Hodge, also known as Jacob Martin, had his first experiences of dance music as a 10-year old school boy, whizzing around a dark roller-disco. He has since left his native Kent and setup camp in the creative hub that is Bristol, making a real mark on the cities vibrant electronic music scene and the current resurgence in house.

Whether it be his work as Hodge, or as one half of Outboxx (alongside Matt Lambert); Martin is pricking up all the right ears right about now. Stand out releases on Pollen, Immerse, Idle Hands and Well Rounded are seemingly just the start for this talented character.
