The Foot and Timbre Room present H.E.N.C.H Records Head Jakes hailing from the UK.
Jakes has many strings to his bow. From being front man to many live acts e.g T.C, Pendulum and Ez Rollerz to being the head of his own genre straddling label Hench Recordings, he has made a lasting mark on the world wide underground bass scene. Within a few years Jakes has since evolved and furthered his musical reputation from being one of the big name MC’s of drum and bass world to now being one of the pioneer’s of dubstep. In a very short space of time, the progression towards his now trademark style has been applauded by many - and not limited to his chosen passion. With a globally renowned stature for genre straddling music and inimitable style and having garnered support from legends such as Joker, Skream, Gaslamp Killer, Mary Anne Hobbs, Zeds Dead and Paul Walford to name but a few, the U.K vocalist turned dubstep pacemaker boasts an extensive repertoire that has only expanded and metamorphosed with time.
On local support, we have XAKRA, the upstart Seattle dubstep DJ and Production Duo (Amadeo Sanchez & Alex Diego) that has been making waves and getting support from artists like The Widdler for their tune Backstabber. https://soundcloud.com/itsxakra
Also supporting the evening is Kloak, (Eric Ulvog, formerly EMU of the SMOG dubstep crew out of Los Angeles). Now producing and DJing multiple styles of music, he is still grounded in his deep dubstep roots, and has been pushing bass music culture up and down the West Coast and beyond for 17 years. He has recently started a digital label and production entity The Foot. https://getkloaked.bandcamp.com https://soundcloud.com/kloakmusic
