With his own sound and style he wants to send out a clear signal about who he really is and what to expect when listening to his tracks, mixes and live gigs. Through incredible skills and his intense work ethic, Jacob has risen from humble beginnings to become a world wide recognized name. In 2011, Jacob was seen as the most promising crossover DJ/Producer in the scene by bringing together different styles of electronic dance music. With a monthly residency at Time Out (Awarded as "Most Populair Club in Holland"), he managed to develop his own unique floor driven style and that paved the way for greater triumphs.</b></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWkj8ymNq81pLhYAfdvgCWv8IwFgkF3xFxhSritZFz_SdscRYeePfrfR88MWnMBDchl5loZqrEfY3IiJMFp4Gwsi6YUWp9wE80vO4QE_GijREMHSVPJOFXn4sxweN_yRD7GjOp_ago45k/s1600/jacob+van+hage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="400" loading="lazy" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWkj8ymNq81pLhYAfdvgCWv8IwFgkF3xFxhSritZFz_SdscRYeePfrfR88MWnMBDchl5loZqrEfY3IiJMFp4Gwsi6YUWp9wE80vO4QE_GijREMHSVPJOFXn4sxweN_yRD7GjOp_ago45k/s400-rw/jacob+van+hage.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /> PRODUCING</span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;">In the studio, Jacob's sound truly comes alive. With his remix of "Acid Dream" he proved to be able to treat a classic with respect. The wide image and feel he wants to send out can be heard when you hear "On Stage"! This track is focused more on the Bigroom Progressive side of music, one of Jacob's favorite styles and supported by many in the likes of Tiesto, Hardwell & Dash Berlin. And then there's "Synthomanic"... a track that you would have to invent an entirely new genre for in order to describe it. Jacob took the liberty and named it for you; Stomp House. Synthomanic has gained huge support from some of the biggest names in the scene;</span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /> Tiesto: "SICKKKK"</span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Sidney Samson: "Play! Or die!"</span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Steve Aoki: "Stomping track!"</span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;">And also in the list, an award from Dadalife: "The Champagne & Banana Stomp Award!"</span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /> In 2011 Jacob enjoyed more success, with his smash hit "Spotfire" (Doorn/Spinnin' Records) he landed a #1 position on Beatport and countless compilation signings worldwide. Spotfire was considered the biggest track at Ultra Music Festival during the Miami Winter Music Conference 2011. Industry giants Dim Mak took note; they signed another banger called "Eponym" (from a collab with D-Wayne). With firm support of Mr Steve Aoki himself things can only get better for Jacob. Also Dadalive is one of his followers, Jacob was asked to remix the track "Fightclub is closed" that topped the charts for weeks. After this remix there was the Jacob van Hage Remix for Ferry Corsten's "Feel It" wich also contains the signature snares and dubstep crossover flow as Spotfire has.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /> Another beauty in the list is "Convoi", also released on Doorn Records! This was the turning point for Jacob because he found his true love: House VS Trance ; Trouse! Uplifting, pounding, trancy but still at 128 BPM, which gained him lots of respect and support.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /> DJ-ING</span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;">His ability to entertain a crowd, swirl them round and leave them wanting more makes him a promoter's dream. When Jacob steps into the DJ booth he becomes a monster and the true entertainer in him surfaces, the guy is all over the place! With his own sense and feel on the atmosphere, Jacob turns every dancefloor into mayhem. "I really love to get into the vibe of the dancefloor in front of me and play the tracks my heart tells me to play," as Jacob explains himself. This is why Dim Mak asked Jacob to join their stage at Tomorrowland with Steve Aoki, Afrojack & Dada Life among others and MTV asked Jacob to join their Club MTV Clubtour for 2012. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /> Also abroad things are really lifting off for this sympathetic Dutchman. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /> With invitations from every corner of the world, 2012 will be the year of numerous international gigs and more mindblowing productions, remixes and collabs.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>We spoke to Jacob van Hage about his upcoming <a href="http://www.thinkinelectronic.com/2013/11/jacob-van-hage-south-africa-tour-2013.html?q=jacob" target="_blank">South Africa tour</a> in November/ December..</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><b><br /></b></span> <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">When you hear south africa whats the first thing that comes to mind?</span></b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Music wise, that's a hard question because before I visit a country for the first time, I ask myself "How crazy will this crowd get?" and "How will they react on my new music?". So very much looking forward to my gigs here!</span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <b><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;">You have an upcoming south africa tour what are you most looking forward to about visiting the country ? Is there anything you not looking forward to?</span></b><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span></b> I'm still a bit stuck on which places I should visit, I want to learn something about the country while I'm there and what local food I'm going to eat… so any tips, let me know them via Twitter (@JacobvanHage) haha!</span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>What can fans expect from your sets?</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><b><br /></b></span> A Jacob Van Hage set is all about energy & connection! Energy in the hypes & drops, an inner connection through melody & vocals. Before I hop on the plane I decide which tracks I'll bring, but which of those I'm going to play is up to the crowd! It totally depends on the level of energy I get from them, because that always helps me decide what they need at that particular moment on the dancefloor!</span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <br /> <ul class="sc-list-nostyle sc-clearfix" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 16px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> <li class="web-profiles__item" style="margin: 0px 0px 5px;"><div class="sc-truncate" style="overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"> <a class="web-profile sc-link-light" href="http://www.jacobvanhage.com/" rel="me nofollow" style="color: #999999; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="sc-social-icon sc-social-icon-personal" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; background-position: 50% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; display: inline-block; height: 16px; overflow: hidden; text-indent: 16px; vertical-align: top; width: 16px;"></span> Jacob van Hage Official</span></a></div> </li> <li class="web-profiles__item" style="margin: 0px 0px 5px;"><div class="sc-truncate" style="overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"> <a class="web-profile sc-link-light" href="http://facebook.com/profile.php?id=1711301164" rel="me nofollow" style="color: #999999; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="sc-social-icon sc-social-icon-facebook" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; background-position: 50% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; display: inline-block; height: 16px; overflow: hidden; text-indent: 16px; vertical-align: top; width: 16px;"></span> Facebook</span></a></div> </li> <li class="web-profiles__item" style="margin: 0px 0px 5px;"><div class="sc-truncate" style="overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"> <a class="web-profile sc-link-light" href="https://plus.google.com/u/jacobvanhage" rel="me nofollow" style="color: #999999; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="sc-social-icon sc-social-icon-googleplus" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; background-position: 50% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; display: inline-block; height: 16px; overflow: hidden; text-indent: 16px; vertical-align: top; width: 16px;"></span> Google+</span></a></div> </li> <li class="web-profiles__item" style="margin: 0px 0px 5px;"><div class="sc-truncate" style="overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"> <a class="web-profile sc-link-light" href="http://twitter.com/jacobvanhage" rel="me nofollow" style="color: #999999; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="sc-social-icon sc-social-icon-twitter" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; background-position: 50% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; display: inline-block; height: 16px; overflow: hidden; text-indent: 16px; vertical-align: top; width: 16px;"></span> Twitter</span></a></div> </li> <li class="web-profiles__item" style="margin: 0px 0px 5px;"><div class="sc-truncate" style="overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"> <a class="web-profile sc-link-light" href="http://youtube.com/user/jacobvanhage" rel="me nofollow" style="color: #999999; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="sc-social-icon sc-social-icon-youtube" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; background-position: 50% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; display: inline-block; height: 16px; overflow: hidden; text-indent: 16px; vertical-align: top; width: 16px;"></span> YouTube</span></a></div> </li> </ul> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><iframe frameborder="no" height="450" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/users/920759" width="100%"></iframe> </span>
