Heard It Here First

Empowered by the vigor and free-flowing nature of the wind, the multi-faceted production maestro OkayJake manipulates a new world of sound to take listeners on a captivating journey with his latest release titled “Can’t Control the Wind.”

Guided by his passion for boundless electronic production, Atlanta-native producer OkayJake continues to earn his musical stripes as he illustrates time and time again that the sky is the limit in terms of his sonic styles. Jake Friant aka OkayJake’s discography highlights his masterful knack for diving headfirst into various diverse subgenres to craft an unpredictable bass-fueled odyssey.

Fans aren’t the only ones mesmerized by OkayJake’s production prowess. This year OkayJake enlisted two hefty bass-bending artists, VCTRE and Gunpoint, for two monstrous collaborated pieces, “Rise” with VCTRE and “Bright Shadows” with Gunpoint, off his Lost Notes EP.

For those looking to catch OkayJake’s genre-defying talents live, get ready to add him to you’re upcoming festival schedules this fall as he prepares to grace the stages of Sound Haven and WAKAAN Music Festival with a b2b performance with Gunpoint in just a few months. Not to mention OkayJake will also be lending his destructive discography in support of Tape B, Mersiv, and Zeds Dead for their upcoming tour stops. 

OkayJake’s new single “Can’t Control the Wind” lulls listeners into his ever-changing soundscape fueled by his manipulation of distorted reverb. True to its title, “Can’t Control the Wind” embodies an airy sense of controlled chaos as each bar leaves us guessing where the next will take us.

Much like the nature of the wind, OkayJake uses the power of sound to illustrate the true essence of life: that there are infinite possible destinations if only you allow yourself to succumb to the journey.

Here’s what OkayJake had to say about his latest piece “Can’t Control the Wind” : 

“Can’t Control the Wind, is about the idea that sometimes you just have to let go and ride the flow. Some things in life are just not in our control and accepting that makes life easier to live.” – OkayJake

OkayJake once again proves with this new single that he is a force to be reckoned with within the world of electronic music. We can’t wait to see what’s next from this rising star.
