Mad Era & In The Vortex Remixed

Available from:

Quoted from Simplify Recordings

The city of Los Angeles has found itself the proud home of a focused bass technician who has been making visceral waves throughout the bass music community at festivals like Lightning In a Bottle, Coachella & numerous other venues from Burning Man to Tel Aviv. Stephan Jacobs , a self-proclaimed music junkie, has once again peaked public interest with a savvy new remix album. “Mad Era & In The Vortex: Remixed”. His well-received EP’s “Mad Era” & “In The Vortex” have undergone a double-barreled booster shot of dubstep, grime, and gltich-hop remixes to become a welcome addition to any artists performances. Multi-genre spanning tracks ranging from IDM to Drum & Bass are provided by a hand-picked roster of West Coast beat masters. Pick up the album to add another go-to weapon for your music arsenal.

Remixes by:

Freddy Todd | Ruff Hauser | Stiletto | Dubvirus | ChrisB.Heavenly Father | ONE4ALL | Mr. Bill | jOBOT

Sycamore Trees Video Remix

I present you with The Grounded.TV Network premiere of my new video remix of ‘Sycamore Trees’ by Angelo Badalamenti. It is a video remix using scenes from the season two finale of the series “Twin Peaks” by David Lynch, which was inspired by my drummer SunEvil, who performs live drums for the track. The video editing was a collective effort of Myself, Smash Le Funk and Matthew Loniero. The video contains a shortened version of the song, to DOWNLOAD THE FULL TRACK for free, please go to http://listn.to/GroundedTV

Pizza Party – Deep Dish EP

Pizza Party – Deep Dish EP

(Stephan Jacobs & NiT GriT)

The name of this project came about as a combination of NiT GriT’s endless desire for pizza,
and Stephan Jacobs’ constant quest for partying. Pizza Party gives listeners of both artists a
chance to hear a second style added to their favorite type music.      ~Ethan Bear

Memekast

Happy Holidays :)

I’m very excited to announce the release of my new Memekast.

After a full year of touring and studio time, I have built up a large collection of unreleased tracks that I felt would be nice to put on a mixtape for you.


Quoted from Memekast

This episode of the Memekast will be the last one for 2011, and in typical fashion we like go out and in with a bang. For number 64 we take you to Los Angeles, for a special mix from Stephan Jacobs. Having known Stephan for a few years, it was an obvious choice. But we had to wait until he had the time. Also having been selected by The Do Lab as a featured performer at Coachella for the last two years, Lighting in a Bottle, Nocturnal Wonderland, Burning Man, and many other festivals, underground events, and clubs this summer. He has a virtually non-stop touring schedule.

This year has proven to be an exciting one for the West Coast dance music scene and for Stephan as well. He has certainly been turning heads with his signature sound of up-tempo dubstep and glitch hop, with a string of releases on Simplify Recordings and Muti Music, featuring both solo material and collaborations from some of our favorites producers like +verb, with whom he produced Blind Dreams, a track which topped the charts on Soundcloud in its first week on the site. He also has upcoming releases from his side project with Nit Grit, Pizza Party, collaborations with ill-Esha, Love and Light and our friend and previous Memekast artist, RuffHauser. Next year already looks like it’s going to be one for the books.

Thank you for listening. 2011 was a very big year for us. And we hope that we can help to make your 2012 even better.

New Massive Patches and Sample Bank Available

Stephan Jacobs is proud to announce the release of new production tools for those interested in creating huge sounds.

This NI Massive pack is a follow-up to his previous release of Massive patches, this time Stephan has also created a go-to sample bank for big drum sounds.
Instead of searching through countless sample banks looking for sounds, he has created a bank of his own with many useful drum samples.

He has decided to allow up-and-coming producers to purchase these sounds for their tracks.

The new patches are available now for $15, and the price of the old patches has been reduced to $10. The 2012 Massive Patches includes 34 huge bass sounds, as well as 15 synth sounds for producers to study and figure out the process of creating the sounds.

The sample bank is also available for $15, and we have created a few bundle options that will save you some cash. There is a total of 305 drum samples in the sample bank. Included are 61 huge kick samples, 76 dynamic snares and claps, 102 cymbals, 26 percussion and 40 FX sounds.



Download a free preview of a few massive patches and some samples free here
