Amidst the rhythmic waves of the electronic music scene, Australian bass maestro JACKNIFE emerges with an offering set to redefine the standards – ‘THE BLADE ROOM’ EP. This hypnotic 6-track masterpiece arrives hot on the heels of his groundbreaking debut at Sound Nightclub, a testament to a multi-genre journey sweeping the nation. Now, with its heart-thumping tracks reverberating through the airwaves, we dive into the beats and the backstory that make ‘THE BLADE ROOM’ a must-hear.
Basking in the spotlight of his inaugural U.S. tour, JACKNIFE’s latest EP is a sonic exploration of old and new. It’s a celebration of house grooves, innovative basslines, and the rhythmic magic JACKNIFE has perfected over the years. From the energetic pulses of “MOVE” to the bass-rich undertones of “HIVE MIND,” each track embodies a distinct essence, a story of its own.
An artist’s perspective always adds a rich layer to their creation, and in JACKNIFE’s words, the EP is a harmonious blend of his traditional sound palette with a fresh and dynamic approach. As he plays with energetic rhythms, nostalgic vocals, and hard-hitting drums, the EP transforms into a journey traversing his musical evolution.
What makes this even more enthralling is the live experiences accompanying the release. Fresh off the success of his debut U.S. tour, which witnessed a sold-out spectacle supporting SVDDEN DEATH at Academy LA, JACKNIFE is gearing up for the next chapter. The second phase of his THE BLADE ROOM Tour, set to kick off on September 15th, promises fans an immersive journey into the heart of bass music.
Looking back, JACKNIFE, at 28, hailing from Australia’s Sunshine Coast and now making waves in Los Angeles, has always been a force in electronic bass music. His sharp precision in production and performance is evident from hits like “REVOLT” with Malaa and “JERICHO” with The Bloody Beetroots. And with heavyweights like Skrillex, DJ Snake, and Steve Aoki singing praises, JACKNIFE’s rise seems unstoppable.
As “THE BLADE ROOM” EP plays out, capturing both hearts and charts, one thing is clear: JACKNIFE isn’t just riding the wave of bass music; he’s creating it. As he sets out on the next phase of his tour, with more singles and EPs teasing the horizon, the bass scene waits with bated breath for what this prodigious artist has up his sleeve next.
Raised in upstate New York, I was always a big fan of music but never really listened to electronic music. Within the first month of attending Florida State University and meeting some new friends, I was introduced to the rave scene. After seeing Ekali at my first show, I was instantly hooked. Since then, I have dived into every subgenre of electronic music, picked up DJing, and mixed for clubs and different entertainment events in Tallahassee. Once graduating with degrees in marketing and hospitality, I was hired for a sales position. However, I recently decided to leave my sales job to pursue my dream of working in the music industry. Currently, I run Magnetic Magazine's Melodic Techno Charts, along with my role as a PR and marketing specialist for different artists and labels. Some of my favorite artists are REZZ, Kyle Watson, TOBEHONEST, San Pacho, Josh Baker, HUGEL, ARTBAT, Vintage Culture, Ganja White Night, CamelPhat, Green Velvet, Jungle, Milky Chance, Paco Versailles, Franc Moody, and RÜFUS DU SOL. My favorite festivals are Hulaween (by far), EDC Orlando, and all the different venues during Miami Music Week. Outside of music, I love sports (especially hockey, soccer, tennis, basketball, and spike ball), going to the movies, working out, sushi, Chick-fil-A, food in general, and hanging with my dog Maui and my cat Loki. Feel free to reach out to me via my email or on IG, I love expanding my network of friends and business opportunities!
