has begun, and Jakwob has pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting in this eventful resurgance." Umoo - On Starry Eyed Remix June 09
