Jakeeq & Friends

Emerging from the vibrant UK drum and bass scene, Birmingham-based producer Jakeeq makes a powerful statement with the release of his debut EP, Jakeeq & Friends, now available on CK Records. This 6-track project is a bold introduction to Jakeeq’s signature sound — raw, unfiltered, and deeply rooted in the underground drum and bass culture.

Jakeeq & Friends is a dynamic exploration of the genre, showcasing high-energy beats, intricate production, and a strong collaborative spirit. Each track features standout vocalists and producers from across the DnB landscape, highlighting Jakeeq’s ability to merge cutting-edge sound design with emotionally resonant storytelling.

The EP opens with “Oddworld,” a deep, atmospheric cut featuring the distinctive vocals of Ullah, setting the tone with immersive textures and rich basslines. “PTSD” follows, bringing haunting tension and intensity with razor-sharp bars from Mista X, capturing the darker edge of modern drum and bass.

Next up is “Glitchy,” a grime-influenced banger featuring Jab, which blends glitchy effects and bass-heavy breakdowns into a gritty, dancefloor-ready anthem. “With Me” sees Jakeeq team up with long-time collaborator Narsti3 and powerhouse vocalist Jugganaut, delivering an emotionally charged roller that bridges melody with momentum.

The penultimate track, “Energy,” lives up to its name — a fast-paced, high-octane tune with explosive verses from MC Daddy G and Jugganaut, designed to ignite any rave or festival set. Closing out the EP is “Suffocated Mess” featuring MC Stevo, diving into darker, introspective territory with industrial textures and an eerie atmosphere.

More than just a debut, Jakeeq & Friends is a bold declaration of intent. With innovative production, heavyweight collaborations, and a deep respect for the roots of drum and bass, Jakeeq cements himself as a rising force in the UK underground electronic music scene.
