Jake Muir is a Berlin based sound artist, DJ, and field recordist. He approaches his practice as a listener first, carefully curating, layering and processing sounds that help him deconstruct and contextualize his lived experiences and influences. Using investigative software methodologies, DJ techniques, and dextrous engineering, Muir makes deeply personal sonic art that fluidly traverses genre, encouraging reflection, and sometimes prompting psychedelic states.

In 2018, on the acclaimed, Sferic-released 'Lady's Mantle', Muir heavily manipulated sampled elements from classic surf-rock tracks, paying tribute to his upbringing in Los Angeles. Turning these familiar sounds into billowing textures and syrupy hallucinogenic drones, he began to form a unique sonic signature that he's been refining ever since. With 2021's 'Mana', released on Munich's cult Ilian Tape label, he embraced the misunderstood "illbient" sub-genre - a New York City born style that fused hip-hop and dub elements with industrial and experimental sounds - repurposing its hallmarks to consider the relevance of those concepts in a new era of musical hybridity. Not willing to be pigeonholed, Muir formed an unlikely partnership with guitarist and producer Evan Caminiti a year later. Applying his sound design experience to Caminiti's death metal-inspired improvisations, he sculpted gusty soundscapes on 'Talisman', an album described by Boomkat as "anti-ambient".
