This Tuesday at Cervantes we have a triple threat. We’re talking about the mc, producer, and DJ known as Jakes. Jakes exploded onto the jungle scene in the early 2000’s with his unique and unforgettable voice. He has recorded and performed with some of the biggest names in dnb/jungle music. Check out this rarely seen footage of Jakes spitting fire while Tech Itch rocks the acetate dubplates.
His most notable lyrical work has been collaborations with Technical Itch and TC.
In 2006, Jakes took the dubstep world by storm with his dark, dance floor smasher, “3Kout” which later became the first release on his label H.E.N.C.H Recordings. This massive tune was taken to the next level when Jakes and Joker combined forces with “3kout”and “Gully Brook Lane.” Take the sinister sound of Jakes and mix in the purple sound of Joker and there you have it, “3K Lane.” It was very clear that Jakes was no longer “just” a jungle MC. His music made him a powerhouse and force to be recon with in the dubstep scene.
Jakes continued to amaze listeners with his jaw-dropping brand of bass, wobble and sounds. Tracks likes “Modem,” “Warface,” “Somebody Say,” and “Rock the Bells” have left dance floors completely mashed up.

Jakes and Sub.Mission have a very close bond. He has played Denver several times including the Sub.Mission 4 year anniversary and our very own Nicole’s Birthday. If you’ve seen Jakes before, you know that attendance is a must. If you have never seen Jakes live, now is your chance to catch this legendary MC, Poducer and DJ. You also have a chance to win a meet and greet with the man himself. Check out the Sub.Mission Facebook page for more info!
Make sure to get to the venue before 10 PM to catch the ribcage rattling sounds of Thanom. Stick around after Jakes to hear Subliminal close out the night. Longtime Sub.Mission resident Subliminal is known for his deep, dark and grimey sets.
Here’s some recent tunes to get you ready for Tuesday.
