Juchs! aka Jake

Juchs! is Jake, an Adelaide DJ and producer working in hard techno, and the name is pronounced juice. The numbers are what stand out first. His SoundCloud carries close to six thousand followers off eighty five uploads, which puts him well ahead of almost anyone else on the local circuit and suggests the material travels a long way past South Australia. The most recent of them is a schranz edit of Rufus Du Sol's Innerbloom, which gives a fair sense of the approach: take something familiar and enormous, then rebuild it at roughly twice the speed with the distortion pushed hard. The bookings sit with Culture. He played Blackout Edition 3.0 at the University of Adelaide cloisters for the promoter's fourth birthday, an outdoor festival rave shared with Dimatik, Anderex and Luke Noize, and supported the Road To Culture pre party at Surge alongside Shift, on a card under David Rust and Tazi.
