Mika Oki (@mikaoki1) is an expert in spatial design, whether through the music she makes or the sculpture she creates. The French-Japanese visual artist works with video, sound, and electro-acoustics to create abstract textures and mental imagery that perfectly intersect the worlds of club rhythm and ambient experimentation. In the past she has been behind 24 hour performance pieces involving dancers, performers and poets, has played high concept festivals such as Atonal and Nyege Nyege and recently served up 'As Clean As I Was,' a debut production for a forward looking compilation on Metaphore Industrie.  On top of this, she also opened up the Brussels branch of LYL radio and hosted a fundraiser for the vital community station. 

Her mixes are never less than faultless and this week she crafts one such trip which balances many opposites: heady ambient synth work and rugged drums, busy acid workouts and sparse, bass heavy rhythm tracks, cathartic passages of musical mindfulness with brutal drum assaults. Artists like Pq, Sirio, Low End Activist, Simo Cell, Aphex Twin and Hanz all feature to make for a selection that tugs you in many different directions at once, both physically and emotionally, and for that reason we cannot get enough.

Kaero's selections blur the boundaries between the emotional and the cerebral, feeling equally at home in peak time dancefloor sets and intimate braindance sessions. Refusing to adhere to any genre conventions, Kaero seamlessly navigates heavy bass frequencies, evocative vocals, and fragmented drum breaks, weaving together a cinematic journey of experimental and deconstructed sound.
