This Brooklyn-born DJ got his start at age 14, when he played his first show in the industrial Washington city of Spokane.

After leaving the states during the first gulf war, he came to Germany and attended the school of art in Hamburg. Though he was originally a part of the punk scene, Jake began rapping in ‘92 and has been MCing, beatboxing and DJing his way through the past two decades.

Check out his set for a serious mix of hip-hop, elctro and techno (and sweaty dancing).
