Sensate Focus is a project by Sheffield-based artist and music producer Nigel Jacob, responding to the musical structures, techniques, vocabularies and sounds present in a collection of house musics produced in North America around 1992-1994.
Through a series of records (released in conjunction with Editions Mego) and “live” presentations, Sensate Focus addresses the division of music into repeatable patterns of observable and fixed duration; the placement of percussive events at specific points within patterns to demarcate distinct levels of temporal division; the organisation and repetition of patterns to form larger “arrangements”; and, strategies by which layers of instrumentation are introduced and removed.
For Jacob this exercise necessarily implies a response to the technological structures, techniques and vocabularies present in equipment within which they are constituted, and their functionality within specific social contexts.

House music through and through, other than house i will only ever find myself playing with myself.

I am currently a bedroom DJ with a vision of one day moving into the kitchen and from here who knows where.

THE STORY
Following years of exploration thru different sound palettes and the honing of my craft under another alias, it was time to make a creative Manuvr.

Hitting the reset button on DJing, touring, production, health and mindset, this refreshing Manuvr cascaded across every element of my East London lifestyle.

THE MUSIC
As a multi-instrumentalist, I’ve journeyed thru rhythmic and melodic textures to find my artistic sound. Ready to unleash in 2025, the outcome is a signature vibe that resonates within the soundscapes of Gorgon City, Disclosure, Sam Divine, and Fred Again.

THE PASSION
Driven by passion and steered by emotion, I’ve enjoyed joining the creative elements of my life together - by producing a huge array of new music that’s designed to create emotion on the dancefloor.

THE MISSION
I’m on a huge mission to improve our world thru music, one chord at a time.

THE TRIBE
The evolution of the music will also be shaped by engagement and collaboration with you. More info coming soon.

Big love.
