For the extended  Q&A plus OG pi pi pi track game... please visit our website -------> pipipi.life <---------

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Ello, I’m Jackson. Pronouns are He/Him. Residing in Eora/Sydney

Who/what currently inspires you music-wise that has nothing to do with music?

Water and light mostly 

What is your favorite party/collective where you reside and why?

Too many faves. Some heavy hitters off the top are Umami/Echo Flats/Heavenly/Community Chest. They are %100 in it for the experience. Community Chest is a joint force crew of about 7 great crews from Sydney – It’s kinda like when the power rangers come together to make that big robot fighter guy

What was your best moment at the supermarket?

They were playing Bill Withers in a Woollies once and it got me

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

Max D – Indie Rock on C- was maybe the last one that got me good. Max D only plays by Max D’s rules

Any advice to upcoming DJs/producers? 

Enjoy your life & be kind to others

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

More love and respect, always

𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗱? 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝘀…This was recorded in Garage Noord curated by upsammy 4 Oct 2025 with Rabih Beaini originally but Loma Doom in the end sits in for Rabih.

𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿?
I was thinking to combine all the range of my musical reach into one fun mix closing the floor of Garage Noord.

𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗱, 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘂𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀?
Yea so i have been working in GN as a sound engineer for over 3 years. I started doing live bands on thursdays before doing club nights and I grew up musically by working with various artists from different scenes. I admire the core of different subcultures and i think there is always some attitude or vision that i picked up along the way forming my own musical taste

𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲, 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘂𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?
The idea behind the curation is to bring out my friends that i have worked with to get to know one another. I worked with Ciro for his graduation project called Last Paradise together with 6 other SNDO graduates, touching the theatrical element of what can be music performance. Laura (RRRadiant) used to be my studio mate back at a.round studio with whom i grew very fond of as a person and as a collaborative spirit. She also does the artwork for my Radio TNP series Pseudosonik. Pittori Locali is the band i have been digging a lot ever since we met on Keep Space Fest 2024 in Utrecht, where it showcased the collision of DJ ‘digging’ culture with live improv musicians. And Lars (Jaine) is also one of the most interesting curators at the moment in Amsterdam with his crew Ponte Neuro which just collaborated with Knekelhuis during this year’s ADE at Phonolake which was my ADE highlight. All of these different acts i have never seen together and wanted to bring that spirit in one curation night.

𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂? 𝗔𝗻𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗴𝗶𝗴𝘀, 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽?
My most current project is running the studio Scarlab at NDSM Amsterdam. Its a live room and creator/maker hub for people who want to build their own instruments, make music and perform for a small intimate audience that further emphasise collaboration between different artistic disciplines.

𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀?
Fun, and hopefully banger.

kinetic live 12: mangruv live at garage noord, amsterdam

My tape for Ulterior Motives, was released in May 2025. The small run of 50 sold out quickly, so it felt right to share it more widely now that some time has passed.

Music from the likes of Claude Young, Jiln, Ross 154, Ability II, Vivian Withers, People In Control, Valentina Magaletti, Skinnyman, Bass Clef, Robert Aubrey Lowe, and Princ€ss. 
Love to Noah for the collaboration, Benji for the mastering & to Benedict for the artwork.
