Hailing directly from Bristol, Jakobin, has garnered significant attention in the underground music scene with his diverse sets encompassing UK Funky and Bass genres. Originally from Madagascar, Jakobin's musical selections and original compositions remain deeply rooted in his cultural heritage, drawing inspiration from the rhythmic percussion and tribal music of his homeland. Despite maintaining a consistent vibe, Jakobin refuses to confine himself to a single style, incorporating a broad range of underground music spanning from 120 to 140 bpm, encompassing genres such as UK Funky, Garage, Amapiano, House, Grime, and more.

His dynamic and energetic performances have secured him opportunities to support renowned figures in the UK Bass music scene, including Footsie, Stragety, Sicaria, JME, RizLaTeef, SirSpyro, Killa P, Skepsis, Royal T, and Sammy Virji, among others. Moreover, Jakobin's guest mixes have been featured on esteemed platforms such as Mixmag, BBC Introducing, BBC Radio Bristol, SubtleFM, Steamradio, SWU.FM, AAJAMusic, FourthFloor, DECADANCE, 1020 Radio, the illustrious Rinse FM, as well as internationally on France's Pinata Radio and Australia-based FBI Radio and Nomad Radio.

In addition to his prowess as a DJ, Jakobin's production skills have quietly but surely propelled him into the spotlight as a rising star in the UK Bass scene. Noteworthy releases on Ec2A, Four40 and WILEOUT, track features on Kiss FM and BBC Introducing, as well as his widely popular bootlegs on SoundCloud, attest to Jakobin's enduring presence. Continuously evolving, Jakobin's African-infused riddims will undoubtedly be enjoyed by audiences far and wide, whether at events in Bristol or at remote stay-at-home raves spanning the globe.

Headlining a burgeoning wave of Naarm/Melbourne talent, nickname subscribes to a system-shredding style that is entirely his own. 

Drawing from various influences, his maverick creations “bridge the gap” between destructive jungle, broken bass, and modern techno, evading any attempt to typecast. A master of manipulation, nickname’s resampled sonics dance beside penetrating percussive patterns, showcasing a palpable command of breaks. With his easy-going persona shining through his music, he delivers free-flowing and fractured pulses with a lighthearted grin.

Having found homes on Phasmid’s ‘Taipan Trax’, DJ Loui's Jupiter4, STÜM’s ‘Happy Wax’ and Mincy’s ‘Extra Spicy’, nickname’s riotous releases have rampaged floors at the hands of VTSS, Kessler, and DJ Spit, among countless others. Poised to peel the paint from club walls, his sounds have prompted airtime at Dekmantel and HÖR, with Rinse FM taking note, featuring the playful pro in their exclusive Spotify playlist. Leaving punters mesmerized, his bouncing blonde strands have topped bills across Naarm/Melbourne and Eora/Sydney, with highlights the energetic Extra Spicy x Stony Roads Day Party and vivacious T-Break at 24 Moons. 

Forever gazing forward, nickname’s music lines his rhythmic trajectory. Made for centre stage.
