Part man, part mystery, ALL pop cultural encyclopedia: Jaguar Skills is the type of DJ who won’t just identify a sample, he’ll source the recording date, studio, musicians and engineers. Given time, he’ll find out what they had for breakfast that day, too.

An artist, DJ, producer, curator, archivist and so many other roles in between, he’s just as likely to be touring with The Prodigy as he is making Netflix theme tunes for comedian Romesh Ranganathan. On other days he could be writing entire scores to movies that only exist in his mind, such as his debut album ‘The Man In The Jaguar Mask’, or creating complex trips for his Hip-Hop Timebomb project; epic mixes that take his story-telling skills and dexterous chops to such levels of delicious detail you’ll be scratching your head more than he scratches the records.
The list of credits and creative accomplishment since his first ever DJ set in 2002 is as endless as it is eclectic. From producing Lupe Fiasco’s breakthrough hit ‘We Love You’ (2006) to creating a brand new KRS-One banger from an old forgotten acapella in the Nervous Records basement (‘Big Up New York’, 2014) via his consistent and highly respected presence in the drum & bass scene via releases on labels such as RAM and Viper, Jaguar Skills continues to weave and bob across the whole pop culture spectrum with nothing but passion for the craft, nerdy obsession and a devout celebration of the culture.

The man, the mystery, the encyclopedic knowledge continues…
