Jacob Todd first got involved with music at the age of 13, playing bass in hardcore punk bands. Following college, Jacob moved to Boulder, Colorado for graduate school in late 1999. It was in Boulder where he was first exposed to progressive trance and house music through frequent visits to the now defunct club Soma.
Jacob started DJing in 2000 and producing in 2002. Jacob’s first record, entitled “Nothing Is Real,” was released in 2004 by Jonathan Lisle’s M-Theory Records. Dubbed “the Photek of progressive breaks” by Meat Katie for its “solid rhythm, clever programming, and rocking beats,” Nothing is Real was featured on both Anthony Pappa’s Balance CD and John Digweed’s Kiss 100 radio show. His follow-up record “The Metaphysics of Paper” was released on 3 Beat Breaks later that year and was again featured by John Digweed on his Kiss 100 radio show.
Two-thousand five sees the release of several more records from Jacob including collaborations with Habersham, “Nevermore,” Kelly Noland, “Somehow” and Jordan Nafie, “Malta,” along with solo productions for Babylon Recordings, “Twenty Twenty,” Sentient Audio Collective, “Lunedi,” and Parabolic Records, “Book of Ghosts.” In addition, Nick Warren chose the Aural Imbalance remix of Somehow to be included on his Shanghai compilation for Global Underground.
Jacob has completed remix projects for artists such as Relisys, Andrew K and Simuck, Brahma, Lynx, Native, and Jase from Outta Space. Jacob is currently working on a full-length artist album for CP Recordings that will be a DJ-style mix of all original music written from the ground up. |
