Jake Mandell is one in the growing breed of U.S. bedroom producers who have made it big on European labels. He came to fame while living in Minnesota studying for his biochemistry degree. In his spare time, Mandell composed experimental drum and bass, which, after being repeatedly turned down by the mainstream labels, he released on his own Primedeep imprint. Mandell got his first big break after sending a demo tape to London's Worm Interface. The label, an offshoot of Ambient Soho record store, loved Mandell's intricate, clever techno, and duly released his debut album, Parallel Processes.
