Format Wars |║ ▌Berlin b23 space

a deep escapade by Amsterdam-based @akahyoo

₀₂₁ 𝗮𝗸𝗮 𝗵𝘆𝗼𝗼

For the second volume of lazed, a mix series thought as a playground for listening music, we're happy to introduce Italian DJ and visual artist Aka Hyoo. Next to Djing in a club setting, the Decadance collective co-owner has always been keen of experimental listening music scenarios. Through his selections, he guides the listener into a blend of cinematic sounds, creating vivid and otherworldly sonic experiences. 

Aka Hyoo: "The introspective silence of John Cage's "4'33''" and Plastic Ono Band's "give peace a chance" samples, set the floor to this melancholic cinematic odyssey, inspired by Jim Jarmusch's Champagne chapter from "Coffee and Cigarettes.” Contrasting emotions intertwine, mixing popular and upbeat sounds with darker, somber moods through sporadic vocals, endless loops, and noisy glitches. It is a personal reflection on the world, crafted to evoke a sense of distance and contemplation."

Caninal Takeover w/ Aka Hyoo (23/03/24)

Poorly Lit with @akahyoo invited by @notmass

"Born and raised in Perugia (IT), Aka Hyoo (Gabriele) moved to Amsterdam in 2018 after his graduation at the Design University of San Marino, and an internship in Videomapping in Florence, bringing with him a rich background in design, visual art and projection mappings.
He runs @decadanceamsterdam together with Aritmia Sonora - an event, label, and mix series based in Amsterdam.
His passion for meticulously crafted sounds, mix intricately popular and underground music into storytelling landscapes from both international and Italian artists. Inspired by trip hop, dub, downtempo, and idm, he combines deep basslines and sharp glitches to cinematic sounds, while industrial and electrical feelings found their way throughout techno rhythms, creating vivid and otherworldly sonic experiences. It is a fusion of obscure atmospheres, intricate drum patterns, uplifting melodies and nostalgia."
