Biografía

  • Quality house music selection and djing meets digital editorial thinking. South-american antropocene at its finest.
    Jacobo "Jake" Rivera, born in Manizales, Colombia in '98, is a multifaceted artist deeply entrenched in the world of music. Known as a DJ/selector and music producer, Jake's passion for the musical and aesthetic realms is ingrained in his artistic identity. His devotion to the classical 4/4 rhythms of house, disco, and jazzy house sets him apart. With meticulous care, he curates and performs sets that showcase the timeless allure of these genres. As a versatile producer, Jake has traversed a diverse range of sounds and influences. His early productions, rooted in deep house and organic house music, found a home in renowned labels such as Ketalar Recordings (Manchester) and Gentlemen Lounge Records (Bosnia). Over time, his evolving releases have embraced a more pronounced house and disco orientation. Beyond his musical pursuits, Jake holds a Philosophy M.A in Naturalized Aesthetics. In the academic sphere, he serves as a journal editor and college teacher. The fusion of his philosophical roots with his passion for music has led Jake to co-found Compact Rituals alongside his friends and co-founders, Josho and Alex Üll. Compact Rituals is not just a talent agency; it is an editorial experiment that delves into the history and philosophy surrounding house music as a ritual. Jake and his collaborators explore how this genre has historically fought to bring people together, democratize recreational spaces, and create moments of genuine human connection. In an era marked by communication without true connection, Compact Rituals stands as a testament to the enduring power of music in fostering meaningful human bonds.
