It started with an urge to play with sound, a DIY synth, and a desire to know more. After several years buried in books, manuals and patch cables, JakoJako was performing her first live sets around Berlin, and spending every spare penny on Eurorack modules. The passion became all consuming, and in 2017, she left her nursing career to work at the legendary Berlin synth shop Schneidersladen, where’s she’s been sharing her knowledge of tools and techniques with the city’s music makers ever since. 

Technique is no use without ideas to apply it to, and fortunately JakoJako has a natural supply. “When you hear a sound in the environment, say a car passing by, you don’t appreciate the complexity until you think how you might synthesise it.” She explains. “Then it becomes something abstract; a collection of modulated pitches and timbres. I love to listen to the world like this..”

Her approach may seem studious, but JakoJako uses this fluency in the language of sound to convey emotion, and each track is an experiment, with success based on the intensity of feeling it creates. Her debut EP “Aequilibration”, released in 2019 on Leisure System Records, showcased this explorative mindset, with four very different stylistic ideas tied together through emotive sound design, sharp production, and a strong sense of melody. 

The release was followed by a string of live gigs, performed with her modular system and Elektron boxes, including a release party at Berghain, playing a standout set alongside Ben UFO and Marie Davidson. 

With regular events disappearing in 2020, live music migrated online, finding a global audience in shared experience of isolation. After streaming a live set for HÖR Radio, she was invited to take part in an online event for Arté, hosted by Innervisions and United We Stream, alongside Amé and Frank Wiedermann. This led to a filmed live performance in her studio for Fact Magazine’s Patch Notes series, and an in-depth video feature for Electronic Beats, which together have over half a million views (and counting).

Offline, JakoJako has made good use of the time in her studio, producing tracks on compilations for B-Pitch Control and Figure Records, remixes for Crouds on Intumi, and most recently, for New Order on Mute Records. More solo work is in the pipeline too, including a new EP for Leisure System Records, due in mid  2021.

Perhaps best-loved for his dynamic take on techno in both his productions and his DJ sets — having been involved and around music for nearly 30 years, @DVS1 is an expert in his field, a true veteran of the scene whose roots extend beyond DJing into grassroots raves and event promotion in his native Minneapolis. 

These days, he continues to push his own limits, getting involved in and starting up projects that fuel his love of music, but also his love of the community he was raised in and helped build. His most recent venture, Aslice, is a software-based platform which proposes a fairer music ecoysystem for DJs and promoters is in its early days, but its concept is bringing up questions for both me and Zak. 

For episode 47, we're exploring the value of art, the definition of success, his own personal perceptions of his worth as an artist.

We are releasing the next chapter of our podcast series with a very special entry.

When Sleeparchive plays live, ultra-effective loopy techno is delivered. His productions build on a subtle kind of monotonity, repetition and uncompromising rawness. This one hour of timeless Techno par excellence is an excerpt of his performance in Hungary, recorded in November 2022. 
Roger Semsroth's Sleeparchive project has a long list of releases starting from the early 00's - with 12s on Tresor, Arsenik, Oscar Mulero's Warm Up Recordings, and his selftitled Sleeparchive label. His most recent output is available on Bandcamp - be sure to have a look.

For each release a fitting color is chosen from the Pantone universe.  Sleeparchive's color is Pantone 444.

HEX | #717c7d
RGB | 113/124/125
CMYK | 38/15/18/43

Reclaim Your City 526 | Biri (London)

Taking over the controls this week, please welcome Israeli-born / London-based producer and jockey Biri, stepping up with the face-melting wares and breaksy belters to start off the week proper. Responsible for some choice slabs on the likes of Figure and Non Series, Biri treats us to an ever-impeccable two hours of chiselled body music, deftly moving the cursor from utilitarian DJ tools to off-piste divagations into outer-spacey territories. Balancing out the narrative/impact ratio to perfection, it’s an absolute feast of mystique-imbued electronic joints and heavy-duty techno from the deep. Cut off the engines and let Biri’s intricate currents drive you clean and sharp into a state of committed subjugation.

Acronym first surfaced in late 2012 on his own imprint, Dimensional Exploration, putting out mind-bending EP DE 001. Since that time, ჰis music has been released on Abdulla Rashim’s label Northern Electronics as well as setting a regular cooperation with Semantica Records where he found a platform for his latest LP, Entagled In Vines, in 2016. 

With his contribution to Bassiani Podcast series that was recorded live at BASSIANI while RA in Residence’s opening night Acronym serves up one hour of deep, percussive techno loaded with the most energetic, fresh and mind-bending tunes of himself. Moving from a cinematic, shadowy introduction the live-set turns into diverse rhythmic section where Swedish talent shows us the virtue of his thrilling and trippy techno sound.


თანამედროვე ტექნო სცენაზე Acronym-ის დებიუტი 2012 წელს ლეიბლზე Dimensional Exploration ამავე სახელწოდების EP-ით შედგა. რამდენიმე თვეში მისი რელიზები Abdulla Rashim-ის Northern Electronics-ზე გამოჩნდა, რის შემდეგაც Acronym-ი ლეიბლთან პერმანენტულად თანამშრომლობს. ამ თანამშრომლობის შედეგია შვედი არტისტის პირველი ორი ალბომი, Mu და June. მისი  უკანასკნელი კრებული Entagled In Vines კი ლეიბლზე Semantica Records გამოიცა.  

Acronym-ის მიერ BASSIANI Podcast-ის მორიგი სერიისთვის ჩაწერილი ლაივ სეტი მან კლუბში BASSIANI, ონლაინ გამოცემა Resident Advisor-ის პროექტის RA In Residence-ის ფარგლებში დაუკრა. არტისტი მისთვის დამახასიათებელ პერკუსიულ და სინემატიკურ ტექნო ჟღერადობის უპირატესობებს საინტერესოდ გადმოსცემს. რამდენიმე წუთიანი ინტრო სექციის შემდეგ, Acronym  სტრანდარტულ რიტმულ სექციაზე აგებული ტექნო კომპოზიციებს გვთავაზობს, რომელთა დრამატურგიულად გამართული მონაცვლეობა მსმენელს შთამბეჭდავ მუსიკალურ გამოცდილებას ჰპირდება.
