FREQ of the week! A studio-head in the true sense of the word, YokoO’s last 20 years have seen him master house music in all its deepest forms. With a prolific and impressive discography, YokoO has made his mark on noteworthy labels to date with original releases and a back- catalogue of strong remixes.

He’s turned the heads of many a label boss from Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Matthew Dekay, Lee Burridge, MANDY, as well as racked up plays from a broad spectrum of industry reference artists. YokoO’s music has proven time and time again it can reach the record bags of the DJing elite in every continent.

His most recent notable projects Pachamama and Euneirophrenia anticipated the evolution behind the January ’21 release of his latest EP Jivanmuktih on Crosstown Rebels’ offshoot Rebellion. 2021 marks for YokoO the re-birth into a significant new chapter of his career as a producer, with a matured musical intuition charged with seductive blends of eclectic, deep, minimal and hypnotic house grooves.

Like a mantra vibrating beat by beat, his music abides only to his deepest meditative intuition and revolves around the creation of unbound free flowing states of creativity echoing in stillness a deep connection to nature where every subtle detail counts for rich in artistic expression and depth.
“I am committed to the Truth”. With these words, DJ YokoO explains how he draws inspiration from his Yoga practice and the Yamas as he prepares for the launch of his new label SATYA, a project that signifies the maturing into a state of unbridled surrender to the craft. With SATYA, he intends to support and represent artists who embrace creativity as a non-compromising act devoid of any expectation.

His constant evolution as a human being plays hand in hand with the authenticity of his creative process, committed to releasing unpredictable sounds that never fail to communicate, connect and move.
Between gigs, you’ll find YokoO producing in his home-build studio in Lisbon or saluting the sun somewhere in Mexico.

Ich öffne meine Augen und Sonnenstrahlen kitzeln mein Gesicht. Draußen scheint ein wundervoller Tag begonnen zu haben. Doch mir bereitet das helle Licht nur einen stechenden Schmerz in meinem Kopf. Genervt wende ich mich zur Seite und flüchte aus der Sonnenseite des Bettes. Eine unbekannte Schwere macht sich in mir breit und raubt mir jeden Antrieb. Die Ereignisse der letzten Tage fordern ihren Tribut. All das Erlebte habe ich bisher nicht ansatzweise reflektieren können. Mein Kopf hat bisher alles verdrängt und mir den Rücken frei gehgalten damit ich einfach funktionieren kann. Doch jetzt scheine ich mich dieser Aufgabe stellen zu müssen. Erinnerungen kommen unwillkürlich in mein Bewusstsein und wollen eingeordnet werden. Was war Fiktion und was Realität. Wo habe ich mich richtig verhalten und was hätte ich besser machen können. Doch ich schaffe es nicht in diesen Kategorien zu denken. Etwas in mir weigert sich die nahe Vergangenheit zu beurteilen. Statt Klarheit zu schaffen, verunsichert mich der ganze Denkprozess und verursacht nur noch heftigeren Kopfschmerz. Und so fliegen einfach Szenen der vergangenen Nacht unkommentiert durch mein Gedächtnis und verschwinden wieder in der großen Dunkelheit. Eine Dunkelheit die in mir existiert und etwas zu verbergen scheint. 
Ich sammle all meine Kraft und raffe mich auf. Schließlich ist draußen immer noch ein schöner Tag, der auf mich wartet. Also Sonnenbrille auf und raus vor die Tür. Hier nervt die Sonne auch weit weniger und gibt mir im Gegenteil sogar Kraft. Jetzt noch Musik auf die Ohren und eine Runde durch den Stadtwald, um die Akkus aufzuladen

Falls ihr noch Musik für euren nächsten Spaziergang in der Sonne braucht, können wir euch die deep story von Zone+ guten Gewissens empfehlen. Mit seinen Veröffentlichungen Auf Anjunadeep und All day i dream hat er sich einen Namen in der Szene gemacht und sorgt regelmäßig für gute Laune auf den Tanzflächen dieser Welt. Sein Set fängt die Stimmung des beginnenden Frühlings perfekt ein und schenkt Energie.

Some words from XLR8R:
"[...] And then there's this podcast. It's one of the most scrumptious, gorgeous sets that XLR8R has run in recent months—which, consider we've hosted mixes from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Audiofly, Dance Spirit, Fort Romeau and Virginia lately, is saying quite a bit. As YokoO explains in the video, the session's emotions run the gamut from joy to sadness, love and loneliness and back again, its soothing passages punctuated with moments of pure drama. In short, it's a musically rich hour of listening pleasure. Our suggestion: Grab a glass of wine (or whatever) and settle in for a while."

June 2019.

New York - my favorite city. A city where I spent some of the best times of my life. The energy, the vibes that the city has and the warmth of the crowd were all transmitted during my DJ set at the Williamsburg Hotel Rooftop in Brooklyn during an amazing sunset whilst overseeing the Manhattan skyline. Hope you all enjoy <3
