JAKKOB

Playing back to back with Seth Troxler down the local pub is something you might assume as fitting for a profile such as Jakkob’s, whose social media followings total well over one million. That recent endeavour, however, and those numbers, are merely a glimpse into the flourishing self-built career of the DJ and producer. It’s tricky to find someone who has embraced club culture more holistically than Jakkob, who has held down the fort as a promoter, working at a record label, and DJing to peers for over 10 years. And, following his notoriety for high energy, groove-infused DJ sets across the UK - particularly with his Kitchen Club series - the welshman is now evolving his concept into a label, implementing his sound engineering and music production degree to share a plethora of releases on his own imprint. Demand for Jakkob is increasingly rife; that’s no secret. Following a consistent release schedule and the likes of Chloe Caillet, Rossi, Enzo Siragusa, Peggy Gou, Chris Stussy, Josh Baker, Cloonee & Dan Shake supporting his tunes. DJ bookings across the UK and Europe plus festival bookings including Hideout, he is here to truly cement his place as a respected name in contemporary club culture.
