CMU Approved
Approved: Jakwob
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 17 August 2010
It’s been some time since Jakwob last appeared in this slot, gaining approval over a year ago for the track that first brought him to public attention, a dubstep remix of Ellie Goulding’s ‘Starry Eyed’. Since then he’s become the guy you go to when you want a credible remix of your new single, reworking the likes of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Robyn, The Temper Trap, Empire Of The Sun, Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip and more.
Now, finally, Jakwob is set to release some of his own material, with his debut single, ‘Here With Me’ set to come out via his own Boom Ting label on 13 Sep. The track sees him mixing dubstep with more expansive electronic sounds; slow drums, wobbly bass, huge string samples and ethereal vocals. It’s emotive stuff, something you might not expect to hear of a dubstep track. Even the bassline and piano stabs set you nicely on edge as you listen, which you can do at Jakwob’s website now.
