Jakkob (UK) That Guy From Tik Tok | Pointers

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 debut solo track ‘Rhythm Section’.

Demand for Jakkob is increasingly rife; that’s no secret. What with a release on Ministry Of Sound already lined up post ‘Rhythm Section’ - a remix of Herd & Fitz’s ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’, which has already landed over one million Soundcloud streams sans promotion - and DJ bookings across Ibiza, Australia and New Zealand, plus festival bookings including Hideout and Secret Garden Party, he is here to truly cement his place as a respected name in contemporary club culture.
