@mnml-ssgs this mix still rips thanks for making it

i would so love this mix in high quality. there's a playlist on spotify but some of the tracks are missing, and it's not mixed. the mixing adds value

Proxima Selections - Hanoi Community Radio

The circuitry of curiosity, the playfulness of the patch, the sublime in the subfrequency. Coalescing together in an emotive dance, these eloquent elements comprise the foundation of JakoJako's approach to music. Whether you find her deeply engrossed in her modular system, performing live at Berghain as a part of the Leisure System crew, or working behind the counter at the legendary Berlin synth shop SchneidersLaden, her profound knowledge and passion for translating her external and internal worlds into sonic anomalies permeate throughout everything she does. 

Versatility and virtuosity are the common threads woven into her productions, such as her recent album with Unrush founder Mareena Altas Der Gedanken on Muzan Editions. The same can be said for her mix here, which features everything from traditional southern Laotian music to øjeRum and Steve Roach. As a close friend and collaborator of Unrush, her contribution is long overdue. We couldn't conceive of a better artist to bring us into the warmer months with a glimmer of hope and a glimpse into the infinite...

MFM: Hi Aimée. In the musical landscape nowadays it often seems to be all about the final result (or product even) rather than the process and path before it. With your music it feels that it's more about the process of making rather than the final outcome. Where does your profound interest for experimenting with audio and composing come from?
 
GR: Nice to hear that you see it that way and to know that it may be perceived like this from the outside as well. The work itself and how we experience the process is what matters most. It’s not always easy to be mindful about how everything is created along the way. The end result or end product is important, but if you don’t enjoy the process of how you get there, I don’t think it makes much sense to even undertake the journey. And of course this applies to many aspects of life.
 
MFM: You've got a rich experience in doing technical work for and at radio stations and with other kinds of media. Did you have someone to teach you all the ins & outs of audio and technical production?
 
GR: Most of the technical work I learned directly through working as I did not go to any audio school to study sound design or audio engineering. When I started to work as an audio engineer for radio stations and other media outlets 13-14 years ago, there were not many audio schools like there are now. Back then, the people I worked with were mainly composers that had learned audio engineering on their own, just as I had. However, as a child, I was formally taught music theory and musical instruments. That, of course, came long before the technical work.
 
MFM: Your first official release dates are from 2017 but you had been active with experimenting, composing, and recording for a much longer time already. At what point did you find yourself confident and pleased enough to share your productions with the outside world?
 
GR: When I moved to Berlin in 2015 I took the first few years to research and study the sound I wanted to express and felt a connection to. Long before that, I was building and playing other genres. It takes time to find your sound and style, and the interesting part is that it continues to evolve over time. Even when you think you’ve found it, it still changes slightly.
 
MFM: Do you go to the studio religiously, regardless of whether you feel inspired or motivated? Do you have a certain routine when working in the studio?  
 
GR: I don’t go to the studio religiously, at least not to make music. 
I do work every day, but often I am just sitting in my studio listening to music, writing emails, or having meetings. Many people don’t know how much work is behind a project. From the outside, what you see is just the tip of the iceberg. I mostly compose in phases; I might compose a lot for two months and then the next month I will be focused on researching, or preparing a live show, recording a mix like I did for you, or creating a sound installation. I need time to absorb what I compose and let it rest, and then get back to it.
 
MFM: Are there any new projects that you're working on and can share with us? 
 
GR: I am working on several beautiful projects at the moment. This year I am working on different collaborations of which the releases will follow in the near future. I have a new album coming out either at the end of the year or beginning of 2023. I am currently working on an immersive installation and I will also be premiering a new AV show with the visual artist Marco Ciceri this summer.

Ciao tutti,
The latest episode of my NTS show from last night is up for replay!
A la carte this month : 
♏︎ 🌝 Scorpio season, a time of transformation, introspection, and powerful growth. 
💌🎋🧙‍♂️🌀 I’m honored to host the legendary Vladimir Ivkovic @vladimir, who guides us on a profound journey. His sets dive deep into a realm of feels and texture ~  a moment of stillness where time vanishes, pure bliss ✨ 
A full circle moment for me, when I first met Vladimir, we spoke about "The Mushroom at the End of the World" by Anna Tsing, a book that explores the life cycle of the matsutake mushroom as a lens to examine resilience, collaboration, and survival in precarious times, which aligns with today's energies and Scorpio season. 
Hope you enjoy the mesmerizing voyage Vladimir has crafted for us.

Here is the first in what I'm hoping will be a regularly recorded mid-afternoon, unplanned mix series alongside my brother from a Spanish mother @raul_rs. And maybe even the odd solo outing too.

But for this first effort we go b2b keeping things below 90bpm as we dip, dive and chug our way through an afternoon, proving to no one but ourselves that "everything sounds better when you slow it down". So unbuckle your seat belt, grab yourself a spanner and prepare to bypass the compressor because the next 2.5 hours we'll be dropping out of light speed with "those weirdos you sometimes see at a festival", Raul and SBat. I've got a bad feeling about this...

With "Herning," Niko García invites us on a sonic journey through a landscape of peace and contemplation. This three-track EP, , is a work that fuses ambient and downtempo, creating an atmosphere that feels as vast and ethereal as the sunflower field gracing its cover.

In their esoteric symbolism, sunflowers represent the search for light, optimism, and joy. They are flowers that turn towards the sun, a perfect metaphor for Niko García's music, which seems to guide the listener toward a state of luminous introspection. Each track is a sunbeam illuminating a different corner of our consciousness.

"Herning" isn't just music; it's an experience. Its meticulously constructed sonic textures create an auditory tapestry that calms the mind and revitalizes the spirit. It is the ideal soundtrack for moments of meditation, for a solitary sunset, or simply for disconnecting from the world's noise and reconnecting with oneself.

This EP is a safe bet for genre lovers and a hidden gem for those seeking a soundtrack for their personal growth. Niko García, with his musical vision, has managed to capture the essence of a sunflower field: a natural beauty that, with its simplicity, reveals the complexity of the search for light. "Herning" is, without a doubt, a reminder that even in stillness, we can find the direction to bloom.
