Has it really been 3 years in the game already for 1Forty? Madness. To achieve as much as they have in such a short time is nothing short of incredible and just has to be commended. Staying faithful to their tried-and-tested release formula, and in that their label roots, 1Forty continue to push the boundaries on their latest celebratory release offering, picking out three absolute gems from their back catalogue and spinning them with a fresh VIP treatment. Selected from each of their separate genre entities: Grime, Bass and Funky & Garage, this birthday EP shines a light on new VIP's from label favourites Hayz, NLMT and this scorcher, a fresh variation in production on 'Worthwhile' from Murder He Wrote, with Logan's vocals still shining everstrong. From all of us here at OTW, we'd like to wish 1Forty a big happy birthday! Who knows what the future holds for the Leeds imprint? Sky's the limit as far as we're concerned.

Hailing directly from Bristol, Jakobin, a 27-year-old artist, 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.
