SERAPH & STEEZ PROMO present:
DUB NATION PHILLY VOLUME 5!
featuring performances by:
JACK BEATS - Cheap Thrills | soundcloud.com/JACK-BEATS | facebook.com/JACKBEATSMUSIC - United Kingdom
A brainchild of Beni G (Mixologists) and Plus One (Scratch Perverts) Jack Beats are part of the new wave of British house wobbly basslines big breakdowns and sharp accapella's are cut copied and pasted together to create a floor-filling brand Rentals
Citing influences as diverse as Timbaland, Rage Against the Machine, A Guy Called Gerald and Sebastian this British duo requires our immediate attention after their gob-struck to Boy 8-Bit's anthem Fogbank dropped earlier this year What followed were bass-heavy collaborations with Deekline Wizards and bombastic refixes of Trip's guitar-driven Who is it? and The Black Ghosts classic I want nothing, and the unforgettable transformation of Epic Last Song by Does It offend you Yeah? in a simplifiedclassical swine pop-dance song
Nunyaste member of the Cheap Thrills ranks (home also Sinden Herve Detboi Machines Do not Care) and a fixed-favorite for lovers of all things glitchy and restless
JAKES - Hench Recordings | DStyle Records | facebook.com/JAKESHENCH | www.DSTYLE.co.uk - United Kingdom
Jakes is many things to many people, to some he is the voice of TC’s smash hits ‘Deep’, ‘Drink’ and ‘Mindkiller’, to others he is the Daddy of Bristolian Dubstep crew H.E.N.C.H and to musical historians he is one of the most interesting vocalists that underground British music can lay claim to. Never afraid to break from tradition and roll with his own flow, Jakes’ voice has become one of the most recognisable in the game and his energetic live performances see him travelling across the globe and smacking down raves from Bristol to Boston with his inimitable style.
Within a few years, Jakes has gone from being one of the big name MCs of the drum and bass world to now being one of the most talked about Producers in Dubstep. In a very short space of time, the progression towards his now trademark style has been applauded by many – and not limited to the Dubstep scene.
In 2009, the release of The Jakes Project, which included anthems such as Rock Tha Bells and Warface, demonstrated Jakes’ ability to straddle genres with his aptness for innovation and style remaining intact. With his own productions receiving widespread support from as wide-ranging DJs from Skream to Crookers to Mary Anne Hobbs to Gaslamp Killer, Jakes has gone on to produce remixes that have topped download charts and he regularly receives extensive radio coverage. With this in mind, it’s no wonder that his label has a host of talented artists releasing their productions through the HENCH imprint.
I'm the Fada a da H.E.N.C.H FAMILY!
