Paris-born OKO DJ doesn't care about genre divisions, going from ambient to gabber to metal in the first 15 minutes of her set - which had Room 2 jumping in the early hours on the morning at Unsound 2023.

You can now experience the full ride as Unsound Podcast 101. Enjoy!

We could only ecord the mix in mono, but OKO DJ and us still felt this mix was so special that it's more about the energy than the perfect sound quality here.

Ran weaves so many melodies, textures, and soft drums in this inimitably beautiful, smart, and jazzy mixtape that brings me to a contemplative state, one where I am holding the energy of those diasporic Coreans in my community, and around the world, who I am connected to through the gift of this mixtape series, and beyond, through our shared ancestral histories of being Corean at all. Within that energy glows the rhythmic echo of oneness with all colonized people today and from all time.

With this edition of the saekdong cover typical of Diasporic Corean Mixtapes, I wanted to bring in the colorway of the Palestinian flag, as well as the net texture present in the keffiyeh, intermingling with the motif of the Korean Unification flag. 

To me, this symbolizes the many parallels between Palestine and Korea, particularly the postwar north of Korea today known as the DPRK. It was the same year of 1948 in which Korea was split into two by the US Military, that on the other side of the globe, Palestine was being pillaged and carved up as well. As in Korea, where today families including those of my paternal grandfather remain separated by an arbitrary militarized border, so too do Palestinians remain exiles from their own villages, farms, cities, ancestral homelands. 

Throughout the 1960s, the leadership of north Korea maintained correspondence with the Palestinian resistance, and even shared military strategies and traded arms. And today, north Korea continues to be maligned, its government borne of anti-colonial resistance labeled as "rogue" by the imperial powers, as much as Palestinian resistance movements are labeled terrorists. All the while, north Korea has suffered from inhumane US embargoes that block essential medicine and agricultural resources that have killed thousands of people, contemporaneously with Israeli embargoes on Gaza that deprive children of basic human necessities like water and flour.

So despite the controversial nature of the Korean Unification flag, which is representative of a persecuted political ideology in south Korea, where pro-reunification activists are frequently harassed and incarcerated under the anti-communist National Security Law, it grounds me. The blue One Korea nestled inside the keffiyeh reminds me of not my roots as a Corean person on that tiny peninsula we call our ancestral home, whether we are from the north, the south, or in the diaspora, but also of our solidarity and connectedness to all colonized people who struggle and resist everywhere.

As we yearn to see a Corea that is one, so we envision a free Palestine from the river to the sea.

Ran Park is a home-taught pianist, self-taught composer, and an ever-evolving experimentalist. Joyful contradictions run throughout her music, from romantic and impressionist classical to free jazz, gospel, Korean folk, and notions of pop. 

With all this unhinged curiosity as her energy source, Ran’s mission is to say ‘yes’ to the child in us; yes to embodying fuller expressions of the many identities we carry. Doing so, she argues, is a necessary step towards generational and collective healing.

Wombs in which we find solace. 

Was the womb a safe place? Who really knows? It no longer exists. Where else can we find comfort and stability? Our own mind? External stimuli? What environments create this same confusion? Energy, mental and physical drives us to find comfort from what scares us. 

Do our decisions ever find safety? 

Choices lie within, down pathways leading to loss or hope. Mindful connections to our body. Deeper meanings to even deeper feelings. Perhaps, we can. Just. Be. 

Distortion within this piece is used as metaphor for the unstable boundaries in which our emotions so frequently come into contact. It is our way of pushing past the prescribed limits of the digital audio landscape. There is beauty within the “noise”.

Hi friends,

This week we continue our remote mix series, this time with a transmission from along the Nile: Cairo based DJ Sabrout mixed 90 mins of deep house for you, all right in the pocket and aimed at your heart.

I met Sabrout through friends of the label Erik & Moon on a night they’d put together at Jupiter Disco back in February. Sabrout was on before me and on his way back to Cairo the next day, where he was planning to get to the work of nurturing the scene that was budding in his city.  Things worked a bit differently in Egypt, he said, the authorities don’t love the parties and you had to be smart to not get yourself in a lot of trouble. But things were starting to happen - the people wanted this music,  and he wanted to be a part of getting it to them. I imagine that’s on pause for now, like a lot we love, but I sensed a drive in Sabrout that I don’t think will be extinguished this summer.

I woke up to this mix in my inbox on a recent Saturday, and took it out on my fire escape with a thermos of coffee.  Several weeks into this thing, legs hanging through the bars, gazing off. There’s space in this mix and propulsion over it. A lot of emotion too, but not nostalgic. Forward-facing. Odd as they’ve been, a new day was kicking off in my corner of the city, and this was the perfect soundtrack. Sun was out. Some voices nearby. Have you noticed the insects are coming back? 

Enjoy,
Max

a space where sound is sound, without needing to be music. 
a space where we promote all audible oddities, in fact, encourage.
a space where we focus on the whole.
a space where time isn’t measured.
a space where no structure is okay. 
a space where silence is accepted.
a space where active listeners flourish.
a space where sounds that normally don’t get heard, get heard.
a space for intellectual physical emotional spiritual analysis of sounds that excite you. 
a space for you to be weird about what you find sonically beautiful.
a space for you to play all the groovy rhythms you want, if you want. 
a space for you to play all the ambient drones you want, if you want.
a space for you to play all the hair standing unexpected glitch you want, if you want. 
a space for you to play none of the things that are expected.
a space for traditional world sounds, in an untraditional manner. 
a space for comfort in discomfort. 
a space for not just sounds, but also words, poetry, whispers and voice.
