A Whiter Shade of Pale

This track was created after watching two tutorial videos: one about arpeggios (thank you Distort the Preamp) and one about negative space in mixing (thank you Mercurial Tones Academy). This is now one of my favorites I've ever done.

Best Behaviour

Celebrating the Lunar New Year with ‘Lì xì’, the first track to be shared from JakoJako’s brand new album, Tết 41 - out 25th April.

This record is, in many ways, a distillation of ideas JakoJako has been exploring for years. Tapping into a deep understanding of machine-based music and illuminated by references to her heritage, Tết 41 reflects on notions of rebirth, and the pursuit of a sonic core. From this simplicity emerge some of her most expansive, unworldly compositions to date. 

“I wanted to collect the atmospheres of Vietnam, and strip it back to my language - electronic music. I don’t have huge ties to the traditions of my Vietnamese family, so being able to experience them with my mother, and then bring the Lunar Celebration - the colourful flowers, food and customs - back to Europe through music has helped me realise how important this side of my heritage is.” - JakoJako (aka Sibel Koçer)
