By now you’ve probably already heard the story of Jakwob‘s sharp rise to fame. His outrageously good remix to Ellie Goulding’s, ‘Under The Sheets’ gave him his first airtime on Radio 1 courtesy of Zane Lowe. As the hype continued to build the producer, born James Jacob had no intention of slowing down. His next colassal remix was strangely enough to another song by Ellie Goulding. This time, however, it was a re-work of ‘Starry Eyed’. If you’ve not already heard it yet, seriously, where have you been for over a year and what’s it like living under a rock?… I think it’s fair enough to say, the track was nothing short of incredible.
Fast forward through 2010 and the producer has not only cemented himself as one of the most higly-anticipated producer’s in the game, but also as one of the most talented. His debut single entitled, ‘Here With Me‘ is set to drop early next month on his own label, ‘Boom Ting Records‘. Although you may not realise it through the works of his remixes, the producer has always stated that he prefered his music to be minimal. The single reflects this aspect rather vividly with Jakwob leading his audience into a dauntingly eerie arena of tormented vocals stretched into an array of impressive instrumentation. If this track is the benchmark for his upcoming releases, i’m not complaining, we’re going to be in for a treat.
