Ste Roberts & Jacob Dwyer

Back in 2023, I picked up a record by Jacob Dwyer - I was completely captivated. His lyrics weren’t just words; they were portals. I had to track him down. After some digging, I made contact - and asked him if he would like to collaborate with me.

He said yes.

Fast forward through months of back-and-forth, and then it landed - in my inbox - Tom’s House: a one-hour audio-drama written and performed by the incomparable Jacob Dwyer. It’s a hypnotic, surreal journey through the mind of someone returning home after 15 years - disorienting, poetic, and fully immersive.

To accompany this masterwork, I put together my take on Canon HF10 - 12 minutes of deep, rolling tech grooves, bouncing acid basslines, freaked-out synths, and lyrical gold. (“He demanded a fried egg sandwich…”)

Flip to the B-side and things get wild with The Baby Legit Upside Down - a full-tilt burner packed with razor-sharp 808 electro/techno drums, squelchy 101 bass stabs, swirling pads, and an evolving sub that’ll shake the foundations. Dwyer’s voice threads through the chaos with uncanny flair - bizarre, brilliant, unforgettable. The title means what it says.

We close the EP with Red Flowers - slowing the tempo, diving into squelchy breaks and textural weirdness, as Jacob drops in snippets of conversation with his sister, alongside more sharp, off-kilter reflections on Tom’s House.
