Born in Bristol, Jake has come up through the acid house parties and underground scene of the 80s and 90s. He has played out professionally since 1995 at such places around Bristol as Ripsnorter (resident), Lakota, Club 19 (resident), The Black Swan, The Depot and The Trinity, plus in 2005 he performed several times at Glastonbury Festival.
Jake is the powerhouse behind Chillout Culture, putting on club and festival Chillout rooms, original live visuals and filming, chai cafes and DJs. He is well known for his chillout sets ranging from deep psychedelic lounge and world dub, to more jazzy, funky upbeat sessions, while not being occasionally averse to breaking out into full on funked-up house n' breaks or tribal psy-trance sets.
In 2005, collaborations with Dark FM Internet Radio included running his own radio show, and setting up a live club broadcast direct from Ripsnorter at The Trinity, Bristol, with Nuw Idol (WellWicked Records) performing a live trance set.
Jake is now living in beautiful Pembrokeshire, Wales, where he has set up a DJ recording studio and audio-visual company. He also puts on DJ workshops and is starting to collaborate on writing live psychedelic breakbeat.
Mix CD releases include State Your Destination, Psy-Namite, No Turning Back, World Domination, and Vision.
