Leeds-based audio-visual artist, modular synthesist and electronic composer Jake Mehew works across electronic dance music, immersive sound and performance. His practice combines modular synthesis, generative systems and live hardware techniques to create dynamic, improvised performances that move between dancefloor-focused techno and exploratory electronic sound. For EMF Festival, Jake will present a two-hour live set built around his Doepfer A-100 Eurorack modular synthesiser, Pulsar-23 drum machine and laptop. The performance will deliver an immersive, audio-reactive dance experience, combining improvised techno with evolving generative structures and real-time generated visuals. Jake Mehew has performed at festivals and events including Houghton Festival, We Out Here and Superbooth, and has supported artists such as Suzanne Ciani, Alessandro Cortini, Arooj Aftab, The Comet Is Coming and Roy Ayers. An active advocate for live, inclusive, hardware-driven electronic music culture, Jake Mehew is co-founder of Computer Club in Leeds, an event dedicated to showcasing synthesiser-based performance beyond the laptop. His work places a strong emphasis on process, transparency and the physicality of sound-making, inviting audiences into the mechanics of live electronic systems. His debut album Sage received support from tastemakers including Gilles Peterson and Huey Morgan, while the follow-up Microcosms was developed using MONOM Berlin’s 56-speaker spatial audio system, exploring large-scale immersive listening environments.
