S: Introduce yourself. From where are you based?

J: What’s up! My name’s James Jacob AKA Jakwob, I’m currently based in
Leicester at the moment but constantly between my home town Lincoln and
around London.

S: What have you been up to? Any projects or remixes in the works?

J: At the moment I’m working on remixes for OH SNAP!!, Crookers, Last Japan,
Little Boots and just finished a remix for Frankmusik. I’m also in the process of
doing a remix for a spazz metal band called Rolo Tomassi, who are a sick
bunch of peeps from Sheff. Working on a load of more of my own material as
well, hopefully featuring some MC people should know which should be out
asap!

Jaymo first slayed me with his “12 Minute Minimix” in the fall.  With his signature crispy synths coming straight out the UK, Jaymo is currently toward the top of my “Recently Played.”  The drop on his Esser remix is not as in your face as some of his others, but it moves regardless.  The track is not terribly new, but it’s worth adding to your collection if you don’t have it already.
