*************************
Jakes is many things to many people, to some he is the voice of TC’s smash hits ‘Deep’, ‘Drink’ and ‘Mindkiller’, to others he is the Daddy of Bristolian Dubstep crew H.E.N.C.H and to musical historians he is one of the most interesting vocalists that underground British music can lay claim to. Never afraid to break from tradition and roll with his own flow, Jakes’ voice has become one of the most recognisable in the game and his energetic live performances see him travelling across the globe and smacking down raves from Bristol to Boston with his inimitable style.
Within a few years, Jakes has gone from being one of the big name MCs of the drum and bass world to now being one of the most talked about Producers in Dubstep. In a very short space of time, the progression towards his now trademark style has been applauded by many – and not limited to the Dubstep scene.
In 2009, the release of The Jakes Project, which included anthems such as 'Rock Tha Bells' and 'Warfac'e, demonstrated Jakes’ ability to straddle genres with his aptness for innovation and style remaining intact. With his own productions receiving widespread support from as wide-ranging DJs from Skream to Crookers to Mary Anne Hobbs to Gaslamp Killer, Jakes has gone on to produce remixes that have topped download charts and he regularly receives extensive radio coverage. With this in mind, it’s no wonder that his label has a host of talented artists releasing their productions through the HENCH imprint.

Straight Flush DJ Mix July 2010 by Nick Thayer
Time August 6, Friday at 10:00pm - Saturday at 6:00am
Location Ink & Coherent
Ink & Coherent are proud to bring you back one of Australia's biggest producers and DJ's, Nick Thayer with special guest AV show specialist sevenmilligram.
An Ink & Coherent favourite, hot off the back of his album release tour for 'Just Let It Go', Nick joins us to bang out another massive night of huge tunes and and rock Coherent.
Joining him this time round is brother Theo - sevenmilligram - showcasing a specialised AV Serato show. Nick Thayer is no stranger to rocking parties. But we don't need to go into that. What we do need to go into is the coalition he has formed with visual artist sevenmilligram. This is still club music. This is still party. This is still everything you'd expect from Nick Thayer musically. When you couple this with custom made visuals for every jam, visuals designed to take the experience to that next step, we're talking about something special. This is no ordinary DJ vs AV show. This is an assault on the senses. This is a musical and visual powerhouse. This is a sensory overload. This is the new standard.'
If you weren't lucky enough to catch Nick on Easter weekend then don't miss this!

NICK THAYER DJ BIO:
There is no-one else who can drop a set like Nick Thayer. Every single track is his exclusive. An original. A remix. A re-edit. A bootleg. A mash-up. Equal parts hip hop, club, rave, house, drum and bass. No-one can put it together like Thayer either. Perhaps it is the throwback rock moves, the seat-of your-pants approach. Feeling kinda like a freight train on the edge of control. Some jams you will definitely know, some you might know, some you definitely won't. All will make you move.
In the studio Nick is one of the most widely recognised and respected names across a multitude of genres. Massive tracks like Ca$h Money, Reach For The Lazers, Mind Control (as found on PS2 game 'Motor Storm'), and the MOP approved Ante Up remix have all blasted through sound systems like dy-no-miiiite. Sway, DJ Yoda, Wizard Sleeve, AC Slater, Sporty O, Trevor Loveys, A Skillz, and Black Noise are part of the long list of people Nick has worked with in the past year alone. With releases on Southern Fried (Fatboyslim's label), Passenger, Sweat It Out, Klub Kids, Insane Bangers, Bombstrikes, and many more, you'll find everyone from Kissy Sell Out to Freestylers to Cuban Brothers to Utah Saints rocking his tunes week in week out in the clubs.
May 2010 sees the long awaited release of Nick Thayer's album 'Just Let It Go' through Passenger. Musically it forms an amalgamation of sonic sound clashes. Alongside this Nick has been working with visual artist sevenmilligram creating a DJ/AV show. As with all of Nick's endeavours this is aimed squarely at the club. The focus is on making you jump, using the visuals to connect in another medium.
There ain't no party like a Nick Thayer party. Put your rave shoes on and get ready to dance.
