About

JakoJako doesn't just play synthesizers; she interrogates them. This Berlin-based producer and live artist is forging a distinctive path through the electronic music landscape, one circuit bend and modular patch at a time. Her sound, a potent blend of hard-hitting techno, melodic ambient washes, and experimental sound design, draws inspiration from pioneers like Aphex Twin and early Warp Records artists while carving out its own uniquely textured territory. JakoJako's journey began with a deep dive into modular synthesis, a passion evident in her intricate live sets that prioritize improvisation and raw energy over pre-programmed perfection. Her breakthrough came with a string of critically acclaimed EPs and standout performances at renowned venues like Berghain’s Säule and festivals across Europe. Beyond the dance floor, JakoJako is dedicated to education, running workshops and demystifying the world of modular synthesis for aspiring artists. She recently launched a record label with Rødhåd called WSNWG, further solidifying her influence within the techno community. Her recent releases, including contributions to compilations on WSNWG, showcase her evolving sound, a constantly shifting tapestry of rhythmic complexity and atmospheric depth. JakoJako represents the future of techno: raw, innovative, and undeniably captivating.
