The current line up of Jakob began in July 1998 in the heart of Napier [where they still reside] with the first gigs opening for Salmonella Dub and Pitch Black in Napier at the local pub O'Flahertys. In October of the same year they recorded and released their self-titled EP with Venn Studios David Holmes and continued prolifically touring throughout 1999. Jakob played the 2000 "The Event" New Years party in Napier, and released a 7" single in February 2000 through Crawlspace Records entitled - Erfro.

In March 2001 they began the recording of there first album with Venn Producer engineer David Holmes entitled - 'Subsets of Sets' which was later released through Midium Records in August of that year. The third release in 2001 from Midium [following the Meterman and Day One albums], 'Subsets of Sets' was one of the lushest and expansive albums released in New Zealand. The successes of the album lead them to be nominated for "Best New Artist" at the 2001 B-Net New Zealand Music Awards and "Best Album" at the following 2002 Awards. Successive tours followed with the likes of Kahu, Meterman, Avotor, and appearances at the 2002 Big Day Out before returning to the studio in early 2003 to record their second long player, 'Cale:Drew'.
