>> Backstory:
Jacknowledge's journey into the world of music began at the age of 14 when he first delved into the art of DJing. His eclectic taste spanned various genres, from House to Hip Hop, as he crafted mixtapes to share with friends. However, it wasn't until his mid-20s, when he experienced his first taste of Techno at Club Vaag in Antwerp, that his passion for music was reignited. Enthralled by the track "Little Sun" by Dense & Pika, he fell in love with the genre's boundless potential for experimentation.

This pivotal moment sparked his foray into music production. A self-taught enthusiast, Jacknowledge made his debut in 2020 with "The Test," a collaboration with Essor released under TAUB Recordings, followed by his self-release "MTDA" with Jackstasy. In 2021, he joined forces with his Berlin-based counterpart, Chemical Dumpster, to produce the hard acid Techno EP "The War Within," released under Papotako Records, along with remixes for BASSCONTROLISM.

His momentum continued into 2023 with the release of a well-received cover of "I Don't Wanna Know" by Mario Winans, garnering over 27K streams on SoundCloud. Throughout the year, he delivered notable remixes and original tracks, including collaborations with rapper Young Delicious.

In 2024, Jacknowledge ventured into Drum & Bass with his first full track "The Busdriva" featuring vocals by Young Delicious, while also preparing for the release of covers such as "Sharam - Party All The Time" and "Critical Mass - Burnin' Love."

Beyond his creative endeavors, Jacknowledge is co-founder of the Record Label and Event Planner "Tijdverdrijf", organizing House & Techno parties in his local area and releasing House, Techno and Trance music.

Highlighted achievements include winning the Vestrock DJ Rally in 2022 and performing live at the Vestrock 2022 Festival (Hulst / NL), as well as headlining events such as Spoorloos in DUST! club (Breskens / NL) and MØØN Invites in El Toro (Goes / NL). Jacknowledge also played at UUTWAAIEN, a small self-hosted rave at a secret location in Zeeland, with UUTWAAIEN 2.0 coming up later this year. He will also be playing at Summervibes Festival (Clinge / NL) and Spätkauf. Berlin Techno Night (Terneuzen / NL). Jacknowledge's dedication to pushing musical boundaries and fostering community within the electronic music scene continues to drive his passion and influence.
