Jochem Jacobs (born March 26, 1977) is a Dutch guitarist, producer and recording engineer, noted for his work as founder, guitarist and producer for Textures. He works at Split Second Sound,[1] a studio in Amsterdam, and is currently working on Textures' upcoming album to be released with Nuclear Blast.[2] He is endorsed by Mayones guitars.[3]

Jacobs has been involved with the mixing, mastering and production of all Textures albums, including the upcoming album. He had the following to say about the recordings of the album:

It’s all really exciting! This album is really going to express where and what we are these days…and that’s a good thing. We’ve been through a lot lately, especially the last year. Now with some new air and fresh ideas, we finally reached the point that we are actually quite confident in the new material..Sometimes you just have to crawl through the mud first to get to dry grounds. We are in the middle of the preproduction now, getting our asses in gear to create this baby. It’s kinda cool to see this band grow more and more and to continue this musical journey that we’ve been on for 10 years! Let’s make this thing heavy!!![4]

He also produced the albums Altitude by Autumn and Kingdom of Contradiction by Intwine, both released in 2009 and Face Tomorrow's self-titled fourth full length album in 2011, "The Waste Land" by Hord released in 2010.

From 1995 to 2001 he played with his brother Sander Jacobs in the Dutch crossover metal band Ground Control. They've released 2 demos and 1 album.
