ZOiD – Portal

Daniel Jacobson is the musical mastermind behind ZOiD, a Dublin-born melodious sensation with an extremely decorated musical résumé to date.

Jacobson was as young as 17 when his initial techno releases caught the attention of D1 Records head Eamonn Doyle, who subsequently provided Jacobson with opportunities to record further music at the D1 studio.

A torrent of noticeable performances and accolades were quick to follow, where Jacobson performed at the likes of The Funnel 4, Decal’s Phunk City and D1. Furthermore, Jacobson beat thousands of applicants to participate in the 2006 Red Bull Music Academy in Melbourne, where he would rub shoulders with the likes of co-participants Flying Lotus and Oddisee, as well as a host of elite lecturers such as Mark Pritchard, Peter Hook, Derrick May, Mike Paradinas, Hyperdub founder Kode9, and many more.

The fun certainly doesn’t stop there, and Jacobson has released two albums and numerous EPs on labels such as Meljoann’s Boy Scout Audio, French label Hormonal Vibrationz, his beloved D1, and even has his own label named Zoitrax. He has recently signed two tracks to Metamorphic Records, including the “Dexaphonic EP”, which audiences can enjoy soon. And, with his newest album ZONGS having been released in the April of 2022, ZOiD fans can enjoy more of Jacobson and a huge variation of vocal collaborations that pack his third album with non-stop variety.

Thanks to a joint adoration for anything sci-fi, “Portal” will be the first collaborative release from two of Ireland’s extremely skilled artists in the music production scene, but audiences can expect a second joint effort in the future.

Portal is a cosmic and inter-dimensional effort, including soaring vocals from Meljoann so beautiful that they could touch the heart of a beloved companion in an alternative universe, and expertly backed by a string quartet performed by Cora Venus Lunney, Aoife Durnin and Ailbhe McDonagh.
