August Jakobsen

August Jakobsen is a producer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist who creates deep house, chill-
out and live house music.
Based in London, August plays stripped back house using jazzy melodic lines that bring to
mind debauched soul music for the dancefloor. A uniquely melodic style runs through his
original productions thanks to a background in jazz composition, while his DJ sets are filled
with original tracks and re-edits, often featuring guest vocalists and live synths.
August has also been producing and performing dub and chillout music for over a decade,
using atmospheric keys and dubby pulses to create deep chill out with a twist.
This August experience is organic and understated, as spacious ambient sounds entwine
with soulful vocals and textured, subtle melodies.
August is also one-half of APP alongside Peter Pixzel. Together, they create raw, organic
house and techno tracks, performing live and DJ sets.
Originally hailing from Copenhagen, August was educated at London’s Trinity College of
Music, and holds a BA (Hons) in Music Performance, specialising in jazz guitar.
August has released on Shadow Sanctuary, Nifu Nifu, Diynamic, Kindisch, Global
Underground, Secret Life, Stella Polaris and WetYourSelf! Records.
