JakoJako (@jakojako_live) always wanted to make music and her self-confessed hyperactivity ultimately led to her getting the most joy out of playing about with machines and patching up synths. These days the Berghain resident is a celebrated live act and DJ who draws on the considerable knowledge she picked up working at Berlin's legendary synth shop SchneidersLaden, but she has also worked on several high-profile motion sensor dance projects at places like The Royal Albert Hall. Her smart sound designs and unique rhythms have landed on Leisure System, Tresor and Figure and she has a new EP coming on Mute this June.

Her mix for us this week features a sneak preview of one of the tracks from that EP as well as mixing up music from Alaric, Siege, Altinbas and many more. It's full of high-speed sounds couched loosely in techno but with moods and textures borrowed from industrial, minimal and even trance as things reach an emotional peak late on. Though she broke through as a live act, this set shows JakoJako can now speak just as freely through the decks.

Initially, I recorded this mix just for myself to get in the new year's eve mood – it’s full of trance, acid tracks, and everything in between, all 90s favorites. I decided to share it with you so you’d have something nice to play in the background tonight.
And, this is the start of my podcasts :)

Have a lovely New Year!

REIGELCAST 001 (Acid+Trance)

The rubber hits the road for a studio mix like no other and British selector IMOGEN’s in the driving seat. Her roots in Southampton and later London are the funnel through which her urban-inflected frequencies travel, an articulation of years spent listening to The Prodigy, Ellen Allien and Umwelt, dark-electro with allusions to UK bass. At a mere 16 years old, she moved to the Big Smoke to study Music Tech, became a regular on Radar Radio and was playing in the booth at Berghain a short two years later, with a Fabric residency quickly in tow. 2022 saw her debut EP out on Voitax, an enthusiastically received five track gem that wore her love of breaks and monolith techno confidently. She’s now both Tresor and NTS Radio resident and founder of Wigs, an online hub through which she helps peers connect turned event series and music label. There’s too much to cover before catching your breath really, but it’s openness to experience and energy, not age, that pay the highest dividends. Thoroughly steeped in these internet times, IMOGEN has found a voice that breaks through the wall of endless and indistinguishable sounds and delivers on a pledge to get crowds moving. Bassiani Podcast does that, rattling beats that shapeshift to the breaks weighted sounds synonymous with a UK upbringing, this is a call back to corporeal experience. A 90-minute direct line to the essence of techno from one of the UK’s most promising names.

DVS1 came up as a raver in the Midwest, throwing techno parties for over 20 years and getting up to mischief, often next to huge stacks of speakers that still influence him to this day. He is now well-established as a vital DJ and resident at Berghain and Panorama Bar. 

This mix is something special and a side of DVS1 normally not heard or recorded! A true digger and passionate record collector running the eclectic Mistress Recordings and the more pure techno label HUSH. Here he crosses into house territory for a special dekmantel mix. 

Of the podcast we have here, he says, “This mix is two hours of a four hour rare “house” set recorded LIVE in Sept 2017 at an undisclosed location. I make it a point not to release many mixes and while most people know and follow me for my techno sets, this mix is for those who dig a little deeper and appreciate it all… Enjoy!" There is still a real sense of pace to the mix as it glides effortlessly though flurries of percussion into vocal numbers, cosmic curveballs and piano laced anthems. It’s a fascinating insight into a whole other side of one of techno’s foremost talents.
