A modular synthesiser master, in her lucid dream-like compositions, JakoJako evokes ecclesiastical music, tapping into the nascent spirituality of dancefloors. She's spent years buried in books, manuals and patch cables, learning everything there is to know about synthesis, even quitting her nursing career to work at the legendary Berlin synth shop Schneidersladen. A resident of Berghain, she’s teamed up with Tresor's Mareena for the EP Atlas der Gedanken, out on the Japanese imprint Muzan Editions, and in 2022 released her debut album Metamorphose. The record sees JakoJako take her celestial sound to even more heavenly heights – an organ synth is topped with raindrop melodies, steadily panning out to rose-blushed clouds of euphoria.
