Jake Sigal, aka DJ SGL, moved to Detroit, MI, in April 2006 to assume the position of product marketing manager for Delphi Consumer Electronics. Specifically, he designs XM plug-and-play devices for US and Canadian markets.
Formerly, Jake was a product development manager for industry-leading Numark, based in Cumberland, RI. He designed DJ and professional audio equipment and is listed as an inventor on the patents for products including the iDJ, the world's first iPod DJ mixing console; the iTTUSB, the world's first and only USB-enabled turntable for digitizing vinyl directly to CD or MP3; and various other industry-leading DJ and professional audio products.
Prior to joining Numark, Jake held a position as an industrial engineer in product development at Stanton Magnetics, another leading DJ equipment and phonograph cartridge manufacturer located in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
Jake began mixing music in college while earning his engineering degrees and decided to combine his passion for music with his technical prowess. Jake has performed at various clubs in Miami, Boston, and Las Vegas. Now in Detroit with a full-time career, he has residency on the first and last Saturdays of every month at Sakana, a smoke-free sushi lounge in Ferndale, MI.
While working on the iDJ for Numark, Jake had the opportunity to collaborate with Apple, Inc. in Cupertino, CA. At that time, Apple announced the podcast concept and Jake quickly jumped on board and launched his own weekly house music podcast. As one of the first podcasts on the market, the SGL House Podcast quickly gained worldwide recognition and was listed as the #1 iTunes house music podcast in the world.
Jake continues to podcast as a promotional tool and as a good way to keep in touch with friends and business associates abroad, and he continues to provide the latest and greatest to work out to, drive to, dance to, or just get up to speed on the hottest house music from around the world. Though other, larger artists have taken the reigns of the podcasting world, Jake still receives promotional copies of unreleased tracks to drop to his still-growing number of listeners.
